Cherokee Mid Rise Tapered Leg Drawstring Scrub Pant (Style XNRZ)

In this review of the Cherokee Mid Rise Tapered Leg Drawstring Pant the bottom line is simple: these are practical, comfortable scrub bottoms for clinicians who need stretch, pockets and a professional look during long shifts. The reviewer found the fabric retains its color and shape after repeated washing, and the soft, slightly buttery feel makes them comfortable for active work. The pull-on waistband with drawstring and the tapered leg provide an adjustable, neat fit, so these pants work well for nurses, techs, and other medical professionals who wear scrubs all day.

Key Features

• Durable fabric: The polyester, rayon and spandex twill blend holds color and shape after many washes so the pants look newer longer.
• Two-way stretch: Stretchy material allows easy bending and reaching during busy shifts without feeling restrictive.
• Five-pocket design: Two angled front pockets, a right cargo pocket and two back patch pockets keep essentials and tools accessible and secure.
• Adjustable waistband: The elastic pull-on waist with front drawstring gives a customizable fit that avoids digging in for all-day comfort.
• Tapered leg and fit options: The modern classic tapered leg delivers a professional silhouette and is available in petite, regular and tall inseams to suit different heights.

Who It's For

The Cherokee Mid Rise Tapered Pant is best for healthcare professionals and support staff who spend long hours on their feet and need functional pockets plus a professional look. The two-way stretch and soft fabric make it well suited to roles requiring frequent movement, like nursing, dental tech work and veterinary support.

These pants are not aimed at someone seeking extremely loose or fashion-forward lounge wear; shoppers who want a very slim/no-stretch fashion fit or who prefer non-drawstring structured waists should look elsewhere.
