How To Wear: The Skinny Pant.

Skinny pants are a winter essential this year. Great for Back To Work Wear.

Your wardrobe needs a black skinny pant but prints are a fun choice too. To find your most flattering pair of skinny (or cigarette) pant, follow these rules:

- The fabric shouldn’t be too shiny. Wool viscose or matte taffeta which moves with the body are your best bet.

- Avoid pleating and pockets if you have wide hips.

- Look for a style that sits flat at the front and back and doesn’t add bulk.

- They should skim, not hug the leg.

Paula, can you do a segment on the best black cigarette leg pant? I have been looking for the perfect black pant (seams like forever) and just can not find it

Hi Karen, very simple just plain black flat fronted with false side pockets so no added bulk and best of all 7/8 length which is full length on vertically challenged me! I think they will be a wardrob staple

Seriously, $400-$500 for a pair of pants is just ludicrous. Even if i could afford to spend that on pants, I wouldn’t on principle. Love your ideas, Paula, but could we have some more reasonable examples for those of us not willing or able to spend that much?
