A
pleat is a type of fold formed by doubling fabric back upon itself in order to
secure it in place. Its use in regards to clothing is to gather a wide piece of
fabric to a narrower circumference. In ancient Egypt rulers wore pleats in
order to highlight their status level. They remained more or less a luxury
until the invention of synthetic fabrics. As a result of this invention fashion
designers benefited from this as well as producers of room textiles, because
pleats do not take up their original shape again under the influence of warmth
or humidity. Flat-front pants also regarded as having no pleats, have a feature
called a dart that allows for the fabric to lie flat against the legs. The pleats
or no pleats look is generally based on the body type. Slim men usually stick
to the flat-front pants, while bigger men benefit from pleats because of the
extra room. See different pleats or flat-front pants as well as stylish custom
