What's wrong with pleats? They tend to fit me better.
I don't wear jeans, personally, as I don't find denim (or any other fabrics that heavy) comfortable, but they seem eminently practical for those who like it, and if in good condition are not really any more informal that less less formal khakis I've got.
I tend to wear the (possibly just slightly more formal) microfiber ones when traveling, especially long haul, not because they're formal, but because they tend to shed crums, dirt, etc a lot better than the regular twill ones.
Ditto, I'll usually wear one of the same couple pair of heather-gray socks whatever color pants I'm wearing - because even if my shoes stay at my seat during a waddle to the lav, those never show ANYTHING, even things that might be visible picked up on dark socks (let alone white athletic ones.)
