Pros: Front slit detail, back pocket
Cons: Expensive
The Jet Setter Trouser by Époque Évolution may be expensive, but we think of them more as a real pair of work trousers that just so happen to be comfy enough to wear on the weekends.
The front slit adds a touch of sophistication and a unique twist, but it also means you can wear the leggings over a pair of ankle boots, which looks a lot more sophisticated than just tucking regular leggings into a boot shaft. The material is slick and stretchy, and it pairs really well with oversized blazers or white button-downs. Plus, a back pocket makes them more practical than plain leggings.
Executive Editor Sally Kaplan calls these her favorite leggings for work, and though she acknowledges the price isn’t ideal, she will passionately tell you that they’re worth the cost if you have the budget — especially if you’re someone who prefers to maintain a more edited “better, not more” kind of closet.
