Splice in some fabric that blends and make it a design feature. Most of the
microfiber clothing fabrics are polyester, and they tend to hold creases.
FWIW, if I recall the original story, the seamlines in these pants came about
because of lack of quite enough fabric:

Or you can run a couple of rows of decorative or topstitching over the old
creaselines if you decide to open the original hem/
