At some point midway through the fury of figuring out what one is to wear at this in-between juncture of Not Rly a Season (or at a minimum being wishy washy about committing this way or that), I amassed a selection of black pants.

Most without a zip and fly (with honorable mentions to the outliers: All Three’s

Spade

and

Noa

— the latter of which has possibly been my most worthy investment of the season) —

Rixo

jacket (mine’s a size 4, and so fab with

a choker scarf

, but for sure

this [jkt]

is the one you’re going to want),

All Three

polo (but

Donni’s henley

be good here too),

All Three

pants, Gabriela Hearst sandals, Dior bag (

Savette’s

is a great alt),

Orzo

choker scarf — fishhook earrings are

here

. I love them styled with

my ear cuff

And

Aflalo’s tried and true Tavi pant

—

She’s coming

in pink

soon (!!!). But for the black, the white stitching really breaks up the black and makes

them

a more versatile compliment to other dark colors (styled here with an

Unsubscribed

knit and

Marisa Klass

pearls). I have to say though, I cannot wait for

the pink pair

to land. Think they are delivering next week.

— so they’re (the other pants) seamless and easy to roll down into low rise pants to wear now with a cropped tee/

jacket

or

something tunic-y,

cleanly hanging over.

After the Parisian parade of color at Dior, with the slivers of it that tugged at me from Hermes and Celine too, I’m ready for a vibrant stretch of style that tests our limits with various brights (they can feel elegant, timeless, etc) but between now and then, I maintain that you can exercise a good deal of creativity without it too.

A breakdown below of 8 different pair, styled and ranked for your get-into-the-uniform-and-get-on-with-it’s pleasure.
