'''Three quarter pants''', '''pedal pushers''', '''shants''', '''shpants''', '''clam diggers''', '''flood pants''', '''jams''', '''highwaters''' or '''culots''' are commonly used expressions to mean pants that are longer than shorts but are not as long as trousers. They typically come down to between [[knee]] and [[ankle]] length. This phenomenon has been in fashion for about the same length of time as [[culottes|skorts]], layering clothing and other combined clothing fashions. Though similar to [[capri pants]], they have their own unique style. Some designers also use the different words to mean slightly different things, such as having one leg long the other leg short. |

[[Pedal pushers]] are so-called because they were originally worn by cyclists, and are still useful as such. The short leg means the bottom does not get caught in the chain or crank mechanisms, or covered in oil and dirt - a common problem with normal trousers, which is alternatively solved with [[Trouser clips|bicycle clips]] or similar. For instance, professional tennis player [[Rafael Nadal]] wore three quarter pants during matches earlier in his career. |
