Unless you're rail thin and working on Wall Street in the 40's there is no reason you should ever wear pleated pants. I promise you if you look one rack over in the JC Penney men's department, you'll find the pants labeled "Flat Front". Give em a shot! At least then you'll only have one amorphous blob you call your ass in the back instead of two. No one likes front butt.
