Good skinny black pants
Permalink Closed

None of my skinny black pants fit well enough anymore. Can anyone recommend a pair that is stretchy, but won't sag in the knees and bum by lunchtime?

I am looking for mainly cotton but not knit/ponte, and I need pockets. (At least front or back, not necessarily both.)

Midrange/mall store price point - Margiela's pants are great, but they aren't in the budget. I was thinking BR, but I don't see anything on their site that's truly skinny other than leggings; Ann Taylor ditto. Gap has a cute pair but alas no pockets.

Size 6 if TTS - would possibly go smaller for a really skinny fit. Ankle inseam, I guess.

Kthx.

The Martin Skinny at BR have gotten great reviews all over the place. I haven't tried them yet, but will soon (one of my 2 favorite pairs of black pants has just about bit the dust, so...)

 



They are $90.

Dry clean.
Imported.

overview
Fit: Sits below the waist. Straight through the hip and thigh.
Inseams: Short: 31", Regular: 33", Long/Tall: 36".

YESSS get them! I have two pairs and love both.  I always receive compliments.  If you want ankle length, get "regular" as I am 5'4" and regular fit me in a cropped-ish way.  I bought "tall" length for the days when I want a bit of bunching.

Also, re the price, BR has been running a lot of 40% and 30% promotions lately and they're often available on ebay.

 

The site's styling does not do them justice.  Some better pics:

Aww yeah. The BR photo is horrific - these photos help a TON.

Welp, plan B happened - I went to H&M and found two pairs for cheap, one ankle, one full length. At least I won't feel bad if I go up or down a size and dump them.
