Fancy Pants

Elastic waist pants are no longer only for expectant mothers, gym class and the early bird special crowd. In fact, they have gone through quite a transformation these past few years and have emerged, well, chic. Since COVID lockdown, many of our WFH uniforms consisted of something with an elastic waist, which has carried over into the rise of loungewear, morphed into athleisurewear, and now, the chicest of all, formalwear. Enter silk (or satin) elastic waist pants, inspired by pajamas, but ready for an impromptu red carpet. Simply pair with your favorite silk or cashmere tank, blazer, or oversized sweater, add a necklace and flats and you are ready for any occasion.
