9 Pairs of Non-Boring Work Pants (Under $150) to Add to Your Rotation
A good pair of pants is to our work wardrobe what caffeine is to our productivity: indispensable. And while your classic black trousers will never go out of style, those 40-plus hours a week offer plenty of opportunity to mix things up. Here are nine styles to rock during the nine-to-five (and beyond).

Earth-toned Crops
Consider these the wearable equivalent of leaf piles and pumpkin spice.
Side-Striped Slacks
Classic suiting plus sporty trim equals the coolest pants in the conference room.
O-Ring Culottes
Flattering wide legs get an on-trend upgrade with a little exposed hardware.
Lavender Slim Legs
Spring’s “it” color works just as well in fall and winter—simply pair with darker neutrals like charcoal and navy.
Houndstooth Skinnies
Banana Republic is pretty much work-pants utopia, as far as we’re concerned. This mod pair goes from Wednesday meetings to weekend adventures in a snap.
Berry Wide Legs
When a mega-stylish blogger launches an office-friendly clothing line, we don’t ask questions. (But we do pair these pants with a matching top for a sleek monochromatic look.)
Chriselle Lim Collection ($89)
Checked Culottes
Pair with slingbacks and button-downs now, and turtlenecks and boots later.
Metallic Trousers
OK, we’ll concede that wearing gold pants to work is A Look™, but brocade is trending, and the tailored silhouette keeps these totally profesh.
Two-Tone Tweed
Business in the front and…also business in the back. (But so much more fun than either color on its own.)
