The back waist has elastic, but it doesn't look like it, so it can be worn neatly even when tucked in a shirt. ^ ^ The entire garment is made of slightly shiny, crisp fabric with stretch, making it suitable for all seasons. Although there is no lining, the material is firm, so the lines of your underwear are less likely to show through. Length: Cropped Silhouette: Slightly relaxed slim tapered Rise: Regular rise Front zipper and hook closure Front side pockets (Back pockets are decorative) #officestyle #commute #school #manish #casual #easy pants #secretlyeasy #looksgood #hiddenelastic #pantstyle #stripepattern #stripepants *** As this is a used item, inspected and stored by an amateur, and has been home-cleaned, there may be slight fuzzing or fraying on the surface.
