They say the black pant is a wardrobe staple, and I must say, I can't do without mine. It goes with everything and is appropriate anywhere. From sneakers to heels, day to night to weekend. It is that versatile. My black pants are a cropped, cuffed and tapered pair, right above the ankle (see above). I got them from Express. They are fitted without being tight and the proportion works for me, as I can wear heels and flats without worrying about the issue of pants length. As a matter of fact all my pants are of this style. One less thing I have to think about - what heel height to wear with what pair of pants. And while black can be harsh to wear close to the face for some, this is not an issue with pants. I have two other colors of this particular pant from Express, as I loved the way they fit, and received numerous complements to that effect. Since I know this shape works for me, whichever stores sell this style will get my business. As fit, fabric and proportion is queen. Who cares what brand they are. I just want them to be of good quality so they last. And an added bonus if they can be washed (delicate cycle) instead of dryclean. SOLD!
Btw, I'm not including leggings in the category of black pants. Leggings are a wardrobe staple, but the jury is out on whether they qualify as pants. I know some may disagree, but since my work dress code does not include leggings as pants, then I plan my wardrobe accordingly. Thanks.
