There is nothing chicer in my opinion than a gorgeous pair of dressy black wide leg pants. They are timeless, and elegant, and have the power to elevate any outfit!
One of my favorite things about them is just how wearable they are for women of all ages. Wide leg pants are perfect for the office, date night, church, special events, and the holiday party season! They can be dressed up or down easily and effortlessly with outerwear, jewelry, and accessories.
I love pairing dressy wide leg pants with a tailored blazer and blouse or camisole underneath. They’ll also look amazing with a knit sweater, sequin top, or a beautiful turtleneck, depending on the occasion.
As a petite woman (under 5’4”) I have found it difficult to find black wide leg pants that are flattering and don’t have to be hemmed. Last year I purchased my first pair of Spanx pants and quickly fell in love. This fall I invested in a couple more styles and am officially obsessed! I bought the most gorgeous pair of dressy black wide leg pants that I can’t wait to pair with my blazer, sequin tops, and sweaters and that’s just the beginning! I intend on wearing them throughout the year, especially during the holiday season.
Today, I’m excited to share 12 gorgeous pairs of dressy black wide leg pants in a variety of styles and price ranges! I hope you love them as much as I do.
