Now is the time to slip into something casual while polished, something comfy yet chic – and that is a denim pencil skirt ladies!  A fabulous alternative to the basic black pencil skirt.  With a sophisticated silhouette of a pencil skirt, you can easily go from casual to a semi-dressy look depending on the top you wear.

Here is one outfit that will work fabulously on Casual Fridays.  This Perfect Denim Skirt is surely perfect with a wonderfully faded finish, slimming lines and just the right knee-length!  A lightweight gray jersey top and dark gray cardigan creates a lovely tone-on-tone layering.  Last but not least, croco-embossed weekly organizer and stainless steel watch (huge sale!) to keep things in order, in style!

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!

Make it a business casual day with these cuffed sailor trousers.  A leopard-print tank adds just enough glam while the outdoorsy trench coat amps up the pants’ seafaring side.  All you need is a nice set of heels to complete the look.

Another way to play up nautical-inspired pants is to pair them with a striped top as these fashionable ladies show off here.

Add color to your work day with green trousers!  Green is having a major moment this season (along with red).  One way to incorporate this hot color trend into your workwear is with dress pants.  Darker greens are an optimal choice for apparel especially for business professionals.

Here are a few of our favorite work-chic pants in varying green hues – hunter, teal, kelly.  Wear with neutrals for a fail-proof outfit.  For a bolder look, go for fun printed tops such as stripes and polka dots.
