"Real talk, I&amp;#x27;m a pants girl through and through. I own maybe six dresses total, and live in jeans and cropped trousers&amp;amp;#8212;especially in the winter. And you can be sure, winter is coming (whudup, Game Of Thrones!), and so are sub-zero temps, rogue gusts of wind hell-bent on exposing your Spanx&amp;#x27;d bum to the world, and general freezy unpleasantness. So even if you&amp;#x27;re a devoted girly-girl, it&amp;#x27;s time to buy some pants, y&amp;#x27;all.Wide-leg trousers are one of my favorite options for really, really freezing days, because the generous shape lets you layer cozy tights or leggings underneath, and also looks totally polished and chic. Here are my five favorite office-appropriate ways to wear them. Source: topshop.tumblr.com via Nicole on Pinterest 1. As a feminine suit. Feminine suiting is a huge trend this season (and for spring too!), and pairing your trousers with a matching blazer and a neutral blouse is a great fashion-forward way to wear the look. Bonus: you can wear the pieces separately too to get the maximum wear out of your purchase. Source: garypeppervintage.blogspot.com via Halta on Pinterest 2. With a ladylike tweed jacket. There&amp;#x27;s nothing more classic and chic than a cropped tweed jacket. The proportions of a cropped jacket and breezy pants is super flattering, especially for those blessed with an hourglass shape. This is a fool-proof combo!

I love the classic preppy elements (gray plaid trousers, equestrian-inspired blazer) and the tomboyish proportions, but her silk camisole and statement necklace keep the look from becoming too masculine.

When all else fails, put a blouse on it; Joe Fresh and Equipment make my fave silky blouses (if you don&amp;#x27;t own a classic silk blouse, get on it, girl!). Like the cropped tweed jacket, this is a winning combination, and it looks totally professional. Depending on your office, you can make this as basic or fashion-forward as you want. Which of these looks is your favorite? What do you wear to work on crazy-cold days?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
