Pleats or flat front

[mrdoodge]

As the title says. I'm in the market for a couple of pairs of casual trousers. What's the trend these days a single pleat or flat front? I'm undecided which I prefer!

Depends on your shape, no point trying to squeeze into flat fronts if you have a gorilla's arse.

No, I'm quite the opposite actually, no arse to speak of, but a rather larger paunch than I would like!

Tbh flat fronts are for the slimmer build, you don't want the overhanging look.

There is more room to manoeuver in pleated trousers Flat front only suits a slim built IMO.

Flat and slim

I'm of the opinion that pleats only look good on tailored trousers - they don't seem to work on casual materials and certainly not on creased linen. Unless you want to look like a hobo that is.

All depends on your body shape I'm medium slim build nice flat front Italian cut style suit for me.

I am slim actually skinny, and I been told that pleat front trousers don't look good on me, and this has been said by more then one person including few women!! so apart from jeans I prefer flat front
