Women's Work Pants

Blouses and worktops looking a little lonely, but not really a skirt kind of girl? That’s all good and fine because formal workwear attire is never without corporate pants.

From classic dress pants, casual culottes, modern pantsuits to sophisticatedly tailored trousers, women’s work pants are key to elevating smart-casual attire to something more corporate chic. If you’re keen on updating your daily 9-5 wardrobe, browse Forcast’s collection of comfortably stretchy corporate pants designed to ease you from desk to dinner in a matter of minutes.

Shopping For Office Pants

Formal clothing for women certainly has a greater number of choices than men. Finding the right mix and knowing what top to pair with the pant style you choose takes practice. While women’s work skirts are more on-trend and feminine, workwear pants are an essential that can be pulled out of your wardrobe time and time again, suiting both professional and business casual environments.

At Forcast, our easy-to-match styles come in a variety of different lengths, fabrics and classic colours such as black, grey and white. For more fresh office attire, our collection of work pants also come in subtly checkered prints and bold colours. Complete your on-trend suiting style with a structured blazer and mid-low heels for an effortlessly corporate aesthetic.

It’s important to remember that the rule of matching doesn’t always apply to work shirts and work pants all the time. Don’t be afraid to get experimental as long as it conforms to the rules and regulations of your office environment.

We’ve collated the top corporate pant styles designed to match any work shirt, tee, blouse and blazer combo-

Dress Pants: A classic staple for any workwear wardrobe, women’s dress pants are the most popular choice for the corporate office. Worn from formal to semi-formal events, we offer office pants in multiple shades and tailored in either straight-leg or tapered cut silhouettes for you to choose from. Style yours with any of your favourite work shirts and blouses.

Culottes: Either cut to knee-length or mid-calf, the It-Girl pants of late appear to have a skirted look due to added panels that widen the silhouette. The following pleats instantly add volume to the pant silhouette while still leaving them looking expertly tailored. Ideal for the summer months, culottes are a perfect choice for smart-casual office environments as they allow a greater amount of leg-room, and breezy for summer months.

Super Slim Pants: Like leggings but ten times smarter and more appropriate for the corporate office. For those hustling days running from meeting to meeting, stretchy work pants are a definite wardrobe investment. Best teamed with jewel-toned knits and calf-length heeled boots, slim-line pants work wonders to elongate the legs and hug the hips in all the right places.

Tapered Pants: Another staple in women’s work pants, the following style has an identifying silhouette. Tapered pants feature a roomy seat that gradually narrows towards the ankle to create an inverted shape. Loose and comfy enough to sit through hours of office meetings, but still looks clean and sharp thanks to the subtle alterations at the ankle. We style our tapered trousers with a short-waisted blazer in neutral tones and finish the look off with pointy-toed pumps.

Cropped Pants: Whether they’re tapered, feature a wide-leg or high-waisted, a pair of women’s work pants that are cropped at the ankle screams corporate chic. If you’re keen on maximising the length of your legs without feeling swamped in fabric, cropped pants are the way to go. We suggest styling our more bold-coloured capris and cropped trousers in a more neutral-coloured top, and nude-toned pumps to really lengthen the legs.
