With its classic cut and monotone color, office slacks get a bad reputation for appearing plain and boring, but they're a lot more versatile than you think. Here, we show you the little ways you can style this workwear staple:
1. Update your hip-hugging slacks with a high-waisted pair.

4. If you often wear black slacks, consider getting it in another office-appropriate color like beige, white, or navy blue to switch things up.
5. Take the no-fail route to looking chic: Dress in one color.
6. If the dress code permits, reach for a pair of shoes in an interesting hue.
Try jewel tones like mustard and emerald green that won't appear too loud against your black-and-white office outfits.
7. Add texture!
Instead of a plain white button-down shirt, why not wear a shiny satin top?
