Add Some Elastic!
I'm wearing a pair of over-sized linen pants today and they won't stay where I want them to. The built-in drawstring would be a logical fix, but not as effectively as it should. My torso is fairly squishy and constantly changes shape, so drawstrings make lousy belts. Heck, belts make lousy belts, unless they're stretchy. Then I thought that a bit of elastic in the back would be great. Which led me to question why there wasn't elastic in all of my pants. The only thing I can think of is that elastic waistbands are for "old ladies" and therefore harder to find where I shop. Hrm. Maybe I'm an old lady already.
