Need new work pants? As a stylist, I’m always on the hunt for great work pants that actually work for different bodies, not just one fit model. I needed a few new pairs myself after losing weight, so this was research and real life. These three from J.Crew are standouts if you want polished, professional pants: • The Essential Wide-Leg Pant
A great silhouette, lightweight, wool but not scratchy and a great fit. If you are looking for a work pant with structure, but also want flowy these are it. • The Kaya Pant
OMG! These are so soft, stretchy, and comfortable. This pant is definitely a winner and it’s the perfect length for me. I am 5’4” for reference. • The Natalia Pant
This is a classic, tailored, pant, and if I am honest, I already own a pair in brown. This is a heavier weight pant with a little stretch. Each pant has different pros and cons depending on your body, size, and how you spend your workday, which is exactly why trying them on matters. If you’re looking for pants that feel professional, flattering, and you actually want to wear them, these are all winners in my book. Confidence starts when your clothes actually fit your body and your life. Save this if you’re building a work wardrobe that works for your body and your career.
