This thread could not have come at a better time. I was just looking for elastic waisted pants!

Thank you! I may try the second pair you linked to. I'm in state government and it is NO fashion show, so these would probably work.

I bought a 5 different pairs, different cuts all on Amazon, priced $33-$59. The $59 boot cut pants are nice and thick, black with a bit of sheen. Flattering too. Another boot cut pair for about $40 is pretty nice. My office is quite casual so I can wear slacks with a sweater and call it a day. And I'm thin but I don't think these would be flattering if you have any curves.

Another pair were way too thin, like see through. Don't remember the type. Another pair was a tummy tightening or something and they were pretty bad. Also got a pair of slim cut ones that I like. Quite a variation of quality. I can find links if anyone is interested.

I'm interested!

These are my favorite. I got navy and they are the nicest ones- can pass off as decent trousers. They are very comfy and surprisingly forgiving/flattering.

I like these but they are very casual (charcoal color). Pretty comfy and very stretchy. Much less forgiving so if you have a butt at all they probably won't work. They don't look high quality (duh), think NY and Company. Fine in my non profit job.

Haven't decided if I'm keeping these. They are thicker but don't have any back pockets or details so they may not be work appropriate.

These just looked like tight sweatpants. Returning.

These were sort of long and wide. Not flattering.
