I like the corduroy fabric of these white pants because it is heavier than the see-through fabric of typical lightweight white pants, but lighter and more comfortable than thick white denim that is not see-through. I like that my underwear is not visible and that I do not need to wear flesh-tone that matches my skin color. The corduroy for these pants stretches and is very comfortable, and the texture adds some interest - although it also make wrinkles more visible.
