Ladies Work Trouser Phenomenon

The 21st century has seen a change in ‘stay at home’ mums with the increasing pressure to make ends meet. With us all spending an average of 48 hours in work each week why not look your best and keep up to date with the latest trend in work wear.

As an ever-increasing amount of women take to the work trouser and trouser suit how did we get here from a century ago, when prescribed sartorial propriety for women meant torsos had to be trussed up in corsets and bare flesh kept to an absolute minimum. But when did women move from the dress/skirt to the trouser? Well during the 20th century when women began to wear trousers it became the most important fashion phenomenon. Even going as far back as during the period of WW2 due to the rationing of clothing, women began to wear their husband’s trousers for work whilst they were away in the armed forces. Trousers began to be seen as a practical garment of work wear.

Now you have every magazine from Vogue who loves the news M&S collection to Look online writing articles and promoting the 2010 ladies trouser. Gap has just launched their new 2010 work trousers range which has gone down a storm in the states revolutionising Gaps ‘casual Friday’ wear to ‘7 days a week dressing’.

Here at J & N Herz we are getting in an assortment of ex M&S Ladies Work Trousers. A timeless edition to every working ladies wardrobe. A great way to mix comfort with professionalism and keep up with the 2010 work wear trends.
