Each day, we curate our workwear reports to highlight one exceptional piece of work-appropriate attire that fits a variety of budgets.
Recently, I have developed a significant appreciation for the Wit & Wisdom ‘Ab’Solution denim line. These jeans provide a comfortable fit without being overly constrictive, offering just the right amount of support that my 40-year-old body truly values. Unlike some other brands that can feel like a second skin, this line strikes a perfect balance between comfort and style.
While I haven’t explored their non-denim options yet, these straight-leg ankle pants seem like an excellent alternative. The pleated waist design can sometimes be a point of contention in fashion circles, but I find the pleating on these pants to be discreet and stylish, making them a viable option for my wardrobe. Additionally, they offer petite lengths, which is a huge relief as it means I can skip the hassle of tailoring.
Priced at $78 at Nordstrom, these pants are available in a wide range of sizes from 0 to 16, including petite sizes (0P-16P). The brand also offers similar styles in plus sizes from 14W to 24W, ensuring that there is something for everyone in terms of fit and style.
As of 2025, numerous workwear brands are incorporating built-in shapewear into their designs. Notable names include Spanx, Yummie, White House Black Market, Honeylove, NYDJ, and Gravitas. Additionally, you might want to explore brands like ShapeLLX, Popilush, TA3, and SheWaisted. However, be mindful of your workplace dress code; styles like bodycon or slip dresses (especially those with spaghetti straps) may not be suitable for most office environments.
If you are looking for pants featuring “tummy control” panels, consider brands like NYDJ, Lyssè, Wit & Wisdom, and Briggs. For those interested in denim, Lee’s Sculpting line and Levi’s Totally Shaping line are worth checking out. Additionally, Tuckernuck’s compression knit pants have gained popularity and are among their bestsellers!
