Eileen Fisher‘s may work for you.

Look for ponte pants. Shaped like a pant but made with knit material. Many places carry them.

Congrats on your retirement!!

Ponte pant

I see the button from the jeans sticking out into the top.

Sometimes just wearing a belt (even if it's not needed for support) will help with this.

I like the Juliet ankle pants at Chico's, part of their "So Slimming" line. There is a 40% off sale now: So slimming Juliet ankle pants

Not a knit, but a stretchy fabric. I like the wide waist band for holding in my tummy.

Dillard's Park Avenue pants

I see the loops of my skinny jeans sticking out. I was just thinking about removing them since I will never wear anything tucked in with them.

I agree about ponte.

I have a pair of these Charter Club ponte pants from Macys in black. I like them because they don't bag out at the knees after wearing all day.

I was killing time the other day while having my car repaired and ended up at Old Navy. I am in love with Old Navy's Pixie Pants. The Old Navy skinny jeans are too too skinny for me, but the PixIe Pants were just the right amount of body hugging for me.

Oops, I see you want pull ons. Never mind.

J Jill has pull on ponte pants as well. AND they have pockets!

Try Jag jeans. They have jeans that are pull on with a flat waistband. No zipper or belt loops. Many styles. I buy at Lord and Taylor

Second ponte

(or third? never mind)

very comfy. You can find dressier, more casual...very versatile

many makers...well mine are older so I'm afraid to recommend..as I don't know whether they're still as good as they were

From JJill:

• Wearever bootcut, slim leg and wide leg.
• Ponte -- for a heavier knit, slim leg is all I've tried
• Pure Jill -- for more casual, around the house, errand running

For lounge pants, I love Soma (Chico's sleep and lingerie store) 'Cool Nights' pjs and the French terry pants.

I have 2 pair of Van Heusen jacquard pull on pants that have a sturdy weight to them, are very tapered and do not sag. Mine are 2 years old and I’m not seeing them on line but they are similar to these (mine are not ankle pants and they have gold zippered pockets):

thank you for all of the suggestions- I am taking notes avidly. To clarify I was searching for pull on because even if I have ample room or if they are tight, somehow the closure seems to show through in a sweater and it is not a good look. It's funny as I look at many of the links, most of them do show with bare leg (come on folks it's winter!!! soon to be anyway and socks are absolute) and what really entertains me, is they show with a top tucked in. I get that they are showing the belly part of the pants, but n my wildest dreams I could never wear a knit pant with a tucked in top. I am looking to wear with longer tops and just don't want that belly button sticking out!

Appreciate all the suggestions. I had luck last year and the year before at Target but they seem to have changed their merchandising around considerably to I am lost. Old Navy too- I will give them another try especially for jeans.

I bought some at Costco that I love. I wish I had bought more because I could live in these they are so comfortable and great price. I am heading there now but unfortunately Costco doesn't always have the same thing for long.

My latest favorites are LLBean perfect fit. They come in petite and med, slim fit, straight leg and boot cut. They're as comfortable as PJs, but look like real pants.

I also was going to suggest the LL Bean perfect fit pants. Get the kind with the slimmest leg, although sadly they have no pocket. I wear them for plane travel when I want to be comfortable but look neat.

I had yoga pants from Old navy that I adored, lots of them, but lost everything in the flood. I need some more. I certainly don't do yoga in them, but I do live in them. They have some good jeans too. I had several pair of yoga capris too.

ravencajun, I bought some at Costco too! If they don't have them in the store check online.

Target has or had some nice yoga pants that I have purchased that I really do like in case someone is looking for yoga pants.

I have a very old pair of black soft cotton stretch pants that I have been wearing in the winter under sweat pants to keep warm at the dog park that I love. They are at least thirty years old...seriously. They do not make clothes like they used to! HAHA! I need a replacement pair! Heavy cotton stretch, straight legs and a high elastic waist.

I found some of the Kirkland Signature French Terry pants for sale on ebay.

Mine arrived today.

No one mentioned Lands End, so I will. :-)

I bought some nice ones for mom at Kohl's.
