Suddenly, Everyone Is Wearing This Pant & Shoe Combo!

Remember when black pants were a wardrobe staple? For many years, when I wasn’t wearing jeans, I would turn to a great pair of black pants — and at one point, I couldn’t imagine my fashion life without them! Then one day, they started feeling dated, and denim took over, and that was that. So, last year when I read this Town & Country article about the “cult favorite” pants that everyone was talking about, I was immediately curious and knew they would make it into my wardrobe at some point.

Well now it’s official, the kick flare pant that was once dated is back! That’s right, every fashion girl is wearing this elevated pant trend. After reading this recent Who What Wear article “It’s Spreading: Every Day, Another Chic L.A. Fashion Person Is Seen Wearing This Black-Pant Trend With Ballet Flats,” I decided it’s time to get on board! From Paris to NYC to LA, this super easy and effortlessly chic outfit is one we all need to copy — ASAP.

Today’s post is all about how to style flare pants in a modern way, and the pant & shoe combo everyone is wearing. I’m highlighting black pants that I highly recommend, including the Vince Pintuck ones that fit so nicely. And, since I just ordered the High Sport pants that everyone is talking about, I’m including my personal review. Keep reading for some street style inspo and a few styling ideas that perfect for spring and summer. I hope you find this helpful!

Lately I’m seeing gently oversized blazers everywhere, and this one is a personal favorite — and petite friendly as well

 

The Black Pants I Highly Recommend

 

#1 – The “cult favorite” High Sport knit pant – These fitted pull-on trousers are everything the reviews say. Comfortable, super flattering and versatile. They are expensive due to the Italian fabric and beautiful workmanship, but if you wear them all the time, then I’d say they’re worth the splurge.  For reference, I purchased a small in the short option and they’re the perfect length. But, since they’re stretchy, I’m considering sizing down to an XS. For an affordable option, look at these J.Crew ones.

#2 – Vince Pintuck pants – Vince is always a great option, and these Italian cotton-wool stretch pants fit nicely and work with everything from a travel outfit to a night out (add a strappy sandal). I took a size small for reference, and had them shortened.

#3 – Frame Jetset pants This travel jean is designed without hardware for extra comfort, making them perfect for airplane travel. These pants are more casual than the other two, and I find them to be even stretchier. There are many options between a long length flare and cropped version. I wear the size 1 and they seem to hold their stretch. Check them all out here,  and use my code SUSIE15 for 15% off your order.
