Who the hell looks good in pleat-front pants?

[LaraMN]

I'm doing homework on media research, so of course this is the kind of thing that keeps popping into my head.
:eyes:

Purge!
Purge!
:banghead:

[av8rdave]

1. Hey, now...those are part of my uniform...so naturally, I like to think I look fine in them

of course, I have the luxury of not having to look at myself (thank god!)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Pilot pants!

Why do all the airlines make their pilots wear pleat-front polyester pants (that get all shiny across the fly from the seat belt)?

[av8rdave]

16. It's an ongoing effort to keep our self esteem in check, I think (it works!)

[Pierre.Suave]

32. HAHAHA

thats the best reply yet.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

2. People who don't sit

[Deja Q]

3. I prefer to wear pleated pants...

when people stare to see which bulge is bigger and they do have to stare, the pleats help shroud the delicious details... :eyes: I'll have to take a pic in non-pleated pants and most would understand why.

Or maybe I won't. :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

4. no one..

:shrug:

[Lex]

8. Agreed.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

5. My mom used to make me wear them because she thought they made me look thinner.

Which they didn't. I was a chubby kid. And I don't think she liked it.

6. Small people

only.

[Deja Q]

9. Define 'small'.

:spray:

[cwydro]

10. OMG

I don't think HT has ever repied to me before!:bounce:

I meant people with NO weight on them whatsoever...OR with a body that lets them get away with it. I used to look good in them, but have sort of passed that place now. Sigh.

[u4ic]

7. Golfers

especially when they're plaid. :P

[hickman]

12. Tall thin people.

They hang well on thin people. I saw David Bowie in the 70's, post Ziggy. He came out in a 30's style tweed suit with pleat-front pants. He looked amazing. I fell in love for a few weeks.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Tall thin people, whom I hate with the intensity of a thousand suns,

look good in everything.

Some of the rest of us, however, look terrible in everything. It's just that pleat-front pants seem to make the bad look worse. :cry:

[Awsi Dooger]

30. I'm tall and I love pleated pants

Plain front pants look like crap, IMO. Plus they feel much worse. I play golf all winter in pleated cordoruys and can't imagine wearing something else. They are loose enough to allow full body turn and I can throw an extra golf ball and plenty of tees in the pockets.

I bust up at all the "in fashion" and "out of fashion" paranoia.

[RevCheesehead]

14. Verrrrrrrry skinnnnnnnnny people.

:grr:

[Scout]

15. certainly not I--they make me look even fatter! n/t

[crim son]

17. Not all skinny people look good in those things.

If you have a tiny waist and nice hips, sure. If you're built more straight up and down, NO.

[Dude_CalmDown]

18. Nobody - but don't tell everyone!!

Or else everyone will get the flat front's and I'll have to start wearing pleats to stand out.

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

19. absolutely no one

i have no idea why they keep making them for overweight people.. it's just another pocket for the fat to sit in.

[LaraMN]

24. Bwahaha!

Nice assessment!
:rofl:

[Generic Brad]

20. I did 100 pounds ago

Now if I tried to wear them the pleats would pop out like a meat thermometer and indicate I was done.

[uppityperson]

21. Me. But I'm gorgeous in anything.

or nothing, as the case may be. Especially when I just got out of a hot bath with a double brandy.

[barb162]

22. women who are very tall and size 2 or size 4

[KitchenWitch]

23. I prefer pleat front pants - if'n the pleats are not too big.

[LaraMN]

25. Nooooo!

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

29. Yeah!

:rofl:

[ThomCat]

26. Almost all of my pants are pleat-front.

:shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

27. I know I don't.

I haven't seen too many people, especially women, who do look good in them. :puke:

[PassingFair]

28. Howard Jones

I'm sure he ALWAYS wore pleat-front pants.

I THINK he always wore pleat-front pants.

I am pretty sure I once saw a picture of him in pleat-front pants.

[NC_Nurse]

31. I did - back when they were IN.

They're just like any clothes on me - I have to find the RIGHT pair. Which ibnvolves a lot of looking, these days I don't care enough to
bother.

[AwakeAtLast]

33. Ummmm, how do put this "delicately"

My husband says that he needs the "extra room down there". He calls all other type pants "nut crushers". :shrug:

And I think he looks fine! :blush:

:hi:

Now purge that! :rofl:

[TommyO]

36. You are a very lucky woman!

[AwakeAtLast]

37. Yup!

I must be following the theme of the day in the lounge! :D

Just hope I don't manage to help get another thread locked!

:hi:

[Deep13]

34. People with external nads.

They offer a scoash more room. What's worse than a camel toe? Yup, you guessed it, a male camel toe.

[TommyO]

35. Not me - give me a kilt anyday!

Plenty of pleats, and they look good.

[mac56]

38. They're awful.

We refer to them as "Clown Pants".

Unfortunately, for the longest time, that was the only thing the Fashonistas allowed you to buy. GRRRRR

[MissMillie]

39. no one

no one looks good in front-pleated pants

however, every pair of pants should have at least one pocket, even if it's a little pound inside the waistband.

and pants should NEVER zip on the side.

[Norrin Radd]

40. It's difficult finding flat front pants, unfortunately.

[GalleryGod]

41. I do.

Of course they're Boss, Versace,and DKNY.:shrug:
