I bought these pants about two years ago and never wore them until now - I fell in love with the pleats, the movement, and the fact that they're subtly sheer. I thought they'd be the perfect pants for dinner in Yountville (in Napa County), and to make sure I wasn't too dressed up, I paired it with my lightest chambray. I think "dressy casual" is one of my favorite dress codes.
