Is pantalón vaporoso a loose fitting trouser or gauzy, or is there another meaning for vaporoso, does anyone know please?
I have found different definitions for vaporoso, but when I look for images, I get a variety of trouser styles because the browser includes images for both words.
Thank you for your help

Robert Forstag
: Good documentation, and "flowing" is a defensible translation based on existing use, although I don't think "flowing trousers" really works (I'd think about firing the copywriter or translator responsible!). I'd go with "lightweight summer pants/trousers.

Thanks, Robert. They look like pjs but it's a very popular term, and not only with Spanish companies in the UK. I suppose once popular brands start using an expression it sticks.
