What about 7/8? It is a caption of the fashion page in magazine. So It must not be size, right? I don't think it is about the length either, because the length varies from picture to picture. Could you give me an idea what it refers to?

Those are the pants that do not go down your leg completely but stop somewhere above the ankles and mid-calf. They are the newest fad this year. The length may vary a bit, but this is the meaning.

This website says: 7/8 hosen sind ein wenig zu kurze Freizeithosen - i.e. they are just a wee bit short.
