Hi I'm looking for something really specific but haven't been able to find the right thing yet but I'm sure it's out there. I want lightweight mens hiking pants/joggers (the usual stretchy, abrasion resistant, quick drying ~90% nylon/10% spandex blend that most use) with an elasticated waist BUT this is the important bit: I don't want a perforated elastic waistband (where the elasticated waist bunches together), I want a smooth elasticated waist band like the kind you might find on eg yoga pants or running leggings. The perforated waistbands tend to dig into my skin and cause irritation.

If you look for example at the MENS Lululemon License to Train Pants they have the perforated elastic waitsband (https://www.lululemon.co.uk/en-gb/p/license-to-train-jogger/prod9600638.html?dwvar_prod9600638_color=44629); but the WOMENS version of the same pants have the smooth elastic waitsband (https://www.lululemon.co.uk/en-gb/p/license-to-train-high-rise-pant/prod11520412.html?dwvar_prod11520412_color=35955).

Extra points if anyone can recommend something that meets these criteria and is inexpensive (Amazon brand) but obviously happy to receive pricier recommendations as well.

Thanks

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

TLDR; Does anyone have any links to pants that are just held up with a drawstring and not elastic??

I have one pair of pajama pants that I basically inherited (borrowed permanently) from my partner. It’s the only ones I wear now because they are drawstring only, no elastic built into the waistband. It doesn’t seem like it should be that hard to find another pair of them, but I have had no luck. I always have pain from elastic because it feels stiff and constricting.
