Target’s Viral "Office Sweatpants" Are Back In Stock

These cropped high-rise pull-on pants look just like slacks, but feel like pajamas.

When it comes to clothing, I’ve recently found myself favoring ease of wear over the more elaborate and restrictive pieces of fashion that were on rotation in my twenties.

Lucky for me (and all of us, really), the designing savants at Target have found a way to meet us cozy fit-seekers at the perfect halfway point between comfort and sleek style. I present to you: the office sweatpant.

These trousers-in-disguise appear as a pair of everyday office slacks with an ankle-skimming cropped hemline, a high waist, and straight-legged fit. In reality, they are pull-over pants with an elasticized waist, soft stretch fabric, and the undeniable feel of sweats. And, at $25 a pop, what could possibly deter you?

Made by Target’s house brand A New Day, the pants are actually an updated version of their office sweatpants that previously went viral and sold out, according to a TikTok posted by user Jacquelyn Fricke. This newer style, which comes available in two prints and four solids with pintuck pleats, now has jetted pockets and no drawstring, which means you can tuck in your cute blouse without giving your wardrobe secret away.

Get them for $25 each (made in sizes XS–4X and in black, olive, brown houndstooth, taupe pinstripe, burgundy, and gray herringbone).

Unfortunately (for you and I), we're not the only shoppers who have fallen fast for this modern take on professional wear, and right now the pants are pretty consistently sold out. Reviewers rave about these now-limited supply pants not only for their comfort, but also for all their versatility and styling potential.

Promising reviews: “These pants are SO COMFY!! And they fit so well just make sure to get your actual size as they are very true to size. As a mid-sized girly with a pooch, it’s been hard trying to find affordable cute work pants that aren’t just black and these are amazing!! Go and buy every color right now” —Abby

"Love these pants for business casual. So comfy, like sweatpants but look really put together. I have several colors." —Nixoke

"Many employers are requiring a return to office, at least on a hybrid basis. I had gotten very used to wearing my pajamas and being comfortable at home. I had to get some new work clothes to go back into the office and had been eyeing these for a while. They are stylish but as important, they are still Comfortable. Simple and easy pull-on pants. Definitely about to order more because my size in other colors wasn’t in store today. I would recommend these if you want a professional-looking but comfortable pair of pants." —LJ

Several shoppers on TikTok who saw the pants go viral were curious about how to style them for a professional setting. Fricke had a few ideas.

One of her favorite pairings is wearing a tucked-in and tight-fitting shirt or a thin, close-fitting turtleneck. And, for those more chilly days, she recommends wearing an oversized knit sweater, slightly tucked in the front, or even just a plain T-shirt with an open cardigan layered on top.

Target offers more inclusive sizing options, with pants available in sizes XS–4X. The overall consensus, according to reviews, is that these run a little big, so if you’re in between sizes, it’s best to scale down.
