Mama Needs a New Pair of Pants...

While men are usually known for wearing the pants in the work force, we’re happy to bring you an option for the ladies. Sometimes it’s hard to find work-appropriate bottoms that still keep you looking on trend, but now that’s all changed! In fact, not only can you wear these picks to look professional, but they transition into casual wear as well. Who said you couldn’t wear pants and look polished?

© Vince, Juicy Couture, Marc JacobsThe Tab Front Skinny Pants by Vince are reminiscent of our school days, with an updated and modern twist. Leave it to Vince to create a simple khaki trouser made out of a soft cotton and diverse style. We would pair this with a button down blouse and fitted blazer for the work-force, or a burn out v-neck and strappy sandals for a casual Miami day.

Next, we give you a cropped version of this trend. Bird by Juicy Couture brings us the Fiji Wool Slim Trousers, available in a crisp white or dark grey. For this time of year, we prefer the grey and would love to see it with a loose, silk blouse with a boyfriend cardigan. The pleating at the top keep this look fresh, while the cropped, skinny style show individual flair.

Our last pick is right on-trend with 70's-style revival; the High Waisted Wide Leg Pants from Marc Jacobs are the epitome of this so-old-its-new-again silhoutte. Versatile in classic black, wear them with anything from a simple tank to a crisp oxford for a timeless look that exudes sophistication. Be sure to remember that a flowing wide leg style requires a high-heeled shoe; try on a few different styles from your closet to find the pair that's the perfect height.

Are you willing to try out trousers in the workplace? It’s time for a new alternative to skirts, dresses, and denim – what’s your take on the new trouser?
