We all have to project a professional image in the workplace, whether office, shop or factory, and as part of this image especially in ladies work wear images have changed over the years and a pair of stylish and flattering trousers is now seen as a must. These are available in an amazing range of styles, designs and colours today that there is something to suit everyone’s personal taste, but there is more to finding the right pair than simply pulling the first pair you see off the rack.

There are four main steps to making sure you get the right pair of trousers for your work environment: choosing the right style, material, colour, and size. Making the wrong choice can affect the way you look and feel and can lead to a detrimental impact on your effectiveness in your workplace. Whereas following some straightforward ideas to the right pair can make a woman look stylish and feel comfortable in the working environment.

1. Choosing the right style for you and the workplace. When selecting trousers for work style should be the leading consideration, but it should be remembered that not all styles suit all body shapes and types, and that not all styles are appropriate for all working environments. For example straight leg trousers are considered the most adaptable style as they flatter most of the recognized body types, whereas others such as the skinny style, only work for specific figures.

2. Material. The job that is to undertaken can often have a big influence on the choice of material that is required. Fine cotton and polyester can have a certain elegance to them, but if you are in an active environment these are not suitable as they do have a tendency to snag and are difficult to clean. A mix of synthetic and natural fibres can give you the versatility of being easily maintained and durable as well. The incorporation of synthetics can also add properties such as being wrinkle free or no ironing required, which means that a professional appearance can be maintained more easily.

3. Colour. Some employers may have a dress code that restricts the choice when it comes to colour. In an office environment it is more likely to see more dark colours, such as blue or black being the norm, with bright colours being seen as unprofessional, but in certain environments the opposite would be true, especially where being seen is being safe.

4. Size. A veritable minefield, so all I will say here is that simply make sure that they fit properly and are comfortable. Remember you are going to wearing them all day, so maybe look for an elasticated waist for a little extra comfort
