The Perfect Trouser

Trousers are a staple of the modern urban working woman's wardrobe.
The salient features to be considered while purchasing a trouser meant for the workplace are as follows:

1. The fit
2. The length
3. The material
4. The colour

1. The Fit
The most helpful tip to select the perfect fit is courtesy TLC channel's show 'What Not To Wear'.
The right fit is when the trouser falls straight from the widest part of the leg.

2. The Length
The trouser should be long enough to not show skin above the ankles when one is sitting. So, while altering a trouser, the length should be till the anatomical heel and not the ankle. This way, the hosiery does not show up when one is sitting cross-legged.

3. The Material
A cotton blend or a linen blend has better fall as compared to synthetic blend trousers. If the trouser incorporates lycra the fit is even better. A dark denim might be worn as business casual only if the company policy allows it.

4. The Colour
Stick to black, gray, beige, navy blue and brown for the office. One might get away with a bright coloured top or shirt if the trouser is of a muted shade.
