  Dress slacks: Flat Front or Pleated?
A question for my millions of blog readers. Do you prefer flat front or pleated dress slacks? Please post a comment. Thanks.
 
Comments:
No question, flat. Haven't worn pleated pants since the early 90's.

Thanks JP. You are a true hipster.
 
Kim always says flat. No pleats.

Sadly, penny loafers and boat-shoes are out too.
 
It depends on the situation. With Austin being the casual metro, it's not surprising to see flat as a favorite. Pleated is a for a more formal/dressy situation, IMHO.
 
I prefer to wear pleated pants, but I'm still stuck in the 80s.
 
I think most women prefer flat front. My informal survey has shown this. I still maintain that pleats are acceptable fashion. I had never considered them more formal though...

Roger is indeed stuck in the 80's. His vote may need to be nullified.

Sorry guys pleated pants are not at all cool! A quick walk though the Castro will show you this. Although Doojie is right, it's hard to find a tux w/o pleats. What do you care, it's summer time and that means shorts in Austin!
 
Pleated pants are acceptable when:

1. You are thin and love classic, traditional style (2-button jackets, cuffs, pleats: think Robert Redford in The Sting).

2. You are over 50 and work in a conservative firm.

3. You are a heftier in the mid section. Flat front pants will look like sausage casing.

For the rest of the suit wearing world, flat front pants are a more attractive, sleek look. Please, no cuffs with flat front pants!!

Cuffs are fine on flat fronts that aren't tight chick pants (a la slim fitting crap "designer" suits that will be relegated to 2nd hand shops next season). If the pants are painted on and you weigh a buck ten soaking wet, then okay, no cuffs.
 
Great story you got here. I'd like to read more about this topic. Thank you for posting that info.
