\u201cI just got my dream librarian job,\u201d wrote Valerie, a Cup of Jo reader. \u201cI need some pants (not jeans!) that I can move around in \u2014 squatting, bending, sitting on the floor. Any ideas?\u201d Yes! First, Valerie, congratulations! Librarians make the word go round, now more than ever, and they\u2019re lucky to have you. Here are a few options to wear among the stacks (and I\u2019m sure the comments will have good recs, too)\u2026<\/p>\n

Above is Madewell\u2019s patch-pocket pair<\/a>. Brown is a big color this fall and would be ideal for work, since, as Magnetic Fields frontman Stephin Merritt<\/a> once told me in an interview, \u201cBrown shows absolutely nothing. You\u2019d have to spill some fuchsia paint.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also Alex Mill\u2019s herringbone pair<\/a>, which I personally wear non-stop (including at Erika\u2019s book event<\/a> last week). The utility pockets are so good.<\/p>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Old Navy\u2019s uniform pants<\/a> look chic with a button-down.<\/p>\n

And these cuffed hems<\/a> are sooooo cute. Audrey Hepburn vibes.<\/p>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Everlane\u2019s cotton pants<\/a> have an easy, not-quite-barrel shape, and I like when pants come in colors that make an outfit pop.<\/p>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

These tailored ones<\/a> are also wrinkle resistant and come in six colors.<\/p>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Digging this wide-leg pair<\/a> with camp pockets! Love the olive green.<\/p>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

Finally, you could also try black jeans<\/a>, which feel dressier than blue.<\/p>\n

Thoughts? What pants would you recommend? I also love this belted pair<\/a>, and did you notice that almost all the outfits above are styled with ballet flats<\/a>? It\u2019s such a thing!<\/strong><\/p>\n

P.S. Readers share their gorgeous gardens<\/a> and what they love about their looks<\/a>.<\/p>\n
