Hello fashion lovers! Anyone know how to say this in English? I thought something with "pleats", but then, wouldn't that be "plis" in French?
All suggestions greatly appreciated.
Here's the context, just a description of a new collection.
Le pantalon à pinces, fluide et ample, et la jupe longue oversized en denim sont des pièces phares de la saison, tout comme le short cargo porté haut sur la taille.

I agree with Tony : front-pleated trousers so as not to confuse with the men's pleated pants !

pleated trousers
I would suggest pleated trousers for this term, as in
wide, flowing, pleated trousers
you can also say
trousers with pleats
wide, flowing, pleated trousers
you can also say
trousers with pleats
Example sentence:
Traditionally, most trousers had pleats rather than being flat fronted.
This has culminated in pleated trousers without cuffs, and flat front trousers with cuffs.
