6 stylish, elastic-waist 'rich mom' pants to give your stomach some breathing room
My elastic-waist devotion is somewhat new. Pre-pandemic, I was an avid "hard pants" wearer. I squeezed into proper slacks before heading to the office and thought little of the sharp buttons, rigid zippers and stiff fabric that left my squishy midsection looking like pants-simulated Silly Putty by the day's end.
These days, I have little tolerance for any bottom that can't be described as "loose" or, at the very least, "expansive." But this doesn't mean I don't want to look cute! Here are six stellar options for when you want to look as chic as a rich mom but feel as great as when you're wearing sweats, "menopot" belly be damned.

Tennis star Venus Williams just revealed she's engaged. So, who's the lucky guy?
Love-love. Actually, amore-amore. Venus Williams made her singles return on Tuesday at the Mubadala Citi DC Open after a hiatus, but she's doubled up in her personal life. The tennis legend, 45, is engaged. So, who's the lucky fellow? Though she didn't divulge his name, according to widespread reports, it's the same guy she's been dating for a good bit: Hunky Italian actor Andrea Preti. The happy news came from the bride to be herself in a post game interview after beating Peyton Stearns, 22 years her junior. 'My fiancé is here, and he really encouraged me to keep playing,' Williams said at William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center in Washington, D.C. 'Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? It's 9 to 5 except you're running the whole time. Lifting weights and just, like, dying, and then you repeat it the next day. So, he encouraged me to get through this, and it's wonderful to be here.' The couple first sparked dating rumors last summer after being snapped by paps on vacation in Italy, and managed to keep the relationship largely under wraps. So who's the groom-to-be? As per IMBD, he's a 37-year-old native of Denmark who was raised in Italy and attended acting school in NYC. The former model's last credit is the 2023 movie 'Temptation,' a love-triangle drama which premiered on Amazon Prime. We see no sign of either one of them on their respective Instagram pages, but hopefully that will change once vows have been swapped. It's unclear where the two will tie the knot, in her home base of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, or on his turf in Europe. No doubt little sister Serena, 43, will be on hand to give Venus some pointers on married life. The Grand Slam champ wed Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, 42, in 2017, and they have two ring girls available, Olympia, who turns 8 in September, Adira who turns 2 next month.
