I ordered these pants in the plain front style in navy blue before buying these pleated ones in a lighter color a day later. When the first pair came, I tried them on to find a huge amount of static cling in the legs. I said to myself, "Oh no -- another pair is on its way!" I reluctantly sent the blue ones back, thinking I'd also return the second pair when they got here. But.....I discovered too late that the cling and static were caused by the silk pointelle pants I was planning to wear under these microfiber slacks. So, I guess I could have kept the other pair -- live and learn. Like other reviewers noted, these pants are too long (reason for only 4 stars), but I will simply wear them with my clogs which take up the extra inch or two. And since they don't work with the silks, I'll just wear them in warmer weather. Nice pants, though -- very good quality, and great for travel, I'm sure.
