The men's trousers extended quite high, even by the standards of high-waisted pants, as they had to overlap the rather short jacket a few inches to avoid any "peek-a-boo" from any undergarments/undershirts, even when sitting.

Interestingly, although the DS9/NEM and VOY standard duty trousers were rather form-fitting and seemingly constructed specifically for the wearer, the formal trousers were more adjustable via a back elastic waistband, as evidenced by these photos of screen-used formal trousers shared by Steve Tweed on the Starfleet 1701st:
Thank you kindly for sharing, Steve!
As you can see, the back elastic waistband pulled the trousers taut around the wearer, and they were also stitched twice through the elastic itself, presumably to keep the elasticized fabric distributed across the back as evenly as possible.
Also note the elastic suspenders, which were simply topstitched into place through all layers.
Lastly, as with the DS9/NEM and VOY duty trousers, the formal trousers had an internal waistband.
At the top of the trousers, the side trim and piping were simply turned under and secured, and the internal waistband (facing) was understitched ⅛" from the seam line/top edge.
The trousers were, of course, blind-hemmed (if they were "hemmed' at all in the traditional sense!), with the trim turned upward and secured via topstitching in the same manner as the top, and the elastic stirrup simply sewn onto the trim's hem allowance:
Thank you so much again for sharing and allowing us to use your photos in our analysis, Steve!
