What are your go-to chinos and dress slacks for business casual attire? Looking to upgrade my wardrobe for eventual hybrid return to office. Most of the chinos I try on could serve as mainsails on a seagoing vessel ⛵️

I have bonobos and really like them

Do they still put that terrible looking silver button on them though?

I have slacks from express and get them when they have 50% off sales. Usually wear nice jeans though in dark colors

Lululemon sells some really nice pants that have stretch to them. Forget what they’re called but they’re awesome.

That’s the one. The commission. They look like dress pants but can also be used more casually. They’re fantastic.

I really think just upgrading to have multiple pairs of very nice dark jeans is the coverall for the more casual office wear.

I do like that and was doing it before COVID but I still want 1-3 pair of dress slacks on emergency standby while. I’m also starting a new job where I don’t k or the in-office culture yet and that might not be the norm yet.

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

I am a woman who has been working as a tech PE investor for 8 months now, and have been feeling extremely discouraged by my experiences in this sector so far. I regularly get mistaken as the “administrative assistant” in meetings and email chains, have had things said to me by men such as “the only way you work in private equity is as a receptionist”, and have even been at networking events where men have literally grabbed my ass when no one was looking. Any advice on how to handle this?
