13 Pairs Of Trousers You Can Wear Every Day To The Office
Consult New Zealand designers for a sturdy pair of trousers that will see you through the day.
A great pair of trousers, with roomy pockets, relaxed fit and a comfortable waistband, can change the way you feel throughout a day in the office.
In this collection, there are plenty of wide leg pairs, chosen for their easy and amenable design.
However, they are punctuated in different ways. Darts create powerful structure, pleats direct draping and extra layers add dimension without effort.
Despite morning chill, the autumn season is still delivering sun throughout the day. If you want a lighter pair of trousers for smart layering, Dominique Healy has a range realised in breezy cotton (they will look especially crisp next to knit textures).
Porter James has a good range of barrel leg cut trousers. This pair, among the label’s newest offerings, features darts through the leg for pleasant structure (they also offer tall sizing and will tailor length at your request).
Side ties provide added detail for these low-waisted checked trousers. The straight leg might offer easier movement if you’re on your feet throughout the day.
Relaxed, minimalist suiting is a staple of Juliette Hogan’s collections. This pair appears especially breezy. The cut is called “Boyfriend” – it’s the best-selling pair of pants for the label, and they’re also available in brown, black and grey.
These trousers are cut neatly and feature pleating designed to mimic office attire. However, there is some subversion in the material – it’s a nylon, which is extra lightweight.
Another pair of pants that adapts the barrel shape, complete with pockets and elasticated waistband.
These cream wide-leg trousers, made from a cotton-blend, are designed to sit mid-waist. Harris Tapper has also released a matching top, for those who enjoy co-ordinated sets.
These sleek trousers are punctuated with a wrap skirt overlay, creating an in-built layer for those who want dimension.
As with all of Kowtow’s clothing, these super wide leg trousers are 100% cotton. Pleating through the front will ensure a structured silhouette.
A subtle lustre sets these wide-leg trousers apart and makes them ideal for transitional days, day-to-night styling especially.
These layered trousers also feature a skirt overlay, though this option is a little more precise. They also sit high-waisted, if you choose true-to-size, making the design a more pronounced feature of your ensemble.
“Keep it simple”, these black trousers claim. Twenty Seven Names, best known for their distinct approach to colour and patterns, also offer some of New Zealand’s most impeccable wardrobe staples.
For days that require further insulation, look to warmer fabrics. This pair of trousers from Zambesi features a wool-blend and will offer a better buffer against cool winds.
