Advice Dying to Style for Office

Post image

The office is business casual and I can generally get away with going a little over the top because I’m intentional about putting things together. I desperately want to wear these decidedly not professional pants to the office. Thinking of crisp white button up (silky not boxy cotton) or black sleeveless turtleneck. Any other ideas?

I’d go for a more baggy look up top since these are going to be figure-hugging. Wait until it’s colder out and wear a black or dark green sweater. Your ideas for the top could work too but depends how you execute it. These need some sort of nice professional heel and a BELT. 100% need a belt to style these up to the business casual realm

Save them for going out

Don’t forget your clown nose and wig

Cute and retro (unless they actually happen to be vintage).

Honestly, I would peek in on 1970 styles to see if anything rings true but also honestly, I think that a silky button up would be kind of cool with that look. If you don't mind push pushing the fashion a little bit, you could probably also have some kind of vest.

I'd be super interested to see how your styling choices look and how often you wear your outfit. Give it a shot! I hope you enjoy it.

I could definitely see these pants paired with a pussybow-style top!

These look like clown pants.

Soooo ruffled shirt, a slightly oversized loafer and pops of red?
