Jeg tror at "regular leg" gjelder lengden av buksene. Jeg selv må altid kjøpe "long leg" bukser!!

Look at the small pictures at the bottom, with contrast with short leg and regular leg.
Hope this helps!

I teksten min blir "regular leg" kontrastert med "straight leg" og "bootcut", så jeg havnet til slutt på "normale ben". Uansett er forslaget ditt rett.

normal benlengde


Explanation:
Jeg tror dette er en veldig vanlig betegnelse på bukseben.
Det er også vanlig å si at buksen har "lavt liv".

rette ben


Explanation:
Jeg mener at det er snakk om presisering som f.eks. slim leg, wide leg, flared leg etc, (samt regular leg som er "vanlig", rette ben). I kilden min snakkes det om "standard", men "regular" er vel det samme som "standard" i dette tilfellet.

"There are five types of pants. The standard one, all the way on the left, is a common pant worn by males and females. The pant is pretty straight. The second, is a boot-cut pant which is a little wide at the bottom to allow for boots. The third is tapered pants that is also non-gender specific. The ends of the pant becomes smaller, following the line of the leg. Fourth, is the bell-bottom pants that has recently become fanshionable once again. The last pant, takes the bell-bottom further - called a flared pant."
