pleated pants

Creased waist legwear

Pleated pants have folds of fabric sewn into the waistband, creating extra room through the hips and thighs.

The pleats may face inward or outward and typically flatten when worn.

Once standard in men's dress trousers, pleats fell from fashion in favor of flat-front styles but cycle back periodically: He prefers pleated pants for comfort when sitting.
