elastic waistband
Forgiving trouser cincher
An elastic waistband is a band of stretchy material sewn into the waist of pants, shorts, or skirts, allowing the garment to expand and contract for a comfortable fit without buttons or zippers.
Common in athletic wear, pajamas, and children's clothing, elastic waistbands also appear in dress pants marketed for comfort: I've switched entirely to elastic waistband pants for travel.
