20 Work Pants for Women to Achieve Peak Office Style
Getting dressed for the office can feel monotonous. We've all been there, staring at our closets on a gloomy Wednesday morning trying to figure out something somewhat cute. Honestly, the hardest part about picking out your work wardrobe? The pants.
It's a struggle to find a good pair of work pants. If they are too tight, you risk a day of discomfort. If they are too baggy, you risk being deemed unprofessional. If they are too cropped, your ankles will freeze. If they are too long, they will drag in the puddles and trail murky water amid the cubicles. And that's only a few of the qualms we have with shopping for work pants. So due to this dilemma, we've decided to step in and find you some work pants that are stylish, professional, and comfortable for wearing all day at the office. We've got tailored, slim-fit, flared, pleats, and more—giving you a wide range to choose from. Brands like Zara and Banana Republic are delivering chic options that won't break your bank. If you want to splurge a little bit more, then Alice + Olivia and Theory can help you do just that.
Whichever slacks you select, we are making sure that you are fully fitted for a day of productivity. Below, find our 19 best work pants to be at the top of your game.
