"Ce pantalon très ample est vraiment élégant."

Translation: These very loose pants are really elegant.

[LSadun]

I think the right word is "baggy". (Not accepted, though)

[TedLandres]

When did baggy or loose pants become elegant?

[LSadun]

Those of us who are over 40 would say "never". Our children might disagree.

[GraemeSarg]

I think she is trying to describe something of this nature:

In Britain, we would call it a wide-leg dress trouser, but I doubt if Duo accepts "wide-legged" for "ample".

Although it doe not look particularly elegant in this photo, when paired with the right jacket and accessories then, if you are tall and slim, it can look stunningly elegant.

Got to say I've never heard of a wide leg dress trouser before. Who wears them?

[GraemeSarg]

Cate Blanchett or Charlize Theron for example:

(and others).

This is a clunky sentence in English. I would never use very and really in the same sentence like this. Does it sound just as bad to a native French speaker?

Could we say wide fitting pants? I know they are fashionable at the moment and can look lovely on tall slim women. Not for my 5 ft 3 inch body!!!

Those very loose-fitting trousers are really elegant. = accepted Mar 2021.

should there be a liason between vraiment and elegant as in pronouncing the t of vraiment, if so why not? not sure I completely understand the rules, thanks in advance :) !

Why isn't 'ample' accepted? It's the exact translation!
