Nike Sportswear Phoenix Fleece

These Nike Lifestyle sweats take athleisure to a whole new level, combining comfort with style for a pant that can really be worn anywhere you need to go. They’re made with a super soft, pretty heavyweight fabric that feels warm and toasty, and like they’re going to wash and wear well. I usually run cold, so I’m especially excited to have these pants for the upcoming chillier seasons. From a style standpoint, these rock! They have a sleek, flattering straight leg, with a split cuff that puts a bit of flair into the pant, and allows a cute shoe to pop forth. There’s a discrete Nike swoosh logo on one leg, which I appreciate both for its placement and size. The pants seem to run a little big, but that could also be because I erred on the side of roomy and ordered a large, which is a bit big on my 5’4” frame. That said, they are still flattering and I will enjoy wearing them! Because of their weight, these probably wouldn’t be pants that I’d wear to the gym as they’d get hot fast. But they will be excellent to wear around town, while running errands, and for comfy evenings at home when I still want to look cute. In all, these pants are really great- very comfortable, and stylish, which can be a unicorn of a combo to find. Well done, Nike- these pants are taking my sweats game to a new level for sure.

I recently tried the Nike Sportswear Phoenix Fleece Women’s High-Waisted Pants, and overall, they were a mix of hits and misses. Fit & Feel: The high-waisted fit is very flattering and sits comfortably around the waist without feeling too tight. They feel cozy and relaxed, but the length was definitely an issue—at my height, they were far too long, which made them bunch up at the bottom. Design: The design is sleek and versatile, easy to pair with hoodies, tees, or even a fitted jacket. I love how the wide leg gives them a modern look while still being casual. Fabric: The fleece fabric is soft, warm, and feels high quality. It has just the right weight for lounging or casual outings, without being overly heavy. What I Liked Most: I really liked how comfortable they were at the waist and how soft the fleece felt. The design is stylish and perfect for a relaxed, streetwear vibe. What I’d Change: The length. Unless you’re tall, they run very long and can be a bit impractical without hemming. A shorter inseam option would make them much more wearable.

I find Nike’s clothing very comfortable. As a mom of tween twin boys, my schedule is hectic and I am always on the go. I prioritize comfort and versatility when it comes to my wardrobe. In my opinion, Nike flawlessly combines comfort with style. These sportswear pants have a soft fleece and thick, quality fabric. I especially like the high waist, but could take or leave the slit at the ankle. Unfortunately, the fit disappoints me. For me, Nike tends to run small, but these pants feel too roomy. The length is also a major issue. The pants are way too long and cover my feet even without shoes. I don’t even think a size down would fix the length. Overall, they have great potential for a specific body type but probably aren’t ideal for shorter people. Let me emphasize that they are incredibly comfortable. My rating is based primarily on fit. Aside from needing to size down, the length just doesn’t work for me. I am left slightly disappointed because I really love the style, comfort, and quality.
