The rich blue hue and slight crinkled effect on these 3.1 Phillip Lim Pleated Linen Trousers ($275) are worth mentioning. And while I'm still warming up to the new pant silhouette, these are a contender. Alas, they're trendy and I just don't think very flattering, do you?

I think it's only suitable for women with long legs
1are you kidding me? just because its designer doesnt mean its fashionable. they have the same kind of pants at coldwater creek.
2Looks like old lady pants
3Ewww!
4Even my mother would smack me upside the head if I tried to wear something like this! I think we've found something worse than "mom jeans"
5they look like something my mom would wear...even the color.
6Ew!
7Front pleats are a NO NO.
8not so much
9I'm sure my grandmother would have liked these. Me, not so much.
10The shoes are cute.
11These cannot be flattering on 99% of the population...cropped and front pleats??
12um, no
13Umm. Sure. If you happen to be as thin and tall as that model... and feel the need to add bulk to your hip/thigh area. But just go buy a $3 pair at Goodwill. I promise, they are EVERYWHERE, because they look horrible on all the normal-sized folks.
14Looks like something my mom would wear.
15I'm with Kaye . . . I like the shoes. Any info you can give about them?
16Not for me!
17Pleats on short shorts or skirts, OK. Pleats on pants, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
18I loathe pleated pants.
19It looks like my MOM's. And I can just swipe hers instead of spending that much since hers even look better than that.
20They look like 1980s mom pants. Yuck.
21is this a joke?
22I'm going to pass on these...so frumpy-looking.
23My grandma has these in every color! She will be thrilled to know how fashionable she is!
24MAJORLY FUGLY -- linen is such an impossible fabric too -- it looks wrinkled the moment you sit down in it!
25I am 5'1". Enough said.
26I love Philip Lim but these pants look like granny pants/mom pants.
27I hate anything linen!!
28too trendy, too 90's - they're not horrible, but I would not wear them. I love linen, but these don't seem like they would be flattering at all...
29I've loved the pleated wide-er leg look ever since the first season of The L Word when Jennifer Beals started rocking those modern power suits.
30Only on a size 0 that has a model's height. These don't translate well for the general public.
31I can't stand pleated pants!
32They should be paying YOU to wear them.
