13 Best Black Work Pants for Women, According to Editors and *Glowing* Reviews
Because going back to the office IRL is already hard enough.
If the pandemic taught me anything, it's that comfortable pants >>> everything. Now that many of us are back at an office (whether hybrid, full-time, or just for the occasional meeting), there's a good chance you've been forced to wear real pants and put together work outfits once again. And I get it—after so long of living in leggings and the comfiest sweatpants, I still feel a little rusty getting dressed for the office, even now. Luckily for us corporate baddies, the genius invention of black work pants is here to make life easier as the bread and butter of any office ensemble.
Black work pants are the chameleons of office wear and pack a sophisticated punch that your favorite jeans could never. Not to mention, they transition from your desk to happy hour with little to no effort at all—and can even be dressed up or down on weekends. So, whether you want to go full-on plazacore with a tailored blazer or keep it super casual with an oversized tee and sneakers, consider black trousers the MVP of your work wardrobe.
