Please excuse me, Ms. I-Shared-A-Runway-With-Someone-Marginally-Famous-And-Was-An-Extra-In-Some-Movie-With-Someone-Else-Who-Is-Famous. We simple Midwestern folk look to the papers of record in your big big city for guidance. Although we understand that the neckerchief craze is totally Mojito/Iceberg Lettuce/Paigow in New York by the time it hits the Times, that means we still have six months to a year to be cutting edge here in flyover land.

Once again, my opinionated friend, you speak from the lip without involving the brain. When you think pleated pants, think of the masters of sartorial splendor. Think Gary Cooper. Think Fred Astaire. Why you would as soon seen one of them in unpleated trousers as you would have seen J. Edgar Hoover at home and not in lingerie.

Pleats allow the legs of your trousers (that's right Skippy, they're called trousers) to drape gracefully. They're what men wear so they don't get confused for boys.

Nothing against Ms Hepburn - when she was young she would have looked good wearing paper slippers, but for the rest of us, in my opinion flat slipper shoes are not particularly sexy unless you are really little and pixie-like.
They do look cute on the tiny types you describe. Lamentably, I am not among their ranks. I have a pair that I wear only with certain skirts (two only). They look cute, but only because the skirts disguise my non-waifishness to an acceptable degree.

Now, now DTB, you are waifish in my mind. I get called waifish not infrequently and I recall thinking "Damn You DTB" when you were talking about your Earl Jeans a few seasons ago. My not-very-big-but slightly-developed-from-cycling-thighs did not fit into Earl Jeans properly. So, you'll always be uber-slim and dainty in my mind.

Don't forget stinky.

And right now suffering from third-degree burns for getting too close to the lovely-neckerchief-and-plaid-pants-with-bondage-straps-wearing flame-thrower that is PLF.

Mostly agree with Coltrane. I own pleated pants. I am 6'4" and around 190. I am pretty sure I do not look fat wearing them. In fact, I am wearing pleated pants today. I do not even think that flat front pants always look better. Dissenting from PJ, I am also wearing a sport jacket today. I am hoping I do not look like someone forced me to wear it to dress up for my kid's piano recital, or whatever. I suppose, if I had the cojones, I would post a pic of my current outfit and let the FB stand in judgment.
I agree. You look smashing:

For those who wish to wear the buttplug to work, there are some nifty rubber pants with which to wear them on some website that I can't remember the name of. Apparently specially made to wear with such accessories.
Yes, but are you wearing pleated pants or flat fronts over your rubber pants, Dear?

Obviously he posed for that before getting the cute purple-with-pink-polka-dots neckerchief to go with it. Which is so hot.
