The answer

If the trousers reach the ankles or are above them, it is not considered isbal (letting the garment hang below the ankles). If they fall below the ankles unintentionally, without the intent of pride or arrogance (khuyala’), then most scholars do not consider it forbidden. There is no dislike in praying in trousers that cover the awrah (private parts) and are not tight. However, tight trousers that define the limbs are disliked. If they are thin and reveal the awrah al-mughallazah (major private parts), then prayer in them is invalid.
