Business trousers for women who wear the pants!
A woman in trousers used to be a remarkable sight. Thankfully, those days are long gone! Today, long pants offer a comfortable and professional alternative to a dress or a pencil skirt for the office. Whether your pants are part of a full two-piece suit, or you're mixing and matching separates, it's easy to find the right style for you. If you're picking a pair to wear to work, start by looking for a neutral colour. There's nothing wrong with bright, colourful trousers - but they're best saved for the weekends. At work, a classic pair in black, navy or charcoal grey will be easier to pair with just about any other colour.
Women's trousers that fit and flatter
If you're curvy, look for trousers with a slight bootcut style. There's no need to go for an all-out 70s flared look, but a gentle flare is a great way to balance your hips. It's also a good idea to seek out pants with back pockets. You may never use them - but they help to minimise a bigger bum. If you're looking to build the illusion of curves, go for a slim fit, and opt for a higher waist. Add a belt to help create that hourglass figure. On the short side? Be sure to buy your pants from the petite section. Hems that drag on the floor are never a good look! Equally, it's always better to find a pair of petite pants rather than pick up a regular pair and try to shorten them; this way, you can be sure that the knees are sitting in the right place, and you'll stay looking smart rather than sloppy.
How a woman in trousers can rock her look
Office fashion doesn't have to be boring! You can still be stylish in your business trousers. Choose carefully: The hem should hit the right spot, which differs depending on whether you're wearing heels or flats. Don't try to wear the same pair with four-inch heels as with flats - it just won't work. For the office, you'll generally want to keep the bottom half of your body simple and add more detail on top. This is also a sneaky way of balancing out a pear-shaped figure! Go for a colourful blouse and add simple accessories to show off your personality.
