Title says it all — I’m looking for recs for comfortable pants that are also stylish/can be dressed up. These could be denim, dress/pleated type pants, etc. Preference for something with a wider leg but open to anything :) also open to a range of price points, though ideally no more than $250

Hi, MFA,

I have a medical condition that causes me to get bloated occasionally which makes my waist size effectively increase by an inch or so. As you can probably guess, this makes wearing most pants rather uncomfortable. I've been using Haggar pants for the most part because of the elastic in the waist, but sometimes the flexibility of the elastic can be too much or too little.

So what I'm looking for is a pair of pants that can easily accommodate my frequently changing waistline without causing me pain or putting pressure on my stomach. I primarily need slacks and casual pants, but dress pants recommendations would be great as well.

Is anyone aware of any men’s pants with an elastic waistband and belt loops? Preferably in a similar style/material to the Metas?

I currently have several pairs of Metas that I wear to work but the inelastic waistband bothers me and isn’t super comfortable, especially considering how nice and stretchy they are otherwise. Thanks!
