The trick is to pull the pants up high enough that the belly itself holds them up. I do this with my pajamas but I'm unfortunately not old enough to pull of this look in public. The stereo type of old man having there pants pulled up to their armpits has a practical origin.

When you are young your hips are wider than your middle, making it easy for pants to stay up. But when your middle gets larger than your waist, the physics of pants don't work, and you have to either resort to torturous belts, or pull them up so high that you have camel-toe.
