I grew up in a household where a nice pair of black slacks drew endless accolades. Packing for a trip? Heading out for dinner? Dressing for a job interview? As far as my mother was concerned, when it comes to wearing black pants, you simply cannot go wrong—particularly when pairing them with a chic blazer or an on-trend leather jacket.
As it turns out, my mum is in good company. All sorts of covetable black pants are clogging up my feed, from tailored trousers to cargos to slimmer cigarette styles. If you are partial to Parisian style, you’ll be happy to know that three of my favorite French follows—Sylvie Mus, Salome Mory, and Anne-Laure Mais—are here with some very chic, easy-to-copy black-pant looks, complete with blazer and leather jacket ideas that are perfect for your fall rotation. Typical of French style, these six outfits are a little bit classic, a little bit trendy, and guaranteed to get you through any ambiguous dress codes this fall.
There’s nothing chicer than classic black suiting, especially when paired with low-key flats. The addition of an on-trend tote is making the whole look very cool and commute-friendly. What more can we ask for, really?
