How do you prevent high-waist pants from slipping below the stomach (skinny-fat) without a belt?
For pants that allow belts, I could use a belt but what about those that are elastic? They just tend to slip..

You get the lower rise version
Or you want the waist to be taken in
You always have four options to keep pants up.
1. Fitted so well they don't slide down -- quite dependent on body shape and pants
2. Belt -- somewhat dependent on body shape
3. Side adjusters -- somewhat dependent on body shape
4. Suspenders -- the best option from a purely mechanical point of view
I guess elastics are in fact an option. And drawstrings are belt-adjacent shhhhh
I want to got high raise pants that aren't covered by the shirts so I look taller. I'm 168cm but poorly fitting pants tend me make my legs and me as a whole look shorter than I really am IMO
But elastics could slide down too. The pants in the picutre are elastic nightpants that keep sliding down my stomach as I move
Yes. Elastics often aren't great at doing the job. That's part of the whole bit about trouser shape, body shape, etc.
For someone like my shape, usually the hip bones are the one definite thing that'll stop trousers from sliding down, but that means a lower rise than I may want. So the answer becomes one of the above. Fitted to my natural waist (which is my thinnest part but may not be for other people), belt or side adjusters and fitted enough that the combo works, or suspenders (which calls for a jacket that doesn't come off).
Are fitted pants tight so they can't slide down? Or what kind of tolerance should they have?
You can buy elastic webbing with rubber grips on Amazon and sew them into your pants. Most important thing though is making sure they fit well (or really tighten your belt)

Again it depends on body shape. If your natural waist is in fact the narrowest part of your torso, then a pants waist designed for that height and width would have nowhere to slide down, right? If that's your strategy, there is always going to be a small gap between your physical dimensions and trouser waist dimensions, but the precise difference is going to be both modest and dependant on, you guessed it, your body size (and the cut of the trousers.) Key is to ensure that all the rest fits too, not just that the waist cinches, and that it's comfortable standing and sitting, and the pockets aren't flaring out, etc.
Got it, thanks for the answers y'all 🙏
