It’s too hot for denim. Too chilly in my house for shorts. Leggings are out of style. I still have one pair, but I am hardly wearing them. They never looked that good on me anyway. So here’s what I am wearing instead.
Linen pants are a godsend in the summer. They are light and airy, but still a better choice than a minidress or shorts for a chilly home office. This straight leg pair from Banana Republic are awesome. They come in a ton of colors, petite and tall. They also make a wider leg pair that look more like work pants with a tailored cut and a button closure.
These wide leg pants from Athleta are the greatest. Flat front, mid-rise, comfy, with the right top can pass for work pants. If you want something a bit sportier, grab the track stripe version with the contrast piping, which is all the rage right now.
Want a pull on pant, but actually need wool? Sold Out NYC sells out of these pants every time they come up for sale. Get on the waitlist now, because they are the perfect thing for fall.
I hate having to wear “real” work clothes. After five — my Lord, six — six years of intermittently working from home, it’s always a plunge into cold water when I have to start going into the office again. These Boden ponte pants (petite and tall) have saved me. They’re a t-shirt for your legs that looks like a real pant.
Need one without the “real pant” waist band so you can really ride that workout pant energy? Spanx.
