If you can see your ankles, its back to the drawing board
Different & Delightful = Different & Delightful
When you swap the I will say this, though
Fabric behavior rules I follow If the fabric is too soft, the placket waves and the collar collapses If the fabric is too stiff, the skirt stands and looks heavy If the fabric has low recovery, the elbow and waist bag out fast Recommended fabric ranges by price tier Shrinkage and color are not small details Poplin and twill can shrink and twist if the finishing is not stable Dark colors in cotton can fade faster if dye and wash are not controlled Denim needs shade control across lots, or reorders look different What are the biggest fit and construction risks, and how do I control them
So what if I told you its possible that, with the right pair, you can have perfect, corporate-ladder-climbing office style AND still be able to wear them comfortably and more casually outside of work
