Styling an outfit for the office can be tough, which is where two piece pants outfits come in to the rescue. You do not really need to think out much of the outfit with the exception of the accessories making your morning routine that much more efficient.
Brands such as Odd Muse have really popularised the concept of a two piece outfit, with their stunning ‘The Ultimate Muse Wide Leg Trousers and Top set.’ In the article below we will further explore other brands that offer amazing two piece pants outfits sets.
What is Not Appropriate for Business Casual?
Although two piece pants sets can be ultra cute, it’s also best to choose your co-ord sets with caution. Opt for a top and maxi skirt set rather than a set with a mini skirt or choose a long wide leg pants set over a set with tight pants. Invest into a good quality two piece pants set with thick fabric to ensure that your attire is not see through. Crop tops are big no no. Balance out your outfits, ensuring that you do not show too much skin, as an example, if you are wearing a sleeveless top do not match this was a short skirt. Vice Versa, if you are wearing a pair of long wide leg pants feel free to match it with a short sleeve top.
What Kind of Pants are Business Casual?
I personally opt for wide leg pants when dressing for the office, they provide a beautiful silhouette and are perfect for a corporate environment. Alternatively, if you are looking for a different set of business casual pants than you can experiment with the fabric and try styling a pair of satin pants or white linen pants.
Two Piece Pants Outfits
Reformation, Blair Two Piece Set
Reformation is my go to for business casual two piece pants outfits. This set in particular is perfect for an office environment, pair it with a pair of cute kitten heels and voila you are ready for the work without wasting precious minutes on styling an outfit.
As I previously mentioned the Reformation does an amazing job with its business casual co-ords, so you’ll see them popping up in this article more than once. Yes, the price point is a bit spenny but the tailored fit is worth the pretty penny. This two piece formal pants set is perfect for a corporate girly who likes to dress with style yet keep it formal.
The Commense, Oversized Leisure Pleat Pockets Two Piece Pants Set
Now this set by the Commense falls more towards the informal side but in some business casual work environments you will definitely be able to get away with it. If you prefer to remain cautious but would like to wear a similar outfit, consider styling these satin pleated pants with a sleeveless turtleneck which will take away that PJ look and make it more business friendly.
