You have a pair of black pants that fit perfectly.
What are you likely to wear with them this season?
What is your style if you had to wear those black pants of any style?
It's a good way for us to get a mental picture of one another's style.

I'll go first. I'm likely to wear a fitted turtleneck of something like washable silk and a fitted vest, a menswear vest.

This makes my style "classic with a twist."

What's your style. I'll name it if you tell me what you'd wear!

How about you?

I would wear a large, long shirt that covers my ever-expanding butt. My style would be "classic hideaway".

Sorry, Dancer, couldn't resist! It's hard for me to feel stylish when I am at this weight... But I still have my sense of humor.

I have a few shirts with collars -- long sleeved either bracelet length or to the wrist. Actually shirts, with buttons, and darts so that they're fitted, in soft rayon, jewel colors as I've said before -- teal, magenta, garnet, a yellowy olivey green and also chocolate brown and black. I also like to wear interesting cardigan sweaters -- a light brown with black stitching and square black buttons, a multicolored blue and violet, a red felted wool jacket-like sweater with a bit of embroidery, a fitted teal flecked with brown with a zipper, a deep blue alpaca scoop-neck with a collar

Looks like Dolfin dresses "California comfortable!" It makes sense, Dolfin, not to cover your "butt," but to leave that shirt out and stay cool. Arizona dressing is a lot like that. Dolfin, do you were jewelry with those mythical black pants? Are your black pants denium, Dolfin?

DJ, you would be conservative yet artistic. Your color changes and jewel tones would make your clothing style rich with color and with the look. A cardigan is so very hot right now so far as fashion. With or without a belt, they are very "in." Is that why you wear them or have you always worn them? Are your black pants fitted or loose fit?

Very interesting, two different takes on one pair of black pants.

My two pair of black pants are the staple in my wardrobe. I would be lost without them.

I wear sweaters usually a cardigan or loose fitting blouses some fancy, some conservative, usually hanging on the outside.
I am all for comfort these days.

My pants are fitted. I used to wear belts but my daughter made me quit doing so. I've never had a weight problem, but now that I'm sitting on my butt because of this broken leg, I imagine that could change.
I've always loved cardigans and can remember a time during the 80s when I was looking for one, and the sales people looked at me like I was nuts. They didn't even know what one was!
I do dress somewhat conservatively, but my clothes don't go out of style (as far as I can tell, that is wink ). I've always had a hard time finding pants that fit -- I'm short waisted and my legs are long.
Fortunately, I have several pairs of pants with wide enough legs that I can put them on over my cast (which by the way is black -- goes with all my clothes!)

Not counting gym wear or sweats, I have 9 pairs of black pants. I wear them with everything. wink

I must have at least 10 pairs of black pants -- summer, winter, crops, etc. They are truly my wardrobe staple. Today's version: black pants with a black-and-white tweed long cardigan and a red top. (It's very blustery today, like lose your wig off blustery!)

I keep it simple: silver jewelry and black shoes.
I do have some brown and blue, but black is my staple.

I am branching out a bit with shoes: just ordered some silver ones and some red ones, so there's some additional color.

Wow! Black pants dominate!
I would say we have casual consevative here with the exception of Meredith whom I know would dress concervative only with a gun to her head and then I don't know!

Red under the cardigan is saying, "look here, here is the power!" It's a great thing.

Chatty, black pants are the most versital in Vegas and for a former showgirl, they are a staple.

Ralph Laren cuts for short waists, DJ, and leaves length on most pants. You might try his if you have not. Remember he has several lines so try the first couple before you say "non"

Your inseam compared to your height is where it is at, ladies. And DJ, that you have a black cast is blowing my mind and I respect that choice tremendously. How chic can you get? No pink for you!

Yonuh, what would you wear with black pants? You are my bohemian dresser!

Does anyone where ethnic prints with their black pants?

Does anyone wear a belt around their cardigan on the outside? That is O SO CHIC right now.

HA! You definitely know my fashion profile! laugh

The black pants are a staple because I have so many bright or patterned tops.

I also have a lot of ethnic print pants -- elastic waist, elastic ankles, and full shape -- that go with my solid tops.

Everything, of course, with my gorgioso jewelry.

I used to have lots of belts back in the days when I had a tiny waist and sheet metal stomach. Those days are just fond memories now...
