I'm not sure. But there can only be a certain amount of styles when it comes to clothes which is why styles are always recycled in fashion.

They are Chinese in origin, the baggy ones that is.

Yes, pantaloons look ottoman but I think medieval Arabs wore this style in Iraq.

No, Indians had baggy pants/trousers before the Ottomans. I think it goes back to Scythian times.
