Is your office wardrobe looking a little drab? One of the most neglected aspects of a working woman’s wardrobe is the need for stylish bottoms. Think about it — most of the time, you’re sitting at your desk, so why bother with more than a nice top?
What we don’t think about as often is how style means more than just how you look. People who feel their best will perform their best, so never be afraid to indulge in a few working wardrobe staples.
Below, we will outline some of our favorite stylish bottom styles to complete your working wardrobe.
Released Hem Capris
Lovers of relaxed-fit comfort will flock to released hem pants. Comfortably cut, they pair wonderfully with complimenting colors in blouses and shoes, helping you look gorgeous and professional but not overdressed. They even look great with blazers and cardigans if your office tends to be a little chilly.
Ankle Pants
Have you checked out pull-on ankle pants? This stylish bottom choice pairs well with a muted top and flats to create a subdued and approachable look.
Frilled Hems
Frilled hems are fun and flirty without sacrificing professional appeal. They graze the calf, falling at the perfect length to pair with cardigans, blouses, or tanks without looking mismatched. You can pair them with flat sneakers or high-heeled dress shoes. They are a perfect, versatile option in stylish bottoms.
Wide-Legged Comfort
Stripes have long been a staple of professional appeal. Try wide-legged striped pants for a stylish bottom choice for the office that screams “woman in charge,” from the moment you walk through the door. If you’re feeling extra daring, pair them with a colorful blouse for added appeal.
Jeggings and Leggings
Jeggings and leggings are great for pairing with your favorite flowing dress blouses to create a look that is professional and fun. You might want to try stretch jersey leggings not only for the office but for weekend lounging or a trip to the gym, too. They’re the perfect stylish bottom choice no matter where you are.
Bold and Flowy
Blend comfort and style with a flowy, wide-legged look. This bold office expression is one of the hottest trends in stylish bottoms. These pants pair well with lightweight blouses or sweaters and comfortable, flat shoes, meaning you can look amazing and feel relaxed at the same time.
Casual Fridays
If there’s one fashion truth that has held up through the ages, it’s that denim will never go out of style. Soft-touch jeans will make casual Fridays at the office comfortable without sacrificing your professional appeal. Even better, jeans are perfect for hitting the town after work—you can skip going home to change.
