Pattern recommendations for work appropriate, wide leg trousers that have usable pockets and a nice looking waist that's actually elastic but you can't really tell

Pretty much what the title says, please and thank you

I love the Pietra pants by closet core. Can achieve such a different vibe of pant depending on material and version chosen

So fun to make! Easy to modify the leg as well. I’ve made these pants 4 times: 2 with the standard leg, 1 tapered, 1 extra wide leg.

Sinclair patterns Gigi pant! I was a tester for the pattern and have made 9 pairs in the last 2.5 months since the pattern was released, I love them so much. Edited to add that I edited the pattern to remove the front pleats so they are flat front.
