Stylish, cute elasticated trousers - do they exist??

I'm currently a size 10 as I've put on some weight. Most of it tummy (post 2 c sections so a bit floppy!) and bum. I've been squeezing myself into my old size 8s, which is painful. Bought some new size 10 trousers that still dig in around the tummy, but fit well everywhere else. I have one lovely pair of elasticated waist trousers - New Look, black with a white print, soft material, and I love how they fit. But every other pair I see with an elasticated waist looks really granny-ish.

I'm looking for something stylish, not frumpy while I attempt to lose some tummy. Do they exist?

(If they don't I'm just going to keep eating and live in my dressing gown Grin )

I got a pair recently in Primark, they are really soft and elasticated at the waist and ankles. They're not wide at the top like harem pants, more slim leg. The ones I got have a blue/black/white print all over, but I think they had other colours/prints too. I was surprised at how good they look on, as well as being comfy. They could be worn with heels or flats i.e. dressed up or down and were a total bargain! I'd definitely recommend them.

macnab those sound ideal! I'll treat myself to a Primark trip soon (and probably buy half the shop!)

There's a lot of them in the shops just now for summer - a sort of slightly baggy at the top, narrower at the bottom, big elasticated waist, lots of prints and colours all in a thin cotton. I got a pair for going away for the weekend from Next and saw lots of other people wearing similar.
