The 9 Very Best Black Work Pants for Women - New York Magazine

-

The fabric makes all the difference in how a pair of pants looks and wears. Polyester is more popular than cotton because it doesn't wrinkle as much, plus it's machine washable so it won't up your dry-cleaning bill. Linen lets your legs breathe. Crêpe (which can be made of everything from silk to a synthetic like polyester) also won't crease easily, and has a more textured feel. Modal is known for its silk-like softness and stretch.

No matter the material, pay attention to whether a pant has some stretch, which is a big factor in comfort. You'll usually see it in the form of either elastane or spandex (these are essentially the same fabrics under different names, with Lycra being the trademark version). Almost all the pants below have some percentage of stretch. A lot of stretch can make a pant look like it's made from a technical fabric (as in exercise gear), says style coach Kim Hancher, which could break unofficial business-casual rules. But the Hayden from Banana Republic — our best overall pick — features 3 percent elastane, and means business.

For local sellers, vintage clothing growing in popularity - Mankato Free Press For local sellers, vintage clothing growing in popularity - Mankato Free Press Posted: 29 Jan 2021 12:00 AM PST MANKATO — When Sarah Wooding and husband Jameson Sweiger began acquiring vintage clothing a decade ago, they didn't expect their collection would evolve into a career, with buyers from places such as Japan flying in to visit their Mankato shop 20 times a year to meet a growing demand for American vintage apparel. "The Japanese have the greatest appreciation for American vintage culture," Sweiger said. "It's mind-blowing that they have better archives of American vintage clothes than Americans." The couple's collection of 40 bins and hanging racks in their Old Town location has everything from psychedelic dresses from the 1960s and sports apparel from the 1980s to World War II era military clothing and sports
