Perfect Pants for Work - Oprah
“I’ve got to tell you,” Oprah announced, “anything that cuts your butt in half should be your favorite thing too!”
If you're looking for chic, comfortable, slimming and versatile, Oprah magazine announced these Ann Taylor khaki pants with black stripes down the sides as fitting the bill. Pair them with your favorite black short-sleeve blouse or a tan top with a black cardigan atop it.

Style idea: Add a top with a little flair and funkiness, like the one to the left, and the comfort level of the outfit increases, along with the chicness. Compliment the basically colorless black and khaki with your own color-laden accessories to accent your comfort chic outfit.
The downside? These pants are going to be on the pricey side, at Ann Taylor, with a sticker price of $88. However, considering the myriad of options that they offer, you'll definitely have plenty of places to wear them!

Dig the following out of your closet:
- Black leggings
- T-shirt - choose your favorite length
- Blazer
- Boots
- Accessories! (purses, sunglasses, necklace, bracelets)
As you can see, it's actually fairly simple to throw together your very own chic and comfy look, just by taking some time to peek through celebrity styles, looking at the individual pieces of clothing and accessories that they used to put together the look, and then digging through your closet to find similar items.
As Fall quickly approaches, it will soon be time for the Summer-to-Fall wardrobe swap-over. As you pull out the Rubbermaid containers with your Fall/Winter clothing in them and start unpacking them, keep your eye out for comfortable, versatile items that can be mixed and matched to create your chic and comfy looks for the Fall. Have fun!
