What is the evidence for the prohibition of a woman wearing trousers that cover the 'awrah, even if only in the presence of other women or mahrams, on the grounds that they describe the body and reveal its attractive features?

It is impermissible for a woman to wear tight trousers that accentuate the body parts in front of women or mahrams, due to the display of her allure that such attire entails. This falls under the meaning of "those who are clothed yet naked," as mentioned in the hadith. Scholars have interpreted this phrase to mean tight clothing that defines the awrah and reveals its size. It is not permissible to wear tight clothing that reveals a woman's allure except for her husband.
