Walking trousers should fit snugly but not tightly. They should allow freedom of movement without restricting motion or causing discomfort. A slightly tapered fit is ideal to prevent snagging on branches or rocks.

In colder weather, thermal base layers or leggings can be worn under walking trousers for added warmth. In milder conditions, regular underwear is sufficient.
