well I prefer pants but when I worked in an office we had a jr executive fella that implented a dress code and we women were all like wth ? he put it in a memo that all the women who worked on his floor he insisted that the women should look like women and none of those women said anything . I told one of the girls that worked on our floor I would quit if I had to go back to panty hose and skirts or dresses . I worked on a very casual floor and my boss could have cared less what I wore as long as it was clean ....LOL but I do prefer pants because they are more comfortable and there are alot of churches now that have relaxed dress codes .

I'm pretty sure that women look like women even when they're wearing pants. What a maroon.

That's when I'd send out my own memo that women expected to wear skirts to look feminine stems from religious beliefs that women don't wear pants and men do and that I was athiest and that his little rule impinged on my amendment rights and that if he pressed us to wear skirts or dresses that I'd be reporting him to someone higher.
I rarely wore skirts aside from fancy events until the past few years. Now, it's rare to see me in pants around the office.
Why? I find that a pencil skirt is far more flattering and professional-looking on me than pants.
I've been moving more towards pencil skirts as well lately... I have a fairly big 'hip to knee' ratio and slacks tend to just hang off of my hips and make me look bigger than I really am. At 6'1, that isn't really a good thing.
So, pencil skirts that hug the hips and knees just make my silhouette look nicer.

Is there a difference between the type of women who wear pants VS women who wear skirts/dresses?
I was going to post this in a different place such as Psychology or Relationships, but then I thought it would probably be more appropriate here.
Anyway, I would appreciate any thoughts or opinions on this. Thanks.
I believe there is a psychological component to this question of the pants woman compared to the dress and skirt woman.
In my childhood, teens and early 20s (the 60's 70s and 80s) it appeared to my young mind that women who were strong and independent, in charge of their own lives so to speak mostly wore pants. Women who wore pants were often looked at as more "practical" more "in charge"
My view on this has evolved, though. With the advent of cell phones, Automobile Club, mother's helpers, On Star and a host of other services and companies that lend help and support to women, it is not necessary to wear pants to project power, or even to get practical things done. Power is also a woman being able to summon the help you want or need with a tablet, cell phone and credit card in age we find ourselves in now.
Women in dresses and skirts as more delicate and religious? I suppose it depends on the culture, the setting or the society. I myself have attended functions wearing very beautiful feminine dresses and skirts and..while there I sipped bourbon on the rocks. To me, stereotypes exist to be dispatched with.
If you like jersey knit pencil skirts, gap.com is having a bit of a sale on them in a bunch of different colors.
No more shopping for me. Just splurged on an awesome purse. . And a few more things. I did get a great knit midi length pencil skirt on sale by Vince Camuto. It would be perfect for you Jet. It hit me a little past the knee so it should be the perfect knee length for you. And it was 2 layers of knit so it hangs nicely.
I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.
