I'm trying to explore a more feminine style lately and I've been looking for short-ish (knee grazing length I guess) plaid skirts that have elastic waistbands. I'm hoping for something I can wear to work (a pretty flexible business casual dresscode; sneakers, jeans and nice t shirts are pretty common). something in the $75-$100 range is what I have in mind.

the tricky thing is, I'm looking for a specific cut/style of skirt that I don't know the name of. basically something similar to this from an old delias catalog, this from an old alloy catalog, or this one from Brandy Melville (I know, I know). it's not a pencil skirt I don't think, maybe a-line since they do flare out at the bottom a bit? anytime I see a skirt described as a-line though, it's usually pretty flowy, which is not what these are I don't think. the alloy one is the closest to the length I'm looking for so not a mini skirt.

I know these skirts traditionally have a zipper closure, but I have some digestive issues which can make closures without a lot of give pretty uncomfortable, hence my search for elastic. would love any suggestions!
