Question
Can women wear trousers or pants?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
It is obligatory on a Muslim woman to cover her ‘Awrah (parts of the body that must be covered in Islam) with a dress that does not shape her body and which is not transparent.
The ‘Awrah of a Muslim woman in front of another Muslim woman is from the navel to the knees. Her ‘Awrah in front of non-Mahram men is her whole body with the exception of the face and hands according to the agreement of the scholars, and the face and hands are from the ‘Awrah according to the most correct opinion.
Therefore, the trousers generally expose the shape of the limbs, so she is not permitted to wear them except before her husband.
Allah knows best.
