    does anyone wear dancewear?

    I'm ogling Salsa and Latin Dresses, Tango, Club and Ballroom Dancewear at the moment ..wow these are really cute dresses. I like some of the pants too. Does anyone wear their melos with a sweater or something to work?

    What other dance wear separates do you wear on a daily basis?

    Those dresses look like they are clubbing dresses, not something more professional.

    I have had a job where I could and did wear my yoga pants. While it was nice, it also didn't help me to take my work very seriously.

    Now, on the weekends, I live in my yoga pants and melos!

    I used to wear wide-leg gauchos to work when I was working at a clothing store. I'd also wear a lot of tie-tops, the cropped ones over camis.

    I buy most of my yoga pants via American Apparel. Actually, through a screen printer in E-bay who sells their overstock for about half what you'd pay in the store. They are a little lighter in weight than VS's, but I like them.

    thats a great site! I love the pants section, thanks for sharing it!

    I used to wear my dance pants all day, but only on the days that I had class. They looked cute with a long shirt and fitted jacket I had.

    Re: does anyone wear dancewear?

    i love the dance pants look with T's :) was just looking at L Rose's selection of pants too..velvet jazz pants with wide legs would look really cute

    yeah i think i may order those Victoria secret wide leg yoga pants, there are some cute casual tops that would go well with them on the site

    i wish we had seasons here, would love to wear winter clothes:)

    was thinking Sharif wear may have some cute stuff too

    I have 2 pairs of Sharifwear pants that I do wear to work and I totally get away with it looking "professional" by pairing it with a nice sweater or top and heels.

    It's so comfortable and most people just think I have this great work wardrobe.

    I wear my wide leg palazzo pants to work, but not yoga pants or Melos. I do have a nice VS hoodie/yoga pant set that I have worn on holidays and such when this place is basically empty.

    I love jazz pants for workshops and class, but they are over the top for my office. I do wear wide legged pants, the crop pants, and the palazzos with cowboy boots during the colder NY weather - wish I was in Hawaii, Jess!

    Re: does anyone wear dancewear?

    There's a lot of cute stuff out there, but I rarely buy pants from these vendors because their clothes are sized for women who are 5'6" or shorter. I'm 5'10" and I now buy only pants from web sites that publish the inseam length AND make an inseam that is no less than 34 inches. (If the pants are flared, then I want 35 inches minimum.)

    I have a collection of Geisha Moth pants that were custom-made for me, and I love them because they're not only cute, they're LONG enough! Woo hoo!

    If anybody tries those VS Wide Leg Yoga Pants lemme know how it goes, at work I prefer to be comfy but jeans are outta the question.

    Hot dang! Those are nice.

    I wear my melos and similiar knockoffs to work with nice boots and such. Of course I work in the theatre. The kids in my afterschool arts ed classes think I'm pretty cool because of my dancewear!

    I bought a couple of the sexy Sharif-wear esque salsa pants that Lauren once recc-ed and I use them with my bedlehs quite a bit and also as clubbing gear.
