I think straightlegs and bootlegs can still be current if they're styled correctly, but it's easy for me at least to feel rather old-fashioned in them. I think skinnies (not too legging like) are OK with a jacket and longer top but what if you need to take the jacket off? Then you just look too casual. I like the idea of a slouchy trouser as has been trending, but with my not skinny body at least, I need to wear it with a fitted, tucked-in top or the proportions just look sloppy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trouser-silhouette-for-fallwinter-for-business-casual#post-1012958 Sat, 24 Aug 2013 16:19:47 +0000 Angie 1012958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might find these work wear capsule posts helpful: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/21/work-wear-for-spring-the-compact-capsule/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/.....t-capsule/</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/14/work-wear-for-spring-one-capsule-many-outfits/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/.....y-outfits/</a></p> <p>Also, good fit&nbsp; bootcut trousers are gorgeous when you match them with trendy tops and statement footwear. The devil is in the detail. I can help you with that detail if you like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trouser-silhouette-for-fallwinter-for-business-casual#post-1012628 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 23:37:22 +0000 kkards 1012628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>were i work, we have a similar dress code.<br />i think skinnies and ponte pants&nbsp;are made totally work appropriate&nbsp;by wearing a more structured top, one easy way is to&nbsp;add a jacket (blazer, moto or bomber).<br />&nbsp;i also really like just a regular straight leg, like this one from the loft.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.loft.com/marisa-straight-leg-pants-in-micro-textured-loft-bi-stretch/307625?colorExplode=false&amp;skuId=14618758&amp;catid=catl000014&amp;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&amp;defaultColor=6015">http://www.loft.com/marisa-str.....orExplode=</a>.&nbsp;<br />for this fall, i'm looking &nbsp;to add a more relaxed pant, like the plaid one from zara&nbsp;that was in the angie's black footwear post . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trouser-silhouette-for-fallwinter-for-business-casual#post-1012461 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 19:09:04 +0000 Anonymous 1012461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a slightly slouchy, somewhat tapered trouser? Look at some past looks from Shannon and Suz in particular for inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trouser-silhouette-for-fallwinter-for-business-casual#post-1012446 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 18:42:43 +0000 peekaboo 1012446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Angie's casual capsules from the last two days but my reality is that I spend most days at work.&nbsp; I would guess my dress code would be described as business casual.&nbsp; (Most men wear khakis and button downs, +/- ties)</p> <p>I like the idea of skinnies and ponte pants with booties or tall boots but I always feel a little casual.&nbsp; Bootcuts seem&nbsp;boring though, though that's what most people I work with wear.</p> <p>I'd like to wear more skirts and dresses but it's physically a little challenging for me.&nbsp; </p> <p>Ideas? </p>
