The JACQUARD set…A Hint of print. This is a great option for if you want to show a little character without causing too much of a splash with management. It's giving “I'm expressing myself and still compliant with dress code”  This set costs about $50-$60. IMPORTANT NOTE: They kind of hide the bottoms to the set a little so to make sure you get this actual set you want to make sure the pants are also titled as being 'Jacquard'
