Styling your work pants 

Pants are a fantastic streamlined choice to wear to work, and can be transitioned through your wardrobe irrespective of the season. Alongside being practical, choosing a tailored pair of pants will form the foundation of many outfits. The ability to style with a blazer or coat in winter, or with a blouse and pumps in spring, is essential when choosing a pant to invest in. An easy way to style your work pants for different looks is to change your shoes – do not underestimate the power of a well thought through pair of shoes. Particularly with a cropped pant, having a smart, well-looked after shoe is essential to looking polished at work. Cropped pants look beautiful with a dainty ballet flat, or a pair of pumps – this can be very slimming on the ankle. A relaxed pant can be dressed down with a pair of sneakers for a Friday casual look, or elevated with a stiletto.
