Last year I bought Eileen Fisher silk pants, not inexpensive, but Neiman Marcus has some on sale right now ( not sure if they ship free or reasonably to AK). I did notice BR has some cute pants in new arrivals, but haven't tried them yet. GAP pants are not fitting me well this year, but they seem a bit too casual for all but jeans Fridays, for me anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504766 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 23:46:31 +0000 Brooklyn 1504766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any specific retail suggestions but last summer (it's winter here) I was enjoying wearing wide leg (or flared) black lightweight pants with sleeveless tunic top over that has really long side slits (either on one or both sides). The slits kind of expose the pockets of the pants (if they have them) so it looks quite relaxed, as well as being work appropriate and well ventilated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504756 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 23:31:17 +0000 catgirl 1504756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Daria, those look great! What do you do with the tie? That always annoys me because I don't tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504663 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 20:09:15 +0000 Daria 1504663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My DKNY slouchy pants are very very light. Perfect for summer if you can live with the JFE factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504658 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:58:33 +0000 catgirl 1504658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow thanks! I forgot about COS and they have good shipping! Also ordered those drapy BR pants - rewards and a discount code. I love you people! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504653 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:51:15 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1504653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about the flowy printed pants that are everywhere this summer? Kinda boho lite but with a more structured top I think they would be fine for the office. I'm on my phone now but will try to find some Finds later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504650 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:49:02 +0000 approprio 1504650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen some lovely looking tailored trews in Cos. Here are a couple and there's <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cosstores.com/us/Women/Trousers">plenty more where they came from</a>. No idea what their shipping policy in the US is like though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504589 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 17:25:20 +0000 rachylou 1504589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy that's tough... Right. No help, I know... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504587 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 17:22:42 +0000 Peri 1504587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My huge search was for as cool as possible, so that won't help you much. I ordered just about everything I found and it was actually a good experience. I'm sure you will find something great!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504584 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 17:18:54 +0000 Anonymous 1504584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been happily wearing the side-zip ankle pants I bought at J Jill, though they aren't ankle pants on me (on purpose) because I bought the regular misses size to accommodate my long rise. That was a smart move on my part, as I dislike ankle pants on my short self. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504576 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 16:53:32 +0000 Thistle 1504576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought a pair of drapey culottes - sooo comfy, they feel summery, and I love the fun drape. I wear ankle strap sandals to lengthen the leg line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504552 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 15:58:21 +0000 carambola 1504552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these drapey pants from BR. They are poly, but thin enough to feel breezy without being sheer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504537 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 15:45:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1504537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second texstyle. The Loft pants this year are really attractive to me. I bought a pair of the relaxed twill pants, in off-white. And really liked this pull-on style, too. The latter looks a little dressier, for work.</p> <p>I like the looks of the third pair I'm posting here, too, though I didn't look at them IRL.</p> <p>Oops, I just saw your response to texstyle. That's a bummer!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504535 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 15:44:48 +0000 catgirl 1504535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Annabelle, those are fab but sadly not work appropriate.&nbsp; The BR Sloan patterned pants work for me nicely, but they are also in the "skinny" category.</p> <p>Texstyle, those are great if only AT would ship to AK for a reasonable fee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504527 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 15:35:52 +0000 texstyle 1504527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried those Gap joggers and they ran really large a size down and I still had to return them. Just FYI. What about a light patterned pant for summer ? Loft has some I know. Diana got the one pair black and white pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504525 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 15:30:34 +0000 annabelle 1504525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm lemming these modified harem pants that someone was lovely enough to leave for me in finds. Or these loose cut pants.</p> <p>You'd have to be creative to pull from your wardrobe for the wide pants; I ended up returning an awesome pair of jeans (the Rag &amp; Bone below) because at the time I couldn't make the intellectual investment to style them differently than when I pull a pair of typical cut jeans from the stack.</p> <p>The cropped pants, I think we could wear with a boxy top (or two) and a chunky sandal with a lot of leather or a little more strappy. </p> <p>I also am considering an exceedingly oversized pair of boyfriend cut jeans for the coolness temperature factor, but those would be weekend wear for you. </p> <p>I'll be watching this thread and your results. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-work-pant-suggestions#post-1504515 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 15:18:59 +0000 catgirl 1504515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm finding a wardrobe hole - non-skinny comfortable work-appropriate summer pants.&nbsp; My staple during the winter was tunic, ponte skinnies and boots.&nbsp; But there's only so much joy or use&nbsp;I can get out of those same skinnies with ankle boots or other non-boot shoes.&nbsp; It's cool enough in summer that I don't need linen or other summery materials, but I would like to find some options to make getting dressed less boring and not just "winter lite".</p> <p>Any ideas - maybe from warm weather climate residents from their spring and fall wardrobes? </p>
