Zella was born out of the Athleisure Boom, designed to bring the best of athletic tech into the fashion world. The result: clothes that are sturdy enough to break a sweat in but also look like a million bucks. For those unfamiliar, Z by Zella — exclusive to Nordstrom Rack — is an extension of the Nordstrom Made brand Zella, available only at Nordstrom. The Z by Zella label is behind this pair of functional trousers that seem office-only but can handle the rigors of the most demanding daily commute. Available in four different colors, the Urban Tech Performance Pant has trouser looks, with front slant pockets, a slim silhouette and button closure. But they’re constructed of techy, machine-washable material that’s water-resistant and can stand up to light squalls too. We’re not saying you should definitely go right to the gym after work in these, but if you did, this pant from Z By Zella sure wouldn’t get in your way.
Price: $34 – $45
