The Best Women's Cropped Pants by Nike to Shop Now

The seasons may change, but joggers and sweatpants are always a good idea — especially when they’re available in a range of lengths. If you want that plush, cozy feeling of a pair of fleece joggers, even in warm weather, opt for a pair of cropped Nike sweats that contain sweat-wicking Nike Dri-FIT material to keep cool and dry.

For a cropped pair of joggers made with sustainable materials, check out Nike Forward sweatpants. This lightweight, cropped style features the latest material innovation from Nike: ultra-thin, needle-punched layers of fabric that require an average of 75 percent less carbon to create than traditional knit fleece.

Or, if you’re looking for something a bit more polished than standard sweats, go for a pair of fleece cropped utility cargo pants. With a cropped hem and roomy fit, these casual pants offer a fresh look while still being ultra-soft, thanks to the brushed fleece material.

The cargo pocket on the side features a snap-button closure for secure storage. (Tip: With an adjustable drawcord, pockets and a comfy fit, these make great travel pants.)

Whether hanging around the house, running errands or stretching into a yoga pose, a pair of Nike cropped leggings is a versatile pick. Nike cropped leggings are designed to hit around the low calf. For slightly longer (but still cropped) leggings, check out ⅞-length leggings. Or, for an even shorter length, go for a pair of Nike capri leggings, which tend to hit just below the knee.

Several key leggings styles from Nike come in a cropped version, including Nike Go, Nike One and Nike Epic Luxe.

Nike Go leggings offer a high-waisted fit, firm support and a locked-in feel, so they won’t budge during vigorous exercise. Nike One cropped leggings, on the other hand, come in a mid-rise fit and feature a smooth, stretchy fabric built for comfort and versatility.

If you’re looking for another style of cropped leggings with a mid-rise fit, sweat-wicking materials and performance features like perforations at the back calf to let cold air in and heat out, check out Nike Epic Luxe.

Mindfully move in cropped women's pants designed for yoga enthusiasts of all levels. The Nike Yoga collection offers ⅞-length joggers made with a super-soft, brushed-fleece fabric. This length is well-suited for a yoga practice, because the cropped length helps athletes avoid stepping on or tripping over excess fabric.

Or for a body-hugging style, wear a pair of Nike Yoga cropped or ⅞-length leggings made with Nike Infinalon fabric. This material — found in silhouettes like the Nike Yoga Dri-FIT Luxe leggings — is non-sheer, ultra-soft and gently compressive. Plus, it passes the squat test, so you don’t have to worry about the leggings becoming see-through as you bend and move.

For strength training or CrossFit-style workouts at the gym, it’s best to find leggings or pants that are durable and flexible enough to stand up to tough workouts. Look for pants with a tailored fit that won’t feel baggy or bulky, plus stretchy materials that support full range of motion.

For example, the cropped Nike Bliss Victory Pants are lightweight and breathable, with sweat-wicking technology to keep dry and cool in sweaty conditions. The mid-rise waist and tapered fit help keep the pants in place all session long. And the mid-calf length helps provide airflow to the legs as the body heats up.

A similar style is the Nike Bliss Luxe Pant, which features Nike Flex fabric in a tapered fit that stretches with the body.
