These are not QUITE dressy enough for me to wear to school (my office!) or other shirt-and-tie occasions. The lack of crease, being a bit short for the size, and kind of a funny "ankle to ankle" cut at the cuff (as opposed to toe to heel) make these extremely casual. However, they are very comfortable, fit nicely in the thigh and waist, and breathe nicely. I like the gusseted crotch. For flip flops and a short sleeve shirt on the weekend, they are great. I would love for &Collar to take another stab at something closer to a dress pant, but still retaining something of the feature set.
