        Athleisurewear is no longer just a weekend category. It’s everywhere — and brands know it. And they’re increasingly stepping up options, styles, and value to get your attention and prove to you that theirs is the best of the best.

        One such push is really wonderful: Combining the efficiencies and technologies of athleisure with the style and elegance of office attire. And so you have a sea of options that let you elevate your clothes to high-function and maintain your favorite style for a day at the office or an important dinner. Comfortable, durable, breathable, sweat-wicking, quick-drying—these are just some of the features we’re seeing in more and more office-worthy apparel.

        And when it comes to pants, we’re excited for warmer months and more active days but also wary of the sweat and discomfort those could entail. So we put together some great options for you to keep in mind about the pants best fit for your work, your style, and the fire within you.

        Men’s EZY Dry-Ex Ultra Stretch Ankle Length Pants

        These pants use Uniqlo’s DRY-EX material, which quickly dries sweat and moisture. The waist has snap buttons and elastic on the inside so you can move and groove without worrying about restrictive waistbands.

        Buy at Uniqlo$40

        All Day Every Day Pant

        The name of these pants ain’t lying. They’re the perfect in between for when you want to wear sweatpants but have to wear slacks or need something nice but don’t want to do denim. They’re made from a breathable, moisture-wicking blend of spandex and nylon.

        Buy at Public Rec$98

        Meta Pant

        Made entirely out of polyester, these moisture wicking pants can handle anything and everything you throw at them. They offer UPF protection, but look like chinos — you’d never know the difference.

        Buy at Vuori$98

        The Performance Chino

        You get sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and 4-way stretching pants with Everlane’s chino style.

        Buy at Everlane$68

        ABC Pant Classic

        These are inspired by five-pocket jeans but include improvements like a zippered back pocket and reflective inner cuffs for a noticeable flip, not to mention sweat-wicking fabric that stretches four ways — they also come in nearly a dozen colors.

        Buy at Lululemon$128

        Prana’s Brion Pant

        With proprietary stretch fabric and five-pocket construction, you’re also getting mesh pockets and the water-repelling and quick-drying fabric you’re here for. Save on prAna with discounts from our coupon page.

        Buy at prAna$79

        The Traveler Pant

        Crafted in a stretch twill weave, these pants move with you wherever you’re going. They are incredibly soft, and well fitted to the legs so no schlumpy-ness can occur.

        Buy at Faherty$148

        No Sweat Pant Slim

        A slim fit style is equipped with stretch and durability, maintaining the traditional look of pants — and a notable eight color options.

        Buy at DUER$129

        Commuter Pants

        Constructed with Japanese stretch fabric, these pants (which were apparently years in the making) include a specific media pocket and notable details like an articulated knee structure to enhance mobility.

        Buy at Rhone$128

        Flowknit Ultra-Soft Performance Pant

        There’s just something magical about a pair of pants that feel like sweats but don’t look like them: you can wear them all day and not feel underdressed or schlubby, but you’re still getting all of the comfort. The Flowknit Performance Pants nail this. They are made with a polyester and spandex blend so there is a nice stretch involved that doesn’t limit motion whatsoever. The blend also gives the pants a shape, so they’re definitely a step above cotton sweats, and the polyester makes them lightweight and breathable—a perfect addition just in time for summer.

        Shop at Quince$

        Whatever specific pant you choose to get for your commute or to elevate your the regular to athleisure, know that you’ve got options to find the one that best fits your style and needs.
