Rarely do my black (cropped, tapered) trousers stay at home when I travel. They pretty much go (and work!) everywhere, and this proved true last Saturday night, when I wore them out to dinner at the Waverly Inn in New York. It was a rainy and cold evening--and my pants stood up to the (damp-to-toasty-chic) conditions perfectly, along with this black embellished Topshop sweater and these Gianvito Rossi black pumps. Of course, we all know that black pants are slimming, flattering and universally appropriate--the ultimate wardrobe workhorse--but the really excellent ones are also strangely and frustratingly elusive. Which may explain why I've been wearing the same Zara do-it-all pair for years now! Still, I managed to sleuth out some new compelling options, as I'm selfishly wanting a back-up or two, and found these standouts from Vika Gazinskaya (similar to above), Vince, Etro, The Kooples, 3.1 Phillip Lim, J. Crew, Zara, and Burberry Brit.
It's as festive as a fancy frock but has the laid-back ease of a t-shirt. Genius in my book.

In walked my sister last night for a casual Sunday family dinner, wearing a wintry outfit, comprised of a big, cozy turtleneck, slouchy menswear-inspired trousers, and sporty sneakers. The outside temperature didn't warrant a turtleneck, but she had just come from a freezing movie theater and, yes, she was eager to bust out her new winter uniform. I am too, and I'd like to break it in with this look from Asos.
The basic white top gets a little twist with some twist detailing. Nice!
