While most women today wouldn't think twice about reaching for a pair of pants, this hasn't always been the case for the fairer sex.<\/p> <p>In the past, women only wore dresses and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/fashion\/trends-and-tips\/streetstyle-inspiration\/skirt-office-feminine-265515.html\">skirts<\/a>, whereas pants were reserved strictly for men.\u00a0In the late 1800s, women started to wear pants for industrial work as a form of practical workwear. However, it was only in the 1920s and and 30s that women began to incorporate pants as leisurewear. Hollywood actresses\u00a0Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich, who caused an uproar when they were spotted wearing them, popularised the trend. Even so, women could not simply wear pants whenever they wished. They were mostly limited to wearing pants for certain activities, such as cycling and tennis. Only in the 1970s did pants finally secure their place in the realm of women's clothing, be it for business or recreation purposes.<\/p> <p>It's fortunate that modern women generally no longer have to worry about whether it's acceptable to wear pants. We even have the freedom to be creative with how we dress! A more relatable problem today is treading the fine line between fashion and function.
