Tl;Dr: the title of the post

I'm going to start HRT in a couple weeks and I need to dress business casual at the minimum at work. I'm not a big fan of dresses and skirts and I don't have a lot of money to buy a ton of new clothes with, so what are some good brands or styles of pants that will keep fitting as my proportions change? I don't want to wear sweats to work until I know what size to buy pants in, but I also have no idea what extent of changes to expect from HRT since no one in my immediate family has transitioned.

Am I overthinking this? I just want to avoid spending a fortune on pants in the next year.

Elastic waistband formal pants are wonderful but I'd make sure to practice tucking with them to make sure you're comfy when you go to work. Black ones are especially forgiving about tuck, and they come in materials ranging from yoga pants material to more dress pants type material. I'd look at Urban Planet or BlueNotes, if those are store you have nearby. You can probably find some online but I would highly recommend trying them on before buying anything.
