Is it permissible for a woman to wear trousers that are neither tight nor transparent, and is this considered an imitation of men?

It is permissible for a woman to wear trousers in front of her husband or her mahrams (unmarriageable kin) if they are modest. This is not considered imitation of men unless the trousers are exclusively for them. However, in front of non- men, it is not permissible if there is nothing over them to cover the body.
