FAQs

What are pleated pants?

Pleated pants are trousers where the fabric is folded and stitched in the front for a sharp, more formal-looking style. They provide a narrower fit around the waist with more room in the legs when you sit or crouch.

How should men’s pleated pants fit?

Men’s trousers with pleats should sit higher on your natural waist, usually just below or near your belly button. This lets the pleats flow nicely and open up properly when you sit.

Can pleated pants be worn casually?

Absolutely. Style baggy pleated pants with a more casual tee, polo or casual button-down with the sleeves rolled up for a more casual look.

Do I Love Ugly pleated pants run small?

The sizing can differ between the styles and fabrics. Check the size guide before you order to see how each design fits, especially more structured fabrics that have limited stretch.
