A great pair of pants is a key wardrobe essential for the office. Once you find the perfect fit, you can switch up your top and accessories for endless outfits. When I was working my corporate job, I wanted to remain comfortable while sitting at my desk all day. Some of my coworkers wore leggings to work. But I never thought it looked professional. That’s where a stretchy skinny pant comes in. It gives you the comfort of a legging without sacrificing style.

Express just came out with this amazing extreme stretch skinny pant. While you can never go wrong with black, I chose navy for a summery feel. I paired the pants with an off the shoulder tee so all I needed was one item to go from work to drinks with friends. By adding a sleeveless jacket, I was able to add more coverage and dress up the casual top. For night, I simply took off the vest, untucked my tee and turned my necklace backwards into a choker for a more relaxed vibe. If skinnies aren’t your thing, they have an equally stretchy flare pant that will achieve the same look.
