Under the  “Relaxed” category, Armstrong champions the “elevated tracksuit pant, which has an elasticated waist but is otherwise cut like a traditional trouser,” naming our Satin Wide-Leg Track Pant as her favourite choice.
So what is the ‘relaxed’ workwear look exactly? “Your office (or home office) has no dress code, which means you can pretty much wear whatever you like. That doesn’t mean you shouldn't make an effort though. It’s still a workplace, so a degree of professionalism must be conveyed,” explains Armstrong. 

Crafted from double-sided and crease-free satin back crepe in a vivid jewel green tone, our Satin Wide-Leg Track Pant combines the smartness of a trouser with the comfort of loungewear. Contrasting stone side stripes reference classic sporty design, whilst working to visually elongate the legs. Meanwhile, an elasticated waist with drawcord ties allows you to adjust the fit for your comfort.

“I love ME+EM's side stripe trousers, which can be worn with a matching boyfriend-style blazer if you feel the need to look a bit more polished,” says Armtstrong. Indeed, to emphasise the ‘I mean business’ aspect of this trouser, it can be elevated with a smart shirt and our matching ‘Satin Twill Boyfriend Blazer’.
“Having worked from home for the past 16 months, we’re reluctant to let go of our loungewear,” concludes Armstrong. It looks like the ‘elevated tracksuit’ is here to stay then, thankfully offering many of us a more comfortable alternative to a starched collar and nylon tights.
