Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Ooooh: love these Michael Kors boot-cut crepe pants. Beige is not normally a color that excites me (pants or otherwise) but this light caramel color really looks lux and fresh to me. The pants were $895, now marked to $534, at Nordstrom. Michael Kors Boot-Cut Crepe Pants

'Menswear' Full Leg TrousersA great trouser doesn’t need much by way of exposition, but: hello, these look great, and Nordstrom has them in 7 colors, which says a lot about their confidence level. I like the aubergine (pictured), as an interesting not-quite-neutral color. I’d wear it with shades of gray or blue, or I might try colorblocking with a dark red sweater on top. They’re $198 at Nordstrom (sizes 0 to 18). Lafayette 148 New York ‘Menswear’ Full Leg Trousers

Lafayette 148 New York 'Menswear' Full Leg TrousersSometimes all you want is a simple pair of pants, and today I’m liking these menswear inspired pants from Lafayette 148 New York. I like the lack of cuffs and the lack of front pockets, as well as the multitude of colors and sizes (regulars, petites) available. They’re unhemmed, but Nordstrom offers free hemming at no charge. Limited sizes and colors (such as granite) are on sale for $118; the rest are full price at $198. Lafayette 148 New York ‘Menswear’ Full Leg Trousers

New York & Co. is having some crazy sales right now — prices up to 70% off, plus take an extra 15% off with promo code 2400 — lots of pieces come below $10.  For today’s TPS, we like this pair of pants, which (strictly speaking) is not on sale (but:  buy one and get the second pair 50% off).  We like the slight bit of sheen to them, and the general flare; we also like that they come in petites and talls.  They’re $46.95 at New York & Co., in sizes 0 through 18.  City Stretch Lightweight Flare Pants

These gray trousers strike us as a great basic for fall, winter and spring — and they’re 50% off and available in almost every size.  Note, however, that they are unhemmed, but Nordstrom will do it for you free of charge.  Lovely!  They were $218, now $129 at Nordstrom.   Lafayette 148 New York ‘Riley’ Stretch Wool Pants

men's pants lengthsThis post is actually inspired by a reader’s question:

How long should pant hemlines be, when wearing a suit or dress pants with loafers (with a 1″ stacked heel) or heels?
We recall, many years ago, seeing an illustrated feature in the front of Esquire magazine, advising men how long their hemlines should be with different types of pants and shoes. (Yes, we were dorky enough to scan it and keep it.) Our advice won’t be quite as nuanced as that, alas, because in our minds the answer is always the same: the front of the hemline should brush the front of your foot (“the vamp”), and only a half-inch of heel (inch at most) ought to be showing in the back. Far too often we see women wearing heels with pants that are hemmed for flats — it makes their legs look shorter. It’s even worse with suits, because then the whole suit looks like it doesn’t fit. Readers, any thoughts?
