During French Revolution
Wartime services of many kinds
undertaken by women account for

ing trousers today than ever be
fore.
It was during a period of great
national stress that men adopted
the fashion of wearing long trou
sers.
Before the days of the French
Revolution well-dressed men fa
vored knee breeches, while the
poorer people wore blue linen
pantaloons.
When the French
monarchy fell, anyone whose dress
suggested that he might be an
aristocrat went in danger of his
life.
Consequently, men of all
classes began to wear long trou
sers.
England did not take kindly to
the fashion when it was introduced
to that country by the prince re
gent. Even the duke of Welling
ton was refused admission to a
reception in London because he
was wearing long trousers.
In 1812 Cambridge university de
creed that students attending hall I
or chapel in long trousers should
be considered absent.
