I have to admit that I’m struggling with work pants right now.
There’s no real prevailing trend at the moment, which means I actually have to sit down and figure out which fits look best on me. (And as a 40-something, having to admit that what looks best on me today is not at all what looked best on me 15 years ago!)
As a short-legged, curvy lady, I’m finding that I am really leaning into a slightly flared trouser, and fortunately, there are a lot of great options out there.
The Natalia pant from J. Crew is a new-ish addition, and I’m really liking the range of colors and sizes available. I’ve been wearing the black, but I’m thinking about getting the “French Press” color for autumn.
The pants are $158 and come in classic sizes 00-24, petite sizes 00-12 and tall sizes 0-16. Select colors are down to $94, and cropped styles are 50% off already marked down prices.
Going on a hunt for work pants? As of 2025, we think the best work pants for women include longtime favorites such as Nic + Zoe, Theory, NYDJ, J.Crew, and M.M.LaFleur — as well as trendy brands like Spanx, and Favorite Daughter. For budget-friendly styles, check Quince, Old Navy, and Amazon seller Tapata.
