Colourful pants. I was having a chat with a friend on the weekend who wondered aloud how the young people in her conservative workplace could think that bright red pants were appropriate. Sure, I hadn’t seen the offender myself but I insisted that colourful pants can be work-appropriate if styled properly – and today’s BusiChic [...]
