On a mission to find the best work trousers? A pair that are comfortable enough to sit in all day, formal enough for the board room, warm enough for the office but keep you cool enough on bustling commutes, versatile enough to head straight out after work to meet friends for a drink?
Here at Karen Millen, we pride ourselves on our range of wearable, reliable workwear that fills you with contagious confidence, whether spending the day at the desk working on spreadsheets, or presenting to a room of high-ranking managers. A go-to pair of work trousers is essential in any working woman’s wardrobe, so scroll on for our top picks of the best work trousers, from the best pull-on trousers, to wide leg silhouettes, to slinky slim legs, petite to plus size.
Best Wide Leg Work Trousers
Truly the silhouette of the moment: wide leg work trousers. A wide, billowing silhouette is ideal for adding some drama to an office outfit, while remaining comfortable and office-appropriate.
Surprisingly easy to style, a pair of wide leg work trousers can be worn with almost anything, from a bodysuit to create a tucked in T-shirt illusion, to cardigans, to button up shirts and blazers layered over the top.
Chunky shoes or pointed toe shoes are the optimum choice, as they peek out from under the wide legs to bring a sense of structure back into the look.
Best Straight Leg Work Trousers
The most reliable of the work trouser silhouettes, straight leg trousers are relaxed enough to be ultra comfortable, but slim enough to still flaunt the silhouette. Available in a huge range of fabrics, with features such as drawstrings, pleats, and unique colours, a pair of straight leg trousers elevate an office outfit no matter the season.
Style with a blouse and loafers for a comfortable, relaxed office outfit ideal for long commutes and even longer meetings.
Best Slim Leg Work Trousers
A work trouser silhouette that can do it all is the slim leg fit. They can be styled with almost any top and easily layered, as well as worn inside and outside of the workplace.
Wear them with a crop top or bodysuit for more casual days, then with tank tops layered under a blazer, knit jumpers, and long sleeve blouses on cooler days. Any shoe works, from trainers to heeled boots to pointed toe heels.
Best Work Trousers for Any Figure
Our plus size work trousers are ultra varied in silhouette, because every person with any figure deserves options that fills them with confidence. From wide legs to figure hugging fits, and features like splits, pleats, high waistlines, and high quality fabrics, our petite, plus size, and tall work trousers are versatile choices for office days and beyond.
