Trousers – le pantalon

(Pronounced pahn-tal-on)

To remember that Trousers is pronounced pahn-tal-on (pantalon) in French, use the following mnemonic:

The dog wore trousers as it panted along (pantalon).

Pantalon is masculine, so it's le pantalon. Imagine the early learner trying on trousers way too big for him.
