Why Gap?! Whyyyyy! re: work pants

[dcn]

Nooooooooooo!!! I only have these pants! They are all that fit my body after pg and childbirth. This is a disaster if it is true.

[spk926]

I got some that I really like from Maurices recently. Not sure if you have that store by you or not.

[awkwardpenguin]

This is a major tragedy - those are my work pants too. Modern boot cut 4 lyfe.

ETA: DW gets her work pants at Express, and they're pretty nice, but don't have my size.  I might try there.

[carolinagirl831]

Oh no those are my staple work pants too! Good thing I own about 3 pairs of black and several in other colors

Gap has been on my shit list ever since they got rid of their curvy jeans. It seems like all they carry now is variations of legging and skinny jeans.

I like the Editor pants from Express.

[curbsideprophet]

I have a pair of work pants from White House, Black Market that I like.

Oh no, I love those pants!

I've been wearing pants from Kohls lately, the Apt. 9 ones. I love the fit, my only complaint is that I've had the hem fall out on a couple pairs. I get them cheap enough that I deal with it though. I get either the Modern fit or the Curvy fit:

They have 20% off right now, it ends tonight though.

I am also a modern boot cut lover, and have liked these apt 9. I've had the same problem with the hem falling out of two pair, though!

I get my work pants from JCPenny. I get the modern fit trouser pants.

I was going to suggest these too! I have quite a few pairs. I like the modern fit more than the curvy fit.

[bowies]

Yes go try the Editor pants. The ones in the wide waistband - they hold me in better.

Though they're earning a side eye from me right now for only offering black and gray in short length. What, short girls can't wear navy?

[VillainV]

Loft has nice work pants. Get on their email list, they ALWAYS send out sale alerts and coupon codes. Like several a day.

[D2M]

Are you sure they're phasing them out or are they just randomly on clearance? I really, really hope it's the latter as I have several pairs myself (and owned them in the maternity version, too). I do also like the Express editor pants, though.

[dancingirl21]

Gahhhh! I have 3 pairs of these and love them. Damn.

[t]

I still have editor pants from ten-ish years ago. Love them! Give those a try.

[pippa]

Try Banana Republic Sloan fit or Martin fit. If you do the Sloan, then look for the trouser fit. They have a million skinny versions but one trouser cut. I really like them. I'm 5'4" and they fit right, so I bought one in regular length for heels and one in short for flats. No need to hem, which was perfect.

I just bought 2 pairs of these this weekend. I did find it annoying how many different fits and legs were offered. Then once I figured out the best combination (modern and trouser) they of course didnt have my size in the color I wanted so I had to go to another location. But I paid $20 for each pair so I guess I can't complain too much.

[formerlyllizzyb]

AT Loft might be worth a try?

[gingerjar]

The editor pants from express are fantastic! Try those

[booboo173]

I really hope they are not as I love these pants, and skinny cut is not exceptable in every work place. With that banana has some good cuts that I get at the outlet

[thebreakfastclub]

They are still selling Modern Boot, but they have reworked the fit. It must be a bad update because the new styles all have one star ratings and tons of complaints. Hopefully they will bring back the original fit.

[arch01]

Another vote for Banana Republic, especially if you have an outlet nearby.

[nextbigthing]

Gah! Looks like they did the same thing with the premium trousers too! I'm super tall and they're the only ones I've found that are super long! I could cry.

I didn't notice bc of my pregnancy, I quickly ordered another maternity pair of the same pants.

This is terrible

[pinotgrig]

BR has some good pants, like a pp said.

My newest fave is a pair of Calvin kleins I found at macys (or maybe dillards?). They're a slimmer cut than I normally wear but are super flattering. I work in a very conservative office and wouldn't hesitate to wear them.

[badtzmaru22]

I used to only buy Express Editor pants, but they sucked the past few times I tried them, so I've officially switched my allegiance to the Limited Exact Stretch.

[stacyb1983]

I like the Halogen brand work pants they sell at nordstroms. There always included in the big anniversary sale nordstroms does twice a year.

I have curvy hips and they fit well and are very flattering.

[sunshine608]

Worthington by JCP or Loft when they have them on sale ( which despite all their "sales", doesn't often include dress pants).

I like skinny pants too, but what are you supposed to wear with boots/in the winter.

[leonard131]

LOFT-  Julie is their "curvy" style.
