The best wide-leg pants you need to refresh your work wardrobe

Don’t get us wrong: We love a good pair of tailored trousers. Sleek and slimming, a fitting pair of cigarette pants can even help you look taller.

But wearing them five days a week for 52 consecutive weeks a year can be a pain sometimes. Why? Because tailored pants can be well, suffocating to say the least, especially when compared to the ease and breeze of a pair of wide-leg trousers. So why not swop them out for one of these jaunty, relaxed pieces that are oh-so-chic?

And no, these palazzo creations are not just meant for the beach. Scroll down to see the variants that you can easily pull off for work as well. Style them with a white button down or a T-shirt and blazer combo, and you're all set to conquer the corporate world.
