Suggestions for non maternity bottoms that are comfortable?

Hey Ladies! I have tried and tried but am not liking the maternity jeans. I feel like m belly is too high and the full panels just cut off circulation. Where I work you have to dress business casual daily and am looking for some places that you ladies have found good like stretch skirts or pants or capris. Might be a stupid questions but honestly I have looked a couple different places. I have some old skirts from Old Navy that work okay but I feel like their material has gone downhill and always looks wrinkled. I have a couple shirts from Target as well just really having trouble finding good skirts (maternity or not) or dresses that I dont have to be a lot bigger (showing more) to fit into. Any help would be appreciated! Just wondering where you ladies have shopped!

  • I'm a fan of stretch pants with a tunic-style top.  I got some comfy stretch pants from Gap and Old Navy, but I know Motherhood has them too.

  • I've fallen in love with One Step Up. I've been trying to find more of them (the one pair I wear to pieces is from Ross. So I've been trying to find more). They black cotton pants that are so versatile and stretchy. I want to say they are supposed to be work-out pants, but I wear them to work for business casual & everyone asks me where I got them. 

    I've been trying to find more, but apparently this brand is either wacked or not easy to find. I've been searching for more pants like it.

  • I've bought a few pairs from Destination Maternity and like their invisible belly line or something like that

  • I bought a few pairs of shorts and capris from Wal-Mart. They're Faded Glory. The waist is thick and stretchy with a little tie. They fit under my belly and sit on my hips. Very comfy. I LOVE the shorts.

    ETA - oops, just realized you needed for WORK not play.  But hey, these are still great!

    ETA again - thought I 'd also mention the roll top skirt from Old Nay. I can wear it folded down under belly or all up over belly as long as I have on a tighter tank to keep it there.

  • If you can wear jersey to work, try American Apparel (I buy from Amazon for much cheaper)  Their clothes are stretchy and the material is good.
  • JCrew... I got some linen pants and shorts that are super comfy (I'm wearing them now!)  https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/pants/trousers/PRDOVR~42047/42047.jsp

    I know you need work clothes, but if anyone else is looking for casual stuff, I have to ditto these.  In fact, I'm wearing them now.

  • any elastic waist skirts are working for me for now.  I dont think they will work when the belly gets too big. 

    I have 4 different elastic waist skirts.  One is too tight but the rest are the kind that just sit on your hips (not elastic tightness around your waist)  ]

    no store, beause I have had them forever. One is from White House Black Market.

  • I don't know if you have a Fashion Bug near you, but they have a lot of elastic-waisted skirts.  They do have a website if you don't have one in the area.

  • I love cotton skirts. I order the one below and love it, so comfy and a nice length for my work place. I didfn't love the color (somehow missed that it was purple), but it was comfy that I am keeping it anyway and buying more things that'll match with purple.
