Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
I have to admit that I came across these lovely high-rise trousers from Gap after initially spotting the low-rise version. There was a moment when I considered adding the lower rise to my cart (they looked so good on me 20 years ago!), but then I remembered all the gymnastics that were required to avoid overexposure when I was reaching over my head or bending down to the ground, and I decided that my 40-something self was no longer up for it.
I’ll retreat back into the warm cocoon of the high-rise pant and forget there was a time when underwear exposure in low-rise pants was so prevalent that we even had a name for it.
The pants are $89.95 full price at Gap — 30% off with code — and come in sizes 0-20, with regular, petite, and tall inseams. They also come in black, navy, deep woods green, and beachwood beige.
