How do you choose the right work pants?

The best women's work pants balance comfort, structure and versatility.

Look for:

Stretch fabric that moves with you
A waistband that stays comfortable through long workdays
Easy-care fabrics that resist creasing
Practical pockets
A silhouette that works with flats, sneakers and heels

Traditional office trousers often deliver on structure but fall short on comfort. Nimble work pants combine tailored silhouettes with activewear-inspired fabrics, creating styles that feel comfortable enough for long workdays while looking polished enough for the office.

Find your fit

Two styles. Two ways to wear work.

Choose the Pleated Tailored Trouser if you want a timeless office look. A full-length wide leg, front pleats and functioning belt loops create a polished silhouette, while four-way stretch keeps them comfortable from your morning commute to the end of the day.

Choose the Ready For It Barrel Pant if you prefer a more modern shape. The sculpted barrel leg creates a relaxed silhouette that's easy to dress up or down, while supportive ponte fabric holds its shape wear after wear. Cut from a thick, supportive Ponte fabric that holds its barrel shape from morning to night, it's an easy pull-on with a smooth, structured feel.
