You’re on the bus, train or car (or even on foot) to the office making your mandatory Tuesday through Thursday appearance. Maybe you muscle through the discomfort of making the trek in your work clothes, or maybe you choose the “lesser of the two evils”: traveling comfy and changing clothes when you get to work.
But fumbling around the tiny metal stall while holding a tumbler of coffee and a stack of papers isn’t too enchanting either — what you need are clothes that work as office and commute attire. We found 10 ultra-comfortable pants that you can wear from the subway to the office. That means they’re no squeezing, itching or riding up while you’re sitting on the train, mentally preparing for the day ahead.
See our top 10 picks that are both reliably comfy and professional. Just like Hannah Montana, you get the best of both worlds! Bonus: They’re all under $40!
