22 Jan Cubicle Chic: Trousers for Every Body Type

Whether you have a curvy or boyish figure, a trouser is a must in the corporate world. They’re modern, sleek and practical – taking you from the board room to dinner. But you also want to give your co-workers a taste of your sense of style right? Here are three ways to style trousers in the workplace.

The key to perfecting the trouser look is balance. A fitted trouser looks best with looser tops and vice versa. A mid-rise pant with some stretch looks sleekest. They’ll slim you in all the right places while showing off your curves.

Length is crucial. If you are tall, there is no need to lengthen your lower half so mid-calf length is ideal. For those of you who are shorter (like me), we need all the length we can get, so ankle length will look best. Choose a shoe that matches your skin tone to create a clean, sleek, single line.

Most importantly, show off your personal style! Stripes or prints? Brocade or tweed? Whatever your style may be, flaunt it but keep it office appropriate. A monochromatic color scheme and subtle details should do the trick.
