Training trousers for women: the pair that goes from the workout to dinner

Leggings are for the workout. Trousers are for everything around it. The way there, the coffee after, the office, the train, the evening. A good pair of training trousers should be wearable all day without looking as if you forgot to change. That takes three things: a waist that stays, a fabric that holds its shape and a hem you can wear with shoes you actually own. Here are our four, and what sets them apart.

What should training trousers for women have?

A high sculpted waist. It holds you in without pressing and keeps the trousers in place when you sit down, stand up and sit down again. Pockets that hold what you carry, ideally with a zip so nothing falls out. A fabric with four-way stretch that gives in movement and comes back afterwards, instead of sagging at the seat after a day on a chair. And a hem chosen on purpose: a cuff if you want them sporty, a straight cut if you want them dressed.

Which trousers suit which day?

Edge Casual Zip Pants are the pair we build the wardrobe around. The fabric is micro-brushed and unusually soft against the skin, with four-way stretch that holds its shape. The high waist has a removable drawstring on the inside, the pockets on both sides close with gold zips, and the hems are cut straight without a cuff. That last part is the whole point. They go with sneakers in the morning, boots in the afternoon and a heel in the evening. With Edge Casual Zip Sweater, in the same fabric and with zips on the shoulders, it becomes a set that does not look like a training set.

Pink Passion Training Trousers are the soft and sporty pair. High sculpted waist with drawstring, cuffed hems, a fabric that is moisture-repellent and quick-drying. Pink without being sweet. With the Pink Passion Training Jacket it is a set for the session and the walk, with a black top it is the pair that lights up a grey day.

Deluxe Joggers White are the relaxed pair. Tapered towards the cuff, so they do not hang, they sit. Elastic waist with drawstring, gold zips on the pockets and Deluxe embroidery at the hems. White fabric that stays fresh. With the Deluxe Hoodie White it is the weekend set.

Edge Gold Button Pants are the dressed pair, and they are coming soon. A modal blend with a smooth surface and a fine drape, a flat double waist at the front, elastic at the back, side pockets with flaps and a gold button on each side. The hems have a wide elastic on the inside and pleated fabric on the outside instead of an ordinary cuff. They are made for a shirt and a knit as much as for the Edge Gold Button Sweater.

How do you style training trousers for everyday?

Let the trousers be the sporty part and keep the rest calm. Casual Zip Pants with a white shirt and slim shoes is an office look. With a black tank top and the Edge Blazer it is dinner. Pink Passion with black and white sneakers is the walk that looks planned. Deluxe Joggers with the hoodie and a pair of white socks is Sunday.

Which size should you choose?

Casual Zip Pants and Pink Passion: your usual. Deluxe Joggers run small, go up one size. Gold Button Pants come in XS to XL.

How do you wash them?

Inside out and hang to dry applies to all of them. Gold Button Pants are the most delicate: 30 degrees on a gentle cycle, never a tumble dryer.

The trousers belong to Studio and everyday. See also the Edge collection and all leggings.
