Is there a situation that deems pleated pants apropriate? I still have 2 or 3 pairs hanging in the closet, I'm wondering if I should donate them or keep them. If I keep them, what function/event would be appropriate to wear them at?

I wear them all the time to work. I don't notice if other people wear them or not, and I don't care if they notice what I wear.

I wear them for work and sometimes when I go out. I like pleated and non-pleated.

I wear them all the time to work. I don't really notice the pleats, nor do I go looking at people's midsection/torso for pleats.

EDIT: Pleated pants are usually on clearance too. I'll take a fasion disaster to save 60%.

I personally don't like them, although I do have a suit with single pleat pants that look good.

you guys are weird

pleated pants are fine

I wear them to work all the time the pleats only go down like 1.5 inches and they don't make me look fat

for khakis

imo they look better non pleated are a little to metrosexual for my tastes

why the hell would anyone wear non pleated slacks is what i'm wondering

I'm told I have no fashion sense and to just wear what is given to me, no questions asked.

Yes, I'm married. :p

I'm wearing a pair now. Why do I care what other people think? (That having been said - my other 3 pairs are all flat front)

I own several pairs, but they were all gifts. I wear them because I don't care what I wear to work.

At the risk of sounding metrosexual, I know why they suck though...the pleats make your waist look wide and make you look frumpy.

I have several pairs of carpanter pants whose straight cut legs and slightly tight waist make my waist look narrow...I'd be lying if I didn't look at myself in the mirror in them and think "Damn, these pants make my ass look good."

To my earlier post, add "and I don't care what my ass looks like."

Your wife is correct!
