Comfortable and stylish trouser options when waistbands suddenly feel too tight

[ricketybeauty]

This feels like quite a niche issue, but suddenly I have become completely intolerant of anything feeling "tight" around my waist. I had lost quite a lot of weight and have been now going to the gym so have probably thickened up slightly, but I think the things I am wearing fit as they are meant to, I just can't stand it!!

My style is very much trousers day to day - I used to practically live in jeans and now I only have one pair I can face wearing.

Anyone else had these fit issues? Anyone got any suggestions for bottoms that still feel cool and stylish, but aren't going to have me pulling at my waistband all day??

I hate tight things around my waist too and I've found Uniqlo trousers to be the most comfortable. These ones look like jeans

They do them in plain colours too

I also have the curve ones for work. They seem to be sold out now but they do other styles.

They're all super comfortable, I don't even realise I'm wearing them. I'm a size 12 and I wear a medium.

I only wear stretchy trousers and jeans. I cant stand any restriction. I have stomach problems that can make me swell up some days not others. I need some give.
