20 Best Dickies Pants For Streetwear (2023 Updated)

These Dickies work pants aren’t nearly as good – in any way – as the (discontinued) Carhartt B290 double-knee work pants. The Carhartt’s have thicker fabric, deeper and stronger pockets, a cell-phone pocket that is more secure, a button closure versus that stupid ‘gripper’ on the Dickies, along with a longer zipper – just better in every single way.

But, they’re no longer available. For ten bucks, including shipping, the Dickies can’t be beat. But they are inferior – the price, and availability, is what makes them stand out.

I bought these a few years back after Target stopped carrying Merona. They were the only black pants I could find for my son for his job. He tried them on and refused to wear and I can’t say I blamed him, they were so stiff and uncomfortable.

I washed them ten times to try and get them a little more worn in, never worked. Hate, hate, hate them – they were a complete waste of money. Why would anyone wear these pants? I ended up just donating them to a thrift shop.

Great value. They last a long time and look good as well. I used to buy jeans for work but found the pants wore out and the color faded. I tried these work pants out and found the color lasted a lot longer and the material held up better than the jeans.

Lasting at least twice as long. When you have to buy your own work clothes you want the best value, and these pants certainly fit the bill. A+++.

I recently made a trip to a target shop and really liked the cargo pants i got from there. the brand was dickies and i tried so hard to look for more. unfortunately they ran out in the color of black.

But this one appeared similar to them, although a different name, they were comfortable and great! I bought two pairs and really like them. super flexible, nice looking and hold a lot of stuff. They’re really great at an even greater price.

I bought 3 pairs of the Dickies X Regular series with the cargo pockets. I actually like the Dickies X Slim and tapered, but they might not make those anymore. Either way there super soft, attract lint like crazy but you can’t get around that with this type of fabric.

Also I took mine to get tailored because they were to long and baggy in the legs, but are tight on the butt area. I personally would not wear these without getting them tailored but I like my pants tight around the ankles.

I have been wearing Dickies for over 7 years, and the GenFlex Cargo Utility style scrubs are the only ones that I own. I have nearly every color in these scrubs. They hold up well and last a very long time.

I took off one star because altough they claim to be “stretch”, they really don’t stretch much. Also, the material in the color “ceil” seems more delicate/softer compared to the other colors. I had to replace my pants in ceil because they started to wear out in between the thighs, and were beginning to rip! Ceil is by far my fav color and most comfortable in terms in fabric.

The last reason why I took off one star was because of the extremely wide legs on the pants! I love jogger/skinny leg style on my pants because they don’t touch the floor when using the bathroom and also because they look neater in appearance.

So, I had to cut out the extra fabric and tapered my legs using a sewing machine for all of my pants. This was a hassle indeed and took several days to complete. But I’m happy with the end result. I also love the multiple pockets and compartments, which no other brand of scrubs has.

Hope this was helpful!.

As a lady and an interior painter, I’ve tried a lot of painter’s pants and Dickie’s painter’s pants are the best and are reasonably priced. Men’s pants work best for me as there is no coin slot when bending over.

: | But I’m also older and need a lighter, more giving fabric which I can only get in scrubs. I’ve tried a few different scrubs, too. Painting baseboards all day is mighty uncomfortable even in the lightest, most stretchy pants.

Squat, stand, kneel, crawl, rinse, repeat. It’s downright torture in heavy, coarse fabric. These scrubs are really the best I’ve tried and will be my staple from now on. They are loose (I’m 5’6″ 145 lbs and order a medium tall in Men’s), light and easy on the body when bending and squatting.

They’re cooler in the summer when you’re rolling a lot of paint. The only downside is the white fabric is pretty sheer so I have to be careful about my choice of undergarments but that’s not a deal-breaker for me.

Thanks, Dickie’s for making really good work clothes affordable!!.

Felt like they ran a little on the big side, which is not a big deal! I love my scrubs to fit a little loose. I love how they have those two deep pockets on each leg, and a back right pocket with a Velcro closure.

You know, for REAL nurses who do REAL work, tight fitting scrubs, are a nuisance! So these fit perfect! But these are the only type of scrubs I’ve purchased and used for the past 9 years!! I pray they NEVER DISCONTINUE THEM!.

Unfortunately, I am less than satisfied. The relaxed fit carpenter jeans sent to me were of low quality. One pocket opening/pocket is larger than the other, one leg is shorter than the other, and the denim is very light weight.

No where near the quality of Dickies jeans I purchase in a store but yet the same price. I will never order anything from Dickies online again & may never buy another Dickies product period. Currently that is the only brand of jeans and zip up hoodies I wear.

I am EXTREMELY disappointed! The online buying experience, however, was satisfying, effortless, & my jeans were promptly delivered. If not for that, the satisfaction rating would be a 1 or 0.

Long time Dickies customer. They always had decent quality but reasonable price. But then three pairs ago, I had a front pocket wear out. I stitched the hole, but it got too weak to stitch again and grew quite large so that I couldn’t use the pocket.

It’s not like I stored something sharp like my keys in there – just my cell phone. I figured it was a one-off until my next pair did the same thing. My most recent pair hasn’t worn out yet but the front pockets are noticeably shallower than previous pairs.

My cell phone is less than 6″ tall and the top of it barely fits in the pocket. Very disappointing.

Been wearing this specific style in various colors as a work pant for 7 years. Formal enough for office work in khaki color, yet durable enough for the field. Navy blue works for my department now, and it’s the only pair of pants I’ve ever been complimented in (like multiple times).

The pocket is sturdier than other Dickies cargo designs, most of which I’ve managed to catch and tear. Solid sewing on belt loops, I clip equipment to them and they’ve never failed (denim on the other hand has).

Zippers have never failed or gotten stuck. Don’t know what else to say, good quality pants that have only ever had to be retired once (chemical spill), all others are still functioning.

My co-worker buys these and I thought I would give them a try. My measurements are 38X34, the first thing I noticed is that they were tight around the waste. It could be I am changing or the pants that I normally wear are a bit larger around the middle, not really sure and did not check the measurements.

Second thing I noticed was that the pant legs were longer than what I usually wear. I measured them and they were indeed 34″, compared to my other pants which were labeled 34″ length but I find after measuring were 32″ (OH GEEZ!!!) been buying this size for “Years”!! No big deal my wife can hem them up.

Pockets seem to be pretty shallow compared to my older pants. I do carry a lot of work stuff in my pockets, flashlight, razor knife, pens, etc. I would like to see deeper pockets. I usually wear a belt that is 1.

5″ wide and the belt loops on these pants are only 1. 25″. Also the type of belt I wear (web style) will only go through the loop once so the tongue of the belt cannot go through a loop twice. I looked through the description and did not see a reference to belt widths mentioned.

Some minor inconveniences I should be able to rectify on the next purchase.

I prefer to wear natural cottton fabric pants due to skin irritation issues. However, nowadays most pants are treated with a non-iron coating and if you want durability you have to opt for a cotton/polyester blend.

All those factors make finding a basic cotton pant to wear very difficult in my price range. My last pair of casual every day pants wore out in 5 months with various tears. All those factors led me to buy these Double knee Utility Pants.

I had known about the Dickies brand for years as being strictly workwear, so I assume that they must have durable clothing. After wearing these pants for a few weeks I see that they are also very comfortable and look great.

They pair well with various polo shirts and button downs. I love that they are 100 percent pure untreated cotton, because they get softer and more comfortable with each wash. I do not mind the wrinkles as I steam them away with a device.

The only negatives I see in these pants which prevent me rating it 5 stars is the thin and flimsy waistband and low quality zipper. I am aware that they shrink, so I purchased a size larger as many here have recommended.

Other than that, these are a great pair of natural cotton pants which I hope will last me a long time.

I have been painting for 20+years and have always used Dickies for my uniform. I am happy with there overall quality but it seems like every year or so the same style of pants will change how they fit.

The majority of the time I have to buy a size up from my usual to account for shrinkage. I received my usual size I always get and washed them to shrink them. Once I tried them on out of the dryer the were still a size to big in waist on length.

It’s a battle with Dickies to figure out how the same pants will fit next time I out purchase them. Now I have a pair of painters pants that I cannot wear. I’m nervous to order another pair with alternate size because they may once again not fit correctly.

Got these for my son. It was hard to pinpoint on the right size cause they run small. Once we got the size we made sure to get every color because my son was satisfied with them. He stated they’re very comfortable and perfect for skating.

Overall his new go to. “Review Sweepstakes”.

From my experience most cargo pants now are joggers. So I had struggled to find a good looking pair of cargos that were loose, but still stylish. These pants are so comfortable, but also have a good look to them.

Definitely recommend if you are looking to buy some cargos.

I got these pants for my daughter. She wears a uniform to school, black pants are an option. She is VERYYYYYY picky when it comes to pants and we have such a hard time finding any she likes. She ABSOLUTELY LOVES these pants.

So much in fact, we just got a second pair.

i’m a smaller 20 year old girl and i love these pants! i bought them for work purposes but they are so simple/cute/comfortable for everyday outfits. for reference i’m 5 ft tall and 90 lbs and got the boy’s size 14S.

they are a little long so i cuff them but they fit like a glove elsewhere. they have waist adjusters but i don’t need to use em. i really like the straight leg fit and reinforced knee! if i sized up they would probably be slightly too baggy for my liking.

LOVE the affordability!.

Dickies pants really are good quality uniform pants. They will last an entire school year with weekly washing! The only reason why I gave it “4” Stars is because they are so stiff, they feel like they’ve been “starched”! I solely bought Dickies for my son’s kindergarten year but decided to try two other “softer” name brands this school year.

Well, I replaced his pants twice because they got holes in the knees so I just decided this third time around to buy the Dickies’ brand. Not only will these last for the rest of the school year, they’ll carry over to the next school year if my son can still fit them (and I did just order four more pairs since they hava a current sale of ‘buy one, get one free’)! I also like that you don’t need a belt with these pants because they come with an inside adjustable strap, and they also come with a hook for closure which especially makes it easier for little fingers that struggle with fine motor skills!.

I have been a customer for 2 years. These are durable pants that hold up for active young boys especially my 10 year son. These pants come wrinkle free straight out the dryer and hold the crease very well.

The color is long lasting through every wash cycle. I love these pants and will continue to purchase until my son finishes school. I get sad when he outgrows them because they do not need to tossed out they are still in great condition.

I may donate to his school uniform thrift store.

Decided to go for a more expensive pair of trousers this time to replace my current ‘Site’ brand that had started wearing thin at the knees. Very pleased with the quality of material, number of pockets and flaps, some have velcro and others poppers.

Correct length leg, but needed a belt as I went for 32″ waist figuring 30″ would be too tight. Would definitely buy these again.

Great work trousers. Warm, well made, loads of pockets. I’m a gardener and work in all weathers and these see some abuse but have stood the test admirably. They’re as good as some of the other names brands that cost twice the price.

Recommended.

Great work trousers, great fit and comfortable with room in all the right places. A good range of pockets for various tools. Ordered online for collect in store, same day collection was confirmed within a few minutes.

The team in store were helpful and I had my order in my hands less than 30 minutes after searching for these online. Excellent service and great price.

I think there has been a slight material change since my last pair, but they are extra tough now. And comfy as always. My first pair of dickies are 3 years old now and still going strong unlike some of these other trouser companies.

Best skater trousers out there by far.

Fits perfect. Good quality. Great work pants

Superb quality of the pant. Very comfortable too wear it. the size fits perfectly

I have been buying this specific pant for many years. The first time I saw them on an aircraft mechanic, I had to get a pair of my own. The zip enclosure cargo pockets are deep and very useful. There is a smaller pocket outside of the left cargo which can hold small items such as a flashlight, but if not snug or secured with a clip they can slip out.

I do miss the little pocket on the inside of the right cargo that I used frequently. The most recent pair of these I bought did not have it and I hope they bring it back. They are very stylish and comfortable.

I like the relaxed fit because I have a thicker legs despite a smaller waist so they work out great and a little more room in the seat helps. The front pockets are double thick so you will never have to worry about wearing a hole in them, I never have.

I always buy these from the Dickies. com website because I can never find them in stores. The only Dickies cargo’s I’ve found have the Velcro closure and the zipped is nicer and more secure in my opinion.

I ride a motorcycle and everything I put in the cargos for everyday use stays in without being zipped up (wallet, cell phone), but if I need to stuff them with other items I can just zip them up so nothing can fall out.

I wear these for work and also as casual wear. Sometimes you can get these on sale, but the 36. 99 you pay is money well worth invested. Overall these are some of the best work pants you will buy and they will perform well for you every time.

Try this style out for yourself, you will be happy you did.

I’ve had 5 pairs of these pants (different colors) for almost two years. The are regularly subjected to dirt, grease, cutting oil and most automotive fluids. They continue to wash out clean and the colors are still reasonably bright.

I do have other Dickie’s pants that I use when my main 5 are dirty. I don’t prefer those because the jeans don’t have side pockets and are too thick. The others have elastic waist liners, which don’t work well with my belt and the one slit pocket they do have is not secure enough to put anything valuable into.

The 5 main pants that I have do contain side pockets with hidden zippers. This is an awesome feature as it allows me to keep my wallet and phone with me at all times, but I don’t have to worry about sitting on them because they are secured on the sides.

The metal tack button is also much better than a sewed on plastic ones you get with other pants. You don’t have to worry about it busting and loosing your pants.

I work full-time in EMS. I needed new work pants but I didn’t want to spend $50+/ea on new 5. 11 pants. I decided to try these pants out and have been very happy with them! They wear well, look professional, and are comfortable in a variety of positions.

The only drawback is that there is no secure way to hold pens or other accessories like traditional EMS pants. That was easily fixed with some thread, a needle, and a few minutes to alter the open accessory slot on the left leg! I will continue to buy these pants as a less expensive alternative to the outstanding but expensive 5.

11 EMS or Tactical Pant that I usually wear. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a less expensive alternative or spare pant.

These work pants are comfortable, fits as expected, is light-weight, durable & has a decent stretch in both the waistband & gusseted crotch area. The pants also look nice enough to wear for office work as well as manual work.

The zipper fly could’ve been better if it could unzip lower, but it’s not a deal breaker. The multi-use pocket is handy for tools or a smart phone. It has a hidden snap button to close up. This is only good for securing items if your item(s) fit completely inside that pocket & not having any ends sticking up or out.

All in all, a good buy as well if you can get it at a discount.

I bought these about a month ago to use as work pants in the hotel maintenance industry (always on my knees and walking) and there holing up pretty well! I bought my last pair of relaxed fit pants from tsc store a year ago and there still holding up (not even industrial).

Also a plus if you buy unhemmed version of your pants (essentially getting more material) it’s a lot cheaper, most places don’t charge that much to hemm pants!! One thing I would like to add that I saw another commenter comment on is that the elasticity in the pants aren’t that strong.

I wear a belt at work so it doesn’t bother me too much but sometimes there’s some material that sticks up at the sides where the elastic are that I have to adjust and push back down to the belt line.

Could possibly be because I have to tuck in my shirt at work. But overall, great pants, great price, great material!.

I recently landed a new job that requires ‘strong’ black professional-looking pants, after wearing a suit for the past 10 years. Since Dickies is a well-known brand, I figured i’d buy one pair and see how they felt.

Being a mostly polyester pant, they felt pretty good when I put them on for the first time. I’m sure after a few washes they’ll soften up slightly more. I was afraid they’d feel like wearing cardboard pants, but they feel almost as good as my favorite jeans.

A huge plus is the crotch gusset that these pants have. It makes the pant even more comfortable when squatting and moving around. The waist size I ordered feels slightly tighter than my other pants of the same size (wool suit pants and jeans) but not tight enough to warrant moving up to the next inch.

This pant is a great value at its price, and i’m so happy with them I ordered two more of the same exact style. The extra leg pocket (on the side of the leg) is a great touch, perfect for holding a pocket knife or pen-style flashlight (pocket is 6″ deep with snap closure).

I’m not sure you want this review for public consumption. I bought several pair of the same pant about 15 years ago and have worn them almost daily since. They are finally wearing out so I bought these new ones as replacements.

This review, then is a comparison old to new. You have made a number of changes — some good, some ok, and some bad. You have lowered the fifth pocket on the leg — good but you have deleted the snap — not good.

You have switched from a jeans type button closure to a steel hook and loop — bad. You have switched to tunnel belt loops — good — but they will no longer accept a 1 5/8 wide belt — bad. You have kept the very robust material for the pockets — great — but the old design had a horizontal bottom seam — the new ones taper downward to a point — VERY bad.

Use in the yard and field results in twigs, leaves, dirt, etc into the pockets –now all that collects in the point — hard to get rid of and will accelerate the pocked tip wear. The fabric of the pant is not as comfortable as the old ones – not good.

The construction of the crotch seam has been changed (used to have gussets) which changes the fit somewhat — not good. Still an excellent pant — but not nearly as good as the old ones.

I have been wearing these pants for work and for everyday wear for many years but you have evidently discontinued this model. Bring them back, please. I want to purchase more. Good mix of the wide belt loops of the 874 and the cell phone/multi-use pocket.

They are perfect – look nice, functional, and comfortable.

As per usual, the sizing is way off, as with ALL dickies. Dickies sizing varies from style to style, and even from color to color. So don’t be surprised if a size 32 in black are way bigger than the size 32 in navy.

The 67 is really not worth the price up-charge, as I can’t see any major differences from these to the regular old slim fits. Aside from the top button closure, and faster break-in period, there really isn’t anything more premium about these pants.

In fact, they actually seem thinner, and ill fitted through the seat. Ignore the reviews stating these are game changing skater dude pants. they’re just average at best. Also, one of the belt loops came defective.

Always good to have the ‘flex’ in the pants. I’m 6’1 155lbs with a slim build. I typically wear a 30 waist in most pants (levis, j. crew) but I went up one inch in waist to sz 31 (other reviewers suggested this, thanks other reviewers) Waist fits great, just enough spare room.

Sometimes dickies true to size can be a little squeezy. Have a straight leg fit, roomy, but not overly baggy. I was looking for a looser fit for summer and room to breathe. Also a lightweight material with that sort of rigid sturdy feel that all Dickies have.

32 length is just right for tall guy, and they look cool cuffed once, or even twice for that summer ankle breeze. Oh yeah, I have the mushroom color. It’s rich, and darker than khaki, goes well with lots of darker rich colors.

These are prob my very favorite dickies to date, but every time I take a stab at ordering these there is serious quality control issues with the sizing every single time, to the extent that Ive finally given up on trying my hand at ordering a new batch.

out of 10+ pairs that ive ordered over the years, Ive literally kept one pair. the rest had to all go back due to being extremely smaller than the marked size. This is a shame since the expense to ship back is not cheap, and i would keep every pair I order each time if it werent for the poor sizing in the waist.

These have an excellent tailored fit, the weight of the fabric is also preferable over the slim fit work pants, and I appreciate the taper in the leg the most on this model. but the waist sizing is just terribly unreliable, and Im tired of paying tons of money to ship back pants that are incorrectly sized.

I dont know if Dickies sources their work out to different countries now rather than making everything in house in the US like they used to, but there is definite sizing issues, and its not just limited to this model.

Long time dickies supporter, and never will stop wearing my trusted dickies — but DICKIES!! PLEASE!! DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR QUALITY CONTROL!! PLEASE!!!.
