The answer

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.
