[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm asking for examples! Please send me examples of business casual outfits that are comfortable. I haven't been in an office environment for 15 years so I'm totally at a loss here.

In my current life, I wear lots of leggings and joggers with cute tees or sweatshirts. I also like midi and maxi skirts and dresses if they are not constricting at all (looser fit, elastic waist, long enough that I will not need to worry sitting down or riding a bike).

I went to try on work pants recently at a few stores (Madewell, Nordstrom, Loft, etc.) and was frustrated both by how they felt and how hard it was to find flattering pants for my late-40s body. When I sized up to a comfortable waist size, they just felt frumpy and voluminous. I don't have a huge waist, I'm a relatively small person, but I used to consistently wear a size 0 in pants and now it's more like a size 4, which just looks huge on my small frame.[/quote]

Unfortunately the trick for comfortable pants is finding the right cut for your body, which means you have to try a bunch.  I find Ann tay;or yo be a good place to look as they have a variety of cuts, some with more room in the waist than others.
