Workwear: The Happy Medium

 You all know my disdain for dress pants. These grey jersey stretch leggings from Forever21 are just a small sampling of my workwear. And those are seams, not pleats, people. 

Pleats freak me out. Pleated pants are very 80s business woman pant suit-ish. Besides, do I look like I do dress pants? I manage to skirt the rules (love the blog by the same namesake, btw) as far as a work dress code is concerned...

My advice for those who have to wear work attire, but hate boxy pants and pleats: 

- Find pants with a more tailored fit - ones that feel like pants you'd normally wear. 

- However, avoid man-made fabrics like polyester, which is prone to pilling.

- And be warned by labels that promise a slim fit or special cut - try them on no matter how confident you are that they'll fit. There's no universal fit and cut for everyone.

Remember - all workwear is not created equal!
