Black Pants

Women's black pants

Black pants are the pair every working wardrobe is built around. They go with every top you own, they read as formal without trying, and they hide a long day. Forcast black pants come in tailored, wide leg, bootleg, flared, skinny and cropped cuts, in sizes 4 to 18.

Choosing a black pant

For a classic office trouser, look at the Nikki Tailored Pants, the Annalee Classic Pants or the Merid Tailored Pants. The Safira High-Waist Trousers sit higher and lengthen the leg. The Rumy Wide Leg Tailored Pants are the fuller option, the Thea Bootleg Pants add shape at the hem, and the Emily High-Waisted Skinny Pant is the narrowest. The Stella Tall Trousers are cut longer in the leg; the Josie 2 Cropped Notch Pants finish shorter.

Wearing black pants

Black pants take colour and pattern on top without competing. Pair them with a printed shirt from shirts and blouses, a fine knit top, or a black blazer from work jackets and blazers for a suit without the set. They work equally well with flats, loafers and heels.

Fit and fabric

Tailored styles are cut in suiting blends with a little stretch, so they hold their shape and recover after sitting. Adjustable and elastic waist versions give more ease. Measurements are on the size guide. For the second colour most wardrobes need, see navy pants, or browse all pants. Returns and exchanges are accepted within 30 days, online or in any store.
