Dress Pants: Help meeeeeeee

BarTopDancer · 07-05-2006, 08:33 PM

Help!

My new job is not a jeans and t-shirt type of place /sigh /sob. So I need dress pants. I've spent the better part of the last 3 days shopping and while I have more shirts and shoes than I will ever need I only found 1 pair of pants. These pants to be exact. They say ultra low rise but they aren't. They hit at a comfortable and respectible level.

My requirements are: not super high waist, not super low waist (no "mom jeans" or "tramp pants"), not linen (don't like the material), dark in color and not made of that clingy wrinkley material. Oh, and they need to be a size long.

I prefer to not spend a small fortune on them either.

Can anyone help?

ETA: I've tried on everything that caught my eye at BR and ON as well as Kohls and Express.

How 'bout I help you by moving this thread out of beatnik, where it's not about movies or books or music ... and into, perhaps, the Lounge ... where you might get some business-attire fashion assistance?

Could you be so kind as to move it (again) into Hep Cat and Kitten (which is where I meant to post it)?

Thank you Steve! You so rock!

Done and done. Heheh, with redirects everywhere!

If you are really desperate, I could move it all around the board before having it settle down in Hep.

Thank you!

If you're desperate enough for some moderating duties feel free

Hie theeself to Jacques Penney - they usually have a pretty good selection at good prices.

BarTopDancer · 07-05-2006, 09:05 PM

Thanks WB. They are on the agenda for my next outing. So is NY & CO

I usually go to BR, but they have lost a large amount of favor with me lately. Of course, I rarely wear dress pants and, lately, all I wear is linen or jeans - mostly linen which I adore. I'm not sure where I'd go for dress pants, should I need them. Probably Nordstroms. I think their anniversary sale is coming up and you can get KILLER deals on good stuff - if you're willing to brave the crowds.

Thanks Lisa. I'll check them out and keep stuff in mind for their sale. I found 2 pants that I loved at BR (basic but nice enough) but they just fit funny.

The dress code is business casual, with a leaning towards casual (I saw women in capris) if that helps.

You can always go for the standard "dockers" type khakies. If people are wearing capris, that's pretty casual.

Also, Nordstroms Rack might have something, although that is not the quality and style of the stuff they carry in the regular store. I haven't had much luck there.

The Nordstroms Anniversary Sale beigins Friday, July 17.
