Black trousers are a crucial item to any fashionista’s closet.  They are such a good base item that can be styled and accessorized in so many ways.  I have about 5 pairs of black trousers and don the look at least 3 times a week. 
If you are a 9 to 5 gal, they are the perfect transition piece from day to play.  Switch your blazer for a leather jacket and you have a perfect happy hour outfit. 
Here are some of my favorite ways to style black trousers:

    I love my J.crew mini pants, but I like these Gap options!

    Black pants are a must in any wardrobe–I personally love them ankle-length and skinny!

    I love this post and couldn't agree more on black trousers being a staple. I try and get a pair every season with whatever silhouette is trendy at the time…of course I have skinnies and tuxedo trousers that are timeless as well. xo

    J.Brand "shadow" skinnies are my go to. Perfect staple to be dressed up or dressed down and there's a fit for everyone!

    Love your blog.
