The ‘Pleat’ option involves tailored folds of the fabric on the pants, offering more breathing room and helping to hide broader waist-lines, as well as bulging pockets filled with your phone, wallet or even hands. The ‘No Pleat’ option is ideal for those with slimmer figures, whose aesthetics are better suited to a more seamless and smoother look. The ‘Single Pleat’ option is considered more modern, since they possess the functionality of a pleat, while being faintly visible. The ‘Double Pleats’ option offers the best balance between form and function.
