How many pairs of 'work pants' do you own?

For those of you that have to dress up for work - corporate casual.

I can wear jeans but I want to start dressing up a little more often.

Most of my pants are work pants....lol!
When I'm not at work, I'm in jeans....period.

I just get so sick of dressing up for work, that on the weekends, I take casual to a whole new level! lol!

Same here and I don't even have to get that dressed up! Although on the weekends, I'm usually in a sweat suit and sneakers!

I wear jeans or dress pants...nothing in between too! ..hahha

I have a lot of pairs but if you count the ones I actually wear on a regular basis, its probably about 5 - and 4 of those are black.

Re: How many pairs of 'work pants' do you own?

thank you

This will jhelp ne solve a debate. My DH thinks that since I can wear jeans all week that I don't need to look nice once in a while LOL....

He thinks 1 pair of black pants and one pair of tan is enough. I told him women need complete outfits not 5 pairs of khakis and 10 shirts like you have LOL!!

they don't get it.

Re: How many pairs of 'work pants' do you own?

If i could wear jeans to work, I would EVERYDAY! Oh my god, that would be so great. Dress pants are so much more of a pain to maintain.

I agree, its a wonderful benefit to have....BUT every now and then I don't feel like I look professional enough. On the other hand, anytime I need a quick outfit or it is a yucky weather day - jeans it is!!

Re: How many pairs of 'work pants' do you own?

lots of pants, maybe 10-15 pair...

I used to have mostly black, but I got it in my head that I wore too much black so now I have a closet full of gray instead. Now I think I wear too much gray...

Re: How many pairs of 'work pants' do you own?

Marcella - you have 30-40 pairs that you wear all the time? Like you only wear each pair of pants 2x a year b/c you have so many? Or do ou have a few that you wear a lot and the rest are in your closet for most of the year.

I wish I had more than I liked enough to wear but I usually find a few pairs that i like and wear them out.

That I wear to work, yes.. maybe even more.. That's a rough count.. What I usually do is, I wear basically the same cut pant.. so if there is a sale on the pants I usually wear, I'll buy several of the same style.. I also have several pant suits..

Apart from those pants, I also have going out pants, which tend to be tighter, and a lower hip cut.. and colored pants, jeans, cuord's and such..
