You can also get them hemmed to a normal hem or if you don't like permenant solutions you could get the elastic ankle folded inward (inward cuff) as per the post above and sewn in this position with some basting stitches (truthfully, most people should be able to do this themselves - google basting stitch).

I classify them the same way, also. They're both silly, house-wear only.

We have these Shades of Greige sweatpants in store right now (haven't put them online yet):

I caved and bought the charcoal ones yesterday. Wore them all day and seriously couldn't be happier with them. Definitely not an everyday / every outfit pair of pants, but i'll be getting a lot of use out of them. They are the perfect hung over Sunday, grab coffee and a late breakfast pants. The W+H ones were a little too straight cut, and i guess 'normal' looking for me.

The problem with the AA sweatpants (and many other slim sweatpants) is that they tend to bag at the knees. Like after 10 minutes of wear. I wish they would put 5% spandex in it so the bagging wouldn't be so pronounced.

That's a silly argument.
