I got some Dana Buchman Slim Straight mid rise pants at Kohl's this summer that are really flattering. They are pull on but are not baggy and the style I have has "tummy control" which I need. I don't wear pants in the summer so I bought several pair for the fall-one in navy, one in khaki and one in a black and white print that is really nice that they don't appear to have any more.
They are very office appropriate. These are the ones I got (Petite sizes): https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-25...FcZHDAod3lQHAg These are the same or similar in regular sizes: https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-25...l-on-pants.jsp These do not have pockets-I HATE pockets on pants because they are unflattering on me. However there are some styles in her slim straight line that appear to have pockets. |

This discussion has prompted me to realize that there's an outlet mall with all sorts of good options that I hadn't considered for a while.
I may well be going over there this afternoon, I've got a baptism service to attend and I should probably get a present too. Off to see if there's a gift registry.

I've actually had better luck with walking out of the store with business attire at JC Penny's than most of the wonderful suggestions here. I'm going to try Penny's and Dress Barn this weekend and if I run across an Old Navy, I'll check in. The Old Navy near my house doesn't even have jeans in stock in my size, pretty much ever, finding short or petite sizes in anything else isn't going to happen. I'm not looking for uncommon sizes either.
I find Kohl's dress pants to be more expensive than similar stores, even when I use discounts. The quality doesn't seem any different than Penny's. I'd have to buy jeans too if that was part of the dress code. Where I live, it's warm to hot most of the year, so I wear shorts 90+% of my life. Bare legs are fine for me until the temps drop below 50. Anyhow, what I see people wearing is often casual but just not jeans or tights, but not quite as dressy as the business insider article. I guess business casual -. |

I got so distracted looking at clothing that I totally forgot to seek out a present for the baby. Sigh.
On the plus side, at Talbots I found two pairs of pull on velvet pants ($12!!) and a pair of pull on suede (well, polyester and spandex) pants. Love the feel of both. I was beginning to suspect that my old velvet pants were going to wear out before I found a replacement, and now I have two new ones! The suede pull ons are newer so the discount wasn't as great, but they're so, so soft. I found a similar top sorta at random in a TJ Maxx, which is what inspired me to give them a try. I'm so glad. Not sure I'll wear the two together, but I love having the option to choose. Thank you for this discussion, I wouldn't have been inspired to go out looking otherwise.
