My everyday looks balance style and professionalism with comfort
because no matter how great I look, if I am not comfortable, I’m not as
confident. And while leggings are a comfortable and widely accepted pants
alternative, they may still be a little inappropriate for the office. Which is
why I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of dress pants that feel like
leggings—and I found them! Brass Clothing’s Ponte Pant is the high-waist work pant that I needed in my life. These pants are super
stretchy like leggings, but they don’t lose their shape after sitting in them
all day like the average pair of dress pants. The thick material and three-inch high-waist band give
these pants a premium and professional look without sacrificing comfort or
style.
Another factor on my mind while determining my outfit for
the day is that my office attire has to work overtime because I often attend
fashion shows and events right after work. While I can change out a blazer for
a bomber jacket or a swap my button up shirt for a blouse with a plunging
neckline, I need one pair of pants that can be paired with two contrasting looks and either be
rolled up show off a pair of heels or rolled down to slide into a pair of
boots.
As you can see in this outfit, I wanted to achieve a work
and play kind of vibe. I under rolled the Ponte Pants to come just above my ankle—my favorite way to wear pants lately—and sported
some simple, gray heels. On top, I’m wearing a yellow body suit and a blazer
with mesh sleeves. I rarely ever wear shirts tucked in, but I really liked the highwaist on this pant, and
I wanted to show it off. This outfit is fun and playful, but still
professional. And most importantly, I’m comfortable.
SIZING INFO: I am wearing an XXL in the Ponte Pant,
which is my usual size. Since these pants are very stretchy you can either
order your size or a size down if you want a tighter fit.
