Elastic waist How about loose knit/jersey pants? The text doesn't say that it refers to tops only.
Oliver Simões Jul 18, 2018:
On further thought, I agree with Muriel and decided to withdraw my previous answer. A couple of new terms occurred to me: leggings and tights. Here's some additional information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leggings Any thoughts on these?
Muriel Vasconcellos Jul 18, 2018:
Not convinced about 'mesh' I think it's more general. Mesh clothing isn't very common. I think it could be any kind of knitwear, including but not limited to jerseys.
Roxane Dow (asker) Jul 18, 2018:
Re: elastic waist I am wondering about the elastic waist. What item of clothing could this be, that is knitted and has an elastic waist?

Sweatshirts can have elastic waistbands, too.
