    Reader Question: Leather Pants

    Is it ok to wear black skinny leather pants at work?

    If you work in a creative field or a more laid-back environment, leather pants are good to go (especially on Casual Fridays).  Who says you can’t wear leather pants to work when leggings and skinny jeans are acceptable?  Actually, skinny leather pants can give you some serious style girlfriend!  Nothing quite exhibits a cool vibe like a pair of sleek leather pants.  Look for pants with a simple shape in a solid hue to keep the overall look sleek.

    Be careful and make sure you do it right because the last thing you want is to look like you are going to a rock concert.  Here we created a look that is both elegant and sophisticated.  Soften up the edgy pants by pairing with a blush bow blouse.  Light up the look by topping it off with a white blazer as seen here on blogger Golestaneh.  You can always rely on polished accessories to add that extra oomph to your outfit – black suede pumps, snake-print tote and a stainless steel watch.

    At WorkChic, we encourage readers to ask questions or voice concerns regarding work style (or fashion in general) along with any other suggestions you might have.  We are always happy to hear from you!

    Red pants are not as hard to pull off as one might think.  The lovely ladies below perfected their look by pairing the bold-hued bottom with a simple button top & blouse.

    Style Me Chic – dressy shorts

    Dress shorts are by far more forgiving and suitable for the work place than miniskirts.  With record breaking summer heat, we absolutely welcome these chic shorts.  Jason Wu showcased elegant short-suit style outfits for his SS 2011 runway show.  Loose fitting, tailored, or wide-leg styles are most flattering for office environments or out with clients.
