open-crotch pants

Open-crotch pants were made invented by mothers in the Md villages to avoid their children pee on the pants because it took time to wash the dirty pants. There is a hole under the crotch , which makes it easier to pee.

High-waisted pants

High-waisted trousers are trousers that are above the navel or above the waist. Boys in the village liked to wear high-waisted trousers with neat white shirts. They look more formal and more energetic.
