Today I went back to school shopping with my son.  While in the mall I took advantage of the time to check out all the different styles of jeans that are on display for the fall season.  I say for the fall because with our over 100 degree days not many people are trying to wear jeans right now, at least not in Fort Worth, Texas.

As I looked at the styles on the mannequins, I noticed that some would be very work appropriate while others, not so much.  With that in mind, here are 3 things to consider when selecting  jeans for work.

1. The Wash-  a dark rinse is polished enough for most settings

2. The Fit-body skimming, but not too tight, looks pulled together

3. The Style-the office isn’t the place to rock your trendier pairs of jeans.  Stick to classic jeans without embellishments.

For a good pair of jeans that look very nice for the workplace, try a pair of trouser jeans. They are my favorite!
