Cigarette pants that are known as drainpipes, slim or tight pants are gaining popularity as one of the hottest trends at Makerere University campus today.  

It is hard now on campus to move metres without noticing two, three or probably five in every ten students wearing slim fitted pants with a snug fit through the legs, ending in a small leg opening usually an inch or two above the ankles. These pants are sold in almost every boutique around Makerere University.
