Do you prefer skirts or dress pants?  This was the question a good friend asked me while shopping together at a Banana Republic Outlet store this past weekend.

Honestly, I hadn’t really thought about my professional wardrobe in these terms before.  I mean, I own a few skirts, but if I think hard about it, most of my skirts are for winter and fall outfits.  Am I alone?

In thinking about the suspected hot summer ahead, which would you rather be wearing?

Banana Republic has so many adorable skirts like the Taupe Lightweight Wool Pencil Skirt (left), Dark Rise Denim Patch-Pocket Skirt (middle), and the Heritage Ikat Skirt (right).

But, then there are also classy dress pants.  Dress pants cover the whole leg which means you don’t have to think about shaving or nylons. A yellow belt looks great with a pair of Banana Republic Martin Fit Charcoal Lightweight Wool Trouser pants (left).  A pair of spring-colored shoes really pop with a pair of Logan Fit Cotton Wide-Leg pants (center).  And black pants like Banana Republic’s Sloan Fit Flare (right) are so versatile for dressing up.

If I had to choose between skirts and pants it really might depend on the weather, what I have to wear on top (shirt and accessories) and how warm it is outside.
