Why do my pants look like this?

This is just one of my pairs of pants, and I'm very into the vintage pleated trousers look, but a lot of them have the same problem. The crotch just generally looks unflattering and too large, for lack of a better term. Are pants like these just in need of alterations, or are they a total loss?
