Take a Walk on the Dark Side with Black Pants

Fashion forward and sleek, black pants are a must-have for your stylish wardrobe. Whether you pair them with an office outfit or add them to your casual attire, this dark neutral sets an edgy tone to all your outfits.

Why slip into a simple blue jean or pale trouser when you can be bad in black? Here are a few ways to dress up your favorite shady pants.

Shorts

An old wives’ tale says you shouldn’t wear dark colors on warm weather days, but this doesn’t apply to black shorts. Go for ones that rest above the knee or fall slightly below for a hot look that leaves you ready to feel the heat.

Women: Pair lacy black shorts with a tunic and fedora for a beach-ready ensemble. Add a colorful slip-on sandal and aviators that stylishly protect your eyes.

Men: Stay crisp and wear a pale-hued polo with your black shorts. Slip on a pair of boat shoes and head to the shore for fun by the water.

Joggers

Gray sweatpants, though comfortable, often come off as too casual. Stay relaxed and still look polished by slipping on a pair of black joggers. They’re not as bulky and baggy as thicker sweatpants and have a slimming effect that makes your legs look leaner.

Women: Go for a funky streetwear look and pair your black joggers with a jean jacket, graphic tee and a bucket hat. Finish off the outfit with a pair of canvas sneakers.

Men: Opt for neutrals to complement your casual bottoms and add a gray T-shirt and a pair of white low-top kicks to your look.

Slacks

If you work in a corporate office or attend fancy elegant events, you need a pair of black pleated pants. When paired with polished tops and refined footwear, you can create looks that are both poised and classic.

Women: Opt for a cropped pleated black pant and pair it with a chiffon blouse and pointed pumps for a look that screams office chic.

Men: For an ensemble that impresses on date night, find a matching jacket for your black pleated pants and add a pressed white business shirt and leather brogues.

Once you go black with your trousers, you’ll never want to go back. Don’t limit yourself to colorful bottoms and unleash your dark side in black pants.
