elastic waist

Forgiving pants feature

An elastic waist is a waistband with stretchable material sewn in, allowing pants or skirts to expand and contract without buttons or zippers.

Common in casual wear, children's clothing, and garments designed for comfort or fluctuating body sizes: I only buy pants with an elastic waist now.
