What are flat-front trousers? Actually, you may have seen these types of pants many times and may even be wearing them without knowing what they are called. These are basically just pants that do not have pleats in them. They are designed to lie close to your body and therefore do not have the bulk that you normally see in pleated pants. They also have smaller pockets in general, to help them lie flatter against your body. Some styles may not even have pockets at all, or simply use mock pockets as a detail in order to give the pants a look of having pockets even when it has none.

These pants may come in straight, wide, or boot-cut legs and may be made from various fabrics including cotton, wool, and linen, among others. Most denim jeans are also flat-fronted, although they are not commonly advertised as such.

This is especially applicable to men’s trousers. This opinion notwithstanding, a lot of men still find that pleated pants are a lot more comfortable than their flat-fronted cousins. On the other hand, women prefer pants with flat fronts and consider them as being a lot more stylish than pleated pants. Of course, there are also times when pleats can add to a trouser’s overall appeal. Factors such as specific cut and current fashion trends should also be taken into consideration.
