    I've got a few stories that are female first person POV, and being a guy I often need pointers, especially with women's fashion. Like, 'what are those three quarter length trousers women wear called?' , 'what are the different types of women's shoes called?' etc etc. Google probably thinks I'm cross dressing.

    We got you covered Dansak (or rather RicoLouis does in his CharactorCreator resource) https://chyoa.com/chapter/Bottoms.309633.
    The trouble with the fashion industry though is that the names change every few years.
    From RicoLouis' list, I'm pretty sure you're looking for Pedal Pushers, but I have also seen these referred to as Clam diggers and Capri Pants.

    RicoLouis's encyclopedias of terminologies is a treasure trove of words, scenarios, locations.

    OMG ! What a great resource that is! Saved to favourites now! Thanks for the link, it will help me no end. From memory, I think the term I used at the time was capri pants. It doesn't help that sometimes I write from a US-centric story and other times I write from my native UK, where terms and sizes for clothing can be very different. And don't get me started on Australia, where thongs are flip-flops!
