I hate to bring back something from the infamous Thread-That-Would-Not-Die, but that's where it's written

Pleated pants or shorts of any kind NEVER look good. If you're not fat, they make you look poochy in the belly. If you are fat, they're like skirted swimsuits -- we know what you're trying to hide and you're not fooling anyone. I'm just sayin'. They're like mom jeans -- unflattering to everybody.

I dont think that the model in the pictures posted by KillarneyRose looks too bad, I dont think he is hiding an extra 15 pounds in thoes pleats. In fact I believe that thoes picture are taken from the Polo website, the top picture being the Andrew shorts I think, which is exactly what I wear on a regular basis. Nothing wrong with the longer ones I just prefer the shorter inseam.

kroakies are important

they keep the sunglasses from falling off when you're on a boat or jetski, etc.


why all the hate?

Just because we don't understand doesn't mean we don't care.

I agree... Pleated front pants or shorts are just unflattering, and I also agree with the short lengths KR posted.. first one, while not HORRIBLE, is definitely second to the slightly longer one below IMO... I'm just sayin'

Whoever said pants or shorts with pleats in them are horrible is baffling to me. They are far classier than flat front pants and shorts that look ridiculous with a tucked in shirt. I don't think flat fronts are very comfortable either.

To me, those that don't live in the South will never understand the prevalent fashions revolving around seersucker, madras, nantucket reds, bill's khakis, boat shoes, loafers, croakies, and standups......and I would much rather look like my extremely successful 50 year old father than a trashy douchebag wearing ripped up hollister and abercrombie.

Well, as Long as they wear Clothing would be good wouldnt is be?

Heck dont most wear cloths that are comfortable with l;ittl;e Greek Recognition?.

Are Greeks uncomforatable wearing Letters or Badges?
