gaucho pants (bombachas)

Gaucho pants, also known as bombachas, are loose-fitting trousers originating from South American cattle herders. Designed for comfort and practicality, they typically feature a roomy, baggy fit around the hips and thighs, narrowing at the ankles. Made from lightweight fabrics, they allow ease of movement and ventilation, making them suitable for work and casual wear. Inspired by traditional Argentine and Uruguayan attire, gaucho pants blend functionality with a distinctive style, often characterized by pleats, button or drawstring closures, and decorative elements like embroidery or braid. They are popular in both traditional and contemporary fashion contexts.
