I have the UO knit gauchos in nutmeg. I haven't worn them yet because I am trying to figure out how to dress them up for the office.
My office isn't totally strict, just business casual, and a lot of people bend the rules. I usually try to look professional and do not like to look sloppy at all.
Any suggestions on how I can dress these pants up, AND look somewhat conservative?
I wore mine to the office. I wore them with a printed cotton blouse (kind of a work-appropriate cami/sleeveless top) and a denim blazer. If denim doesn't work, you could wear them with a cardigan or a twill blazer.
i wear mine to work all the time. i think the easiest way to make them work friendly is to pair them with structured shoes. peep-toes, or flats would work well, though i would probably not go with a ballet flat, since that might be too casual. another look i like that i'll probably wear to work soon is something similar to this
using the belt to cinch the shirt in at the waist. (i'm going to do this with a braided leather belt, but couldn't find one) hope that helps.
