I see what you mean by the bunching at the front. Supposedly the Leith track pants Angie just posted about doesn't do that -- I am cautiously optimistic (waiting for my order to come in)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-pants-with-elastic-waistbands#post-854348 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:31:30 +0000 Lauren 854348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I just bought a pair of J.Crew silk pants with an elastic waistband and found them sort of unflattering and difficult to style (see here: <a href="http://thepearshape.com/review-j-crew-silk-pants/" rel="nofollow">http://thepearshape.com/review-j-crew-silk-pants/</a>). With an elastic waist the fabric tends to bunch and I feel like either you have a super drapey blouse on top, or something skin tight to balance it out. </p> <p>Would love to hear others opinions </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-pants-with-elastic-waistbands#post-854191 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 04:04:04 +0000 cciele 854191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise -- great outfit! I like those pants.</p> <p>Claudia -- thanks for the visuals, those are useful</p> <p>Tracina -- great tip about the belt! That hadn't occurred to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-pants-with-elastic-waistbands#post-851603 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 14:11:31 +0000 Anonymous 851603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I wear elastic waist bands I usually wear the top covering it. Sometimes I will wear a belt over top the waist band. I don't like the elastic waist band showing. I only wear elastic waists low on my hip I can wear a belt over and it will just sit there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-pants-with-elastic-waistbands#post-851583 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 13:42:52 +0000 Claudia 851583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"... four different ways to style a pair of black silk track pants..."</p> <p><a href="http://www.coastal.com/thelook/silk-track-pants/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coastal.com/thelook/silk-track-pants/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-pants-with-elastic-waistbands#post-851453 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 05:07:43 +0000 CocoLion 851453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really don't mind the elastic waistband. I have worn them with a long sweater, and with semi tucked tees. But these have a nice (but sweaty) faux leather waistband so I don't mind it showing.</p> <p>ETA: here's what I'm talking about<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----debuting-new-lunchdinner-sack-clutch" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ack-clutch</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-pants-with-elastic-waistbands#post-851439 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 04:40:52 +0000 Suz 851439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping because I am equally curious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-pants-with-elastic-waistbands#post-851380 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 03:41:54 +0000 cciele 851380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So for those of you exploring the track/jogging/slouchy pant with elastic waistband look, how do you plan on styling them? Is one of the primary goals to cover the waistband? </p>
