Be a remainer? That's pants (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lingerie

'pants' is the definition.
(lingerie is a type of underwear)

'be a remainer? that's' is the wordplay.
'be a remainer?' becomes 'linger' (to linger is to remain).
'that's' becomes 'ie'.
'linger'+'ie'='LINGERIE'

(Other definitions for lingerie that I've seen before include "Women's underclothes" , "One from W Atlantic island group" , "Women's underwear and nightwear" , "Slinky undergarments" , "Ladies' underwear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
