Can wear to work or out casually to brunch. I received many compliments. They are very comfortable, and the inner shorts are perfect, was pleasantly surprised which keeps the lines seamless on the body. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a wide flowing cotton pair of pants. The material is not see-through and again the inner shorts would take care of it if it were, the material is thin as expected but warm enough for the fall because of the inner shorts. The color was just as pictured and expected also.
