I ordered these for my picky daughter. Everything fit her criteria but when they arrived they have slanted pockets with a kind of shiny piping (also in white) along the opening.  Personally, I think it dresses them up a bit without making them 'girly'. However, my daughter couldn't bring herself to wear them. Thank goodness my younger daughter loves them. Soft, 'nice' looking, comfortable, and, if you don't care for the piping .. know that your shirt tail should cover up the pockets.
