Anyone prefer pleats over flat fronts or strictly pleats only?

I talking about for chinos not dress pants.

Anyone prefer pleated ones over the flat fronts or strictly pleats only?

I prefer 1 pleat down the center of the leg continuous with the crease. It's so nice.

Pleated chinos have been out of fashion for years already. If you have a pair or two with a single pleat, fine but they should not make up the majority of your pants. If you really don't care, wear whatever you want.

IMHO, a single pleat looks fine if the pants themselves aren't overly baggy...
I prefer forward pleats, too.

Pleats preferred> I wear them and the views of others do not deter me.

I like a single reverse pleat on suits, and no pleats for casual pants. I think the pleat makes pants more comfortable but looks too formal for odd trousers. It's probably all in my mind.

A slim single pleat can look good, though I've yet to find RTW pleated trousers that don't just look ridiculous on me, so all mine are flat-front.

The chino pant with 2 forward pleats is a timeless classic pant.

Anyone who says this style of trouser is out of style, is just plain ignorant.

If I were to say that the chino pant with two forward pleats was never in style in the first place, we could be both be right and yet neither be ignorant.

I prefer double reverse pleats than flat front

 

[trum01]

Definitely flat front.

But maybe its an age thing. I'm 25.

I prefer flat-front trousers and chinos. Very modern and trendy you dig!

 

[minervau]

Definitely I prefer flat front but I have a few pleated pants and they can actually work well if you wear them right.
