Favorite Black Pants

[SarFarSuperstar]

So I only own two pairs of black pants and neither is particularly flattering. One has a super high waist- so 1982, and the other slips down all the time for some reason. Since I''m in the market for a new pair, what are y''alls favorite brands of black pants?

i don't have a 'brand' that i like particularly, i don't like jcrew or banana at all for pants, banana in particular i can't stand, as they are so not flattering to me....i tend to just buy something that ends up fitting right and looks good and if i can get two pairs, i do.

my pairs i have now, one is theory, one is tahari for more dressy and then i have some BCBG i think and also charlotte pants for me the black i can dress up or down but it's casual material. and i have a few pairs of flowing black gauchos that i just pick up here and there.

Hands down without a doubt Theory, they make the most glorious pants. The cut, the styles and the fabric are exceptional. I think I have 8 - 10 pairs. I know that I have several pairs in the same style because I loved them so much. They are classic.

I love the limited pants (cassidy cut). They fit me SO well.

The most flattering black pant I''ve ever gotten was by DKNY. Light wool with a little bit of stretch to them in a cute crop leg with tiny black sequins around the waist- great for dressing up or daily wear to the office. I''m not at all hip-y so these pants fit right and don''t have extra room in the hip to make me look like I have saddlebags for thighs. The worst cut for my shape is made by Old Navy- just way too big and cut too hip-y. I think Old Navy is good for women who are more pear-shaped.

I got some really cute ones from Guess recently! Slim low-aisted fit, and a cute butt! Reasonably priced as well...

roppongi.....do Theory pants run true to size? I have been eyeing a pair Theory Tessie trouser jeans on the Nordstrom website.....

Mightyred, yes, they are true to size. Infact all of my pants are either a 0 or 2 so they run pretty consistent with their sizes. You will not regret buying them, they are awesome.

HI:

Those would be my black Prada slacks before I shrank them (dam lycra is unforgiving once heated....)...I love their fit--low rise and straight cut....

cheers--Sharon

I really like INC pants from Macy''s or Bloomingdales. They usually have a good selection of basic black pants.
