I've heard it pronounced both low_high and high_low. Can anyone explain the
meaning/reason behind the variation? (ie. difference in nuance, formal/casual,
regional dialect, etc.) Ideally, I'd like to focus on one pronunciation to
learn as a "standard" or "preferred learning pronunciation" if such a thing
exists. よろしくお願いします！

question
nuances pronunciation learning
ズボン pronunciation variation & explanation for
ズボン is one of the words that is pronounced differently depending on the
speaker. Typically it's pronounced as ズボン【HLL】, but elder people tend to
prefer ズボン【LHL】. Both pronunciations are widely accepted. If you want to learn
only one, I personally recommend ズボン【HLL】.
