I think that who they were responding to was referring to the male outfit.

That makes more sense haha. I'd call them pants though, since the stretchy part at the cuff of the pant still goes pretty close to the ankles but I can get behind the idea those are either very short pants or very long shorts. Haha

Only reason why I thought it was the girls outfit is because the last object they reference is the girls outfit before talking about them being shants.
