Men's Pants - best style?

[saad]

pleats are classic. if nicely cut and well fitted, they can look better than flat fronts.

i agree and with the rise of the entire "metrosexual trend" flat fronts have become boring and just as cheap-looking as pleated pants used to.

All of my Zegna slacks are pleated and are beautifully cut. There's no bag, and in fact they lie flat. It's a design element. Are we talking about Dockers or fashion?

but i wouldn't date anyone who wears them because i don't want to date my dad...

I think you definitely have a point. I've seen adrien brody wearing the pleated zegna (and some gucci ones too) slacks with pleated fronts and I think they look quite fetching. not fatherly (since this very true reference seems to keep coming up ) at all. I think it does help to be the right build though.

On a slim man (Slimane? ) pleats, I find, are très chic. There's something about a slim frame with lots of fabric draped over it a way that appears loose but is actually tailored. 'What your grandmama wore' is what's 'hip' en ce moment so why not what grandad wore too?

Please use the normal font and don't use bold. That's really awful to try to read.
