Old Faithful

Sometimes its about staples. Not the bold print, the cutting hemline, its about the perfect base that fits beautifully, and never lets you down. Today that is the black ankle pant. Not a legging, not a jean, a fitted, structured, black ankle pant.

Bloomingdale's, Vince Camuto Straight Ankle Pants, $74

It's not shocking that Vince Camuto makes a stunning pair of black pants. This pair is simple perfection.

Nordstrom, T Tahari Marlena Ankle Pant, $78

Look at these great long lines. Clean and simple.

Old Navy, Pixie Mid-Rise Ankle Pant, $29

You don't have to spend a bundle to get a great pair of pants. I love Old Navy pixie pants.

Macy's, Michael Kors Skinny Ponte Knit Pant, $57

A little bit of ponte adds the perfect amount of stretch with structure.

While I love talking about dots, stripes, florals, and color blocking, sometimes you just need a great pair of black pants. These four won't do you wrong.
