There are few joys greater than discovering the ideal pair of trousers, especially when they can seamlessly transition from the gym to the office. Though it might seem like an impossible feat, we assure you they exist, and they are absolutely fabulous.
While browsing for some wardrobe refreshers at Nordstrom, we came across a pair of pants that seemed made for our readers: Sweaty Betty’s Explorer pants. These cropped, tapered trousers are set to replace your favorite office sweatpants and become an essential piece in your wardrobe.
They strike the perfect balance between comfortable joggers and stylish trousers, making them ideal for any occasion, whether you're lounging at home, out for a night, or traveling.
Reviewers can’t stop gushing over these all-purpose pants, praising their versatility, sleek look, and how easy they are to maintain. (Several customers noted how water and stains simply slide off.)
Available in black and navy blue with inseam lengths of 25″ and 27″, and sizes ranging from XXS–XXL, these pants come with two front slant pockets to store small essentials.
Due to high demand, make sure to check both retailers for your preferred size. Overall, these pants have received a 4.5-star rating on Sweaty Betty’s site and 4.4 stars on Nordstrom.
The Explorer pants are made from a stretchy, lightweight fabric that resists creasing and features a tapered leg that is as chic as they come. They’re easy to throw on and pair perfectly with everything from a cozy chunky sweater to a button-up blouse or even a casual tank. The elastic waistband guarantees all-day comfort without digging into your sides.

Customer Reviews Worth Mentioning:
From Nordstrom:
“Must have! These pants are so stylish! So comfortable! And versatile! You can wear them for a walk, a chill day, or even dress them up for a night out! I’m thrilled with my purchase! I was unsure about sizing. I ordered XXS, and they fit perfectly! I’m 5’3” and weigh 115!” —Lc34
“Incredible. I don’t typically leave reviews, but these pants definitely deserve a glowing one. I bought them for those days when I want to hit the gym before heading into the office with no time or place to change. They’re sharp enough for office wear, yet super comfy, great for working out, and also perfect for travel. For reference — I’m between US sizes 6 and 8, and I tried both Small and Medium. The Small was just right.” —Waggsie
From Sweaty Betty:
“I bought the Explorer trousers for casual wear. The fabric is amazing, so comfy, and definitely offers a smart-casual look. I’m a size 8 and usually buy XS in Sweaty Betty Power leggings, but opted for size S in these trousers for a looser fit, and they’re perfect with the tie waist. I love them and plan to order in navy too. Highly recommend.” —Calaine
“I got these for a long-haul flight. Comfortable and stretchy. A passenger spilled a drink on me, and it dried almost instantly. I would highly recommend.” —KK26
“Simply the best everyday trousers. My absolute favorites. So comfortable and light, a great fit, and they wash and dry wonderfully. Love them.” –RosieJ
