Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
These pants from Uniqlo have been a staple in my wardrobe for so many years, it feels rude not to mention them here. The fabric has a bit of stretch for a fabulous fit, they’re machine washable, and the price is pretty great.
As an added bonus, Uniqlo will do hemming for $5 (especially helpful if you’re a person who has had a small pile of clothes in their closet since 2022 that will go to the tailor “eventually”).
The pants are $49.90 at Uniqlo and come in sizes XXS-XXL. They also come in five other colors.
Ankle pants may not be super trendy at the moment, but they can still be a great look, particularly if you like to switch up your shoe heights a lot. As of 2024, longstanding favorites include pants from Eileen Fisher*, J.Crew*, and Theory. For plus sizes check Eloquii as well as the options with asterisks — and on the more casual side, check out Old Navy*, Athleta*, and Everlane*.
