Being male, I find it far more attractive when a woman wears skirts and dresses. However, what gives the most glory to God? I think it is up to the individual to answer that question for themselves in keeping with reasonable modesty.

I don’t think it’s a sin, but I do appreciate that my wife always wears dresses to mass.
 
I don’t think it is a sin for a woman to wear pants. This discussion reminds me of St. Joan of arc. I think they actually used the fact that she wore men’s clothes as an argument against her. But, that was a different culture far removed from today.
 
If there is, I am a bad sinner. But there’s no teaching that wearing pants is a sin. I go to a quite traditional church and almost always wear pants.
 
This is as close to a dress code you will find in the Catholic Church. Seems like ladies can wear longer shorts and dresses/skirts. When you go to Rome you will see the “fashionista police” standing outside churches and the Vatican museum making sure people are properly dressed. If not, visitors are asked to cover or leave.

There is a Marian apparition in somewhere (Vietnam I believe) where just visible under her dress are a pair of pants matching what women of that area wore at the time, given Mary always appears as a native of whomever/wherever she appears. I can’t imagine she would do this if it were immoral.
 
Depends on the pants. If they’re obnoxiously tight so to accentuate the body for specific purpose of drawing attention, then yes. And that’s quite common today.
 
There was also a time when if a woman were menstruating, she was considered unclean… fortunately the chuch jettisoned that stupid idea… same should be done with the ban on pants or forcing woman to wear burkas …
 
No it’s not a sin.
My nationality is Croatian,a traditionally catholic country and women wear dress/skirt a lot but also wear pants and nobody has an issue with it or say it’s is a sin.

Croatian woman are feminine and Croatian men are masculine.
The point isn’t about wearing pants but about not trying to be the other gender.
Eg:some people today want to be gender fluid or we see some lesbians dress as men and vice versa and I think this is the real “issues”.
Generally though,most women’s pants are in feminine shape or even sexy look,and most men pants are masculine shape.

When CAF crosses paths with “what not to wear” Or “say yes to the Dress” You know the end is nigh.
 
And on the otherhand,look at Samoans for example-all the women and men wear “skirts”.
