How To Get Extra Mileage Out Of Your Work Pants

For those who've accrued a pretty substantial office wardrobe, your closet may look like it has an imaginary line drawn down the middle: business clothes on one side, party-wear on the other. Sure, this division can make dressing on weekday mornings a breeze, but if you're skipping over your work staples come the weekend, your off-duty look is brimming with untapped potential. Fashioning 9-to-5 pieces for date night isn't our usual go-to style play, but that's about to change.

To start, we're taking classic Kit and Ace work trousers and spinning them into five OOO ensembles, from dinner with the parents to a speakeasy cocktail night. Not only are we maxing out our investment office pieces, but we're adding infinite outfit combinations to our arsenal. Didn't think your work slacks could do this? Well, think again.
