Why are my pants wrinkling like this? (photos)

I have this not so cool crotch wrinkling thing on more than a few pairs of pants. It does seem more prominent on lighter/lighter weight fabrics. What is the deal?

Wearing fabrics make them wrinkle. Lighter fabrics wrinkle more than heavier fabrics. To eliminate those wrinkles, stop wearing the pants. Otherwise, live with it.

I have that too, especially with light fabric pants and when I sit the whole day. I fear you have to live with it.

Some people take their jackets off when they sit down, to avoid wrinkling. The true gents, however, also remove and hang their trousers whenever they sit, to avoid such creases. See: Robert de Niro in Casino.

Quite normal in ordinary wear. A good cutter can minimise but when you sit, the cloth does tend to bunch.

Press them.

Look, if you wanted a bunch of men to look at your crotch, there are easier ways.

Well, maybe not easier. But arguably less embarrassing.

Have you gone naked your whole life until only recently, when you decided to start wearing pants?

Yeah it was DeNero. There was also a funny episode of Seinfeld on this topic.
