"How can I recommend my favorite work staples without attempting to do the impossible, score the perfect work pants? As Nikki noted, Emmy Rossum has the waxed denim thing down, but I can&amp;#x27;t be the only one who&amp;#x27;s struggling to find a pair of pants that are proportionately tailored and don&amp;#x27;t cling in all the wrong places. I did the search and came out with a pair I love. This week, we explore the perfect pants for the office and three ways to style them! Here&amp;#x27;s where I landed... The winning pants ended up being from Loft. Meet the &amp;quot;Marisa&amp;quot;: She&amp;#x27;s stretchy (but not too stretchy), cropped just above the ankle, waist slightly below the belly button (a.k.a. no muffin top!), and, most important, she has a little more stretch in the back to help smooth out the tush. Marisa, marry me? The pants come in a variety of colors, but I chose olive green because it goes great with a fall palette. I first paired the dark green with a white top, but the contrast looked too stark, so I stuck with a more autumnal color theme, including oxblood.
