Women’s 874® Work Pants
The verdict
Fit
Straight leg, flat front, generally true-to-size with a bit of room through the seat and thigh typical of a classic work cut; not tailored or slim.
Quality
This is Dickies' longest-running, most tested silhouette, and the twill construction has a strong reputation for holding up to repeated wear compared with its more fashion-forward lines.
Price check
Under $30 this is genuinely budget-tier for a pant with decades of reputation behind it, making it one of the better value picks in the lineup.
Best for
Someone who wants a reliable, no-frills work pant refined over decades rather than a trend piece.
Care
Machine wash warm; expect the twill to soften slightly with repeated washing.

What owners report about Dickies pants
Long-term owners describe Dickies pants' poly-cotton twill as tough — it 'resists abrasion, sheds light dirt, and holds its shape' — but note durability is uneven across the garment: 'the fabric often outlasts the small components,' with 'pocket corners, pocket edges, and closures (zippers/buttons)' failing before the main cloth, plus inner-thigh abrasion and knee wear in high-movement jobs. A separate hands-on review of the workwear line praised the build quality directly, calling out 'top-notch feel' materials and pocket construction, with a reinforced hem noted as 'a nice touch' where shoes cause added wear.
- Strengths
- Reviewers agree the core twill fabric itself is tough and abrasion-resistant, holding its shape wash after wash.
- Watch out for
- The recurring failure point isn't the fabric but the hardware and stress points — pocket corners, seams, and zipper or button closures tend to go before the cloth does.
- Sizing
- Fit varies by cut within the line — reviewers say the waist should sit secure without pulling at the button when seated and the thighs should allow a full squat without tightness, with roomier fits feeling bulkier and slimmer fits offering less give.
