It all depends. Sometimes skirts can be modest or immodest. The same holds true for jeans.

There is no mitzva against women wearing pants, per se. It is only against 'dressing as men' and immodesty. Pants or slacks of an exclusivly female cut or style that are not skin tight should be entirely appropriate.

For Gentiles, not Jews.

No, for Jewesses too. There is no mention of 'pants'. I heard an orthodox rabbi discuss it one day. Most religious have just assumed that 'like a man' means pants. But that could refer to blouses (which are like mens shirts) if you take it that far.

I doubt there is a single Posek who will tell you that pants are ok for Women. Jewesses need to stick to skirts...

It's probably tradition, custom and Rabbinical ruling, but the only mention of pants in the Bible is the commandment for the high priests to wear them under their tunics so as not to expose themselves.

Could be, but Mitzvos D'Rabbanan still need to be followed...

I love pants. However , being a female who was once kicked out of a church for wearing pants :o, I'm more for women wearing them than ever. lol I wear long skirts and maybe shorter (knee-length) flowing skirts. I feel feminine in everything I wear though. (It's important though, being a Chicagoan and all...that I wear pants during the harsh winters. Looking pretty, or feminine isn't worth me freezing my touchas off. O0 )

Can't you wear pants under your skirt?
--- End quote ---
No. lol I would wear a long winter coat or just wear pants to work.
jdl4ever:
The reason why in the past women did not wear pants was because pants was exclusively male clothing and a woman wearing a man's clothes is forbidden from the Torah. However nowadays pants are not exclusively a male's form dress since a lot of women wear pants as well so there is a good reason to allow it. Personally I think there is no problem with women wearing pants today.

But a skirt is more modest.

What, is that a male answer? LOL Come on now. I think some men are just threatened by women who wear pants. I don't know WHY but that's just strange. Anyway, I'd be more concerned with how long the skirt is (for my own taste) than whether wearing pants or not will make me look less pure.
I love skirts but I love having the freedom to choose whether I wear a skirt or something else.

It's not a "Male answer," it's G-d's answer. We follow His Word...
