You could also try wearing these wide trousers with a cropped top/sweater, a tucked silky top with a cropped jacket, or semi-tucking a longer top to keep the long leg line in front while giving some additional layering interest. A top with a welted band would also work well because you can pull the band up higher and puff the blouse out a bit. I think you can work these trousers in just fine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-break-from-the-office-y-mould--wide-legged-trousers-mustard-top-and-blue-cardigan#post-1213522 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 21:25:34 +0000 Peri 1213522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this, and I am so loving all the wide leg enthusiasm going around! I am strictly no tuck on me but this looks great on you and I always love your color combos.</p> <p>I need those pants! What are they? Trousers that feel like PJs...I've got some black, winter ones, but in serious need of hot weather ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-break-from-the-office-y-mould--wide-legged-trousers-mustard-top-and-blue-cardigan#post-1213507 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 21:11:17 +0000 AviaMariah 1213507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really loving this. &nbsp;I think you hit on the perfect combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-break-from-the-office-y-mould--wide-legged-trousers-mustard-top-and-blue-cardigan#post-1213490 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 20:41:16 +0000 Lisa 1213490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors work really well here.&nbsp; Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-break-from-the-office-y-mould--wide-legged-trousers-mustard-top-and-blue-cardigan#post-1213219 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 16:07:51 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1213219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color combo; it's unexpected and very flattering on you. I often find that wider leg trousers look better with a slimmer, closer to the body top. So opting for this knit top instead of a woven blouse was a good bet, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-break-from-the-office-y-mould--wide-legged-trousers-mustard-top-and-blue-cardigan#post-1213084 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:54:03 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1213084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the silhouette with the pants and the tucked in top and that mustard and paired with the blue color is spectacular..

And in an attempt to consciously make my work-wardrobe more interesting and fun (without actually buying new stuff), I came up with this outfit.</p> <p>I started with wanting to wear these super-comfy trousers (they are like PJs, but of-course they are trousers), but pairing a top with it has always been sort of a problem. Since the trousers are wide-legged/not super-fittted, I always try to wear them with a structured top, and there lies the problem. A regular, collared shirt just won't do (I don't own a lot of lycra based office appropriate shirt), and a tee would be too casual, and on purpose I did not want to wear a fitted tee with a nice scarf, although that would have solved the problem. So after going through my (recently) organised closet, I picked up this sleeveless mustard top, which fits me rather well, and would easily give structure to the outfit. The top is long-ish so I tucked it in the trousers, and just to make the outfit office-appropriate, I added a lightweight blue cardigan. For accessories, I wore some traditional Indian gold earrings and my rosegold watch. My shoes and bag belong to the brown family, so they look coordinated.</p> <p>Honestly, I quite like this outfit. I'm wearing (and loving)&nbsp;it as I write this post. How about you? Thoughts and comments welcome! </p>
