Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
At least once every spring, I see a retailer try to sell me on “formal shorts” for the office. Obviously, office dress codes can vary, but they have never been appropriate in any professional setting I’ve worked in.
These lightweight, ankle-length trousers from Vince won’t feel quite as rebellious as office shorts, but even showing an inch or two of ankle felt like an act of rebellion in my white-shoe law firm 10-15 years ago. They come in black and beige, and pack beautifully for travel.
The pants are $325 at Nordstrom and come in sizes XXS-XL, with the beige options on sale; you can find plus sizes for it at Vince.
Psst: we just rounded up lightweight, summer work pants for women! Some of our favorites are from Nic & Zoe, M.M.LaFleur, Ministry of Supply, and Uniqlo – Banana Republic Factory sometimes has pants in their AirStretch line, also! (If you’re looking for comfort, we’ve also rounded up pull-on pants for the office…)
