The Skinny

The Skinny by thepreppycupcake featuring high waisted pants

Skinny pants are fashion magic. They can be dressed up or down- trousers or jeans, leggings or cropped. Depending on your work environment, they can be dressy or more 'biz cas'..... which is what I love at the office. Here is the skinny minnie on how to work 'The Skinny.'

1) Bold: Skinny pants in a bold color- think coral, 'Nantucket red,' or kelly green, with a neutral flowy top adds drama and ease to an otherwise blah Tuesday at the office. Pair them with a neutral pump, and some some killer earrings and you are all set.

2) Black: Everyone needs a pair of black Skinnies..... Either cropped, zippered, or tailored, you can't go wrong with a pair of basic black skinny pants. Adding a plain tee, and some cute and tailored flats, make this look a polished classic. Add a silk scarf around your shoulders, and this look is perfect for a client meeting on Friday right before escaping the heat on a summer Friday on the Jitney.

3) Neutral: Who doesn't love a neutral skinny pant. However, the 'skinny' is not just your average khaki, so please don't confuse the two. Add a classic black patent pump, over-sized gold watch, a little black tank, and a lightweight lace cardi for the cool office AC, and you are good to go.
