Pants are a type of clothing worn on the lower half of the body often from the waist to the ankles and covers both legs separately. Pant don't have to reach all the way to the ankles, but they do have to cover both legs separately. If they don't cover the legs separately you might actually be wearing a dress or skirt.

Knit is a type of fabric that is often used to produce ladies pants.  Knitted fabric is a textile that results from the process of knitting.  Knitting can be done by hand on or textile machinery.  The properties of knit are distinct from woven fabric in that it is more flexible (offers more stretch than woven).

The topology of a knitted fabric is relatively complex. Unlike woven fabrics, where strands usually run straight horizontally and vertically, yarn that has been knitted follows a looped path along its row, as with the red strand in the diagram at left, in which the loops of one row have all been pulled through the loops of the row below it. Because there is no single straight line of yarn anywhere in the pattern, a knitted piece of fabric can stretch in all directions. This elasticity is all but unavailable in woven fabrics which only stretch along the bias. Many modern stretchy garments, even as they rely on elastic synthetic materials for some stretch, also achieve at least some of their stretch through knitted patterns.

What ever style of pant you are wearing today is most certainly in style.  If you want to be even more stylish, you should wear your favorite knit pant today.
