1. Con cinturilla y muchas palas iguales (la que más me gusta). Se reparte la tela entre la parte delantera y la trasera (2,5-3 en cada parte) y se deja una abertura de unos 20-25 cm en la parte superior a cada lado (es decir, la cinturilla está partida en dos).

Pleated vs. Flat-Front
There seems to be a never-ending argument going on in the world of fashion: What is better, pleated trousers or flat-front trousers? In contrast to pleated trousers, and as their name suggests, flat-front trousers have no pleats but a contouring feature that helps the fabric to lie flat against the body. Below is a comparison of the differences between pleated and flat-front trousers.

I also thought about 'box pleats' but I don't think that's right for trousers. Thank you, Charles :-)
