Don't say `a pants' or `a shorts'. You can say a pair of pants or a pair of shorts. It doesn't take long to choose a pair of pants. He is wearing a pair of shorts and a T-shirt.

"Pair,” from the Latin, means two like things. And pants (pantaloons) were originally two like things. You put them on one leg at a time because they actually came in two pieces
