You know why black pants have such great appeal? They look pretty unassuming themselves, but they can both anchor a look and add an oomph to it. This is precisely why these charming, unpretentious trousers have been such a constant in men’s wardrobes through the decades. They can be anything you want them to be.

Do you need a base to balance out the colors in the rest of your outfit? Black trousers can do that. Do you need something to add a hint of brooding charisma to an otherwise casual outfit? Black trousers can do that. Do you need something that can be a part of both your summer and winter outfits?

Black outfits can do that too. They are pretty much like the magic element of your wardrobe – they look like a timeless classic, and they are one for a reason. You just have to know when you can let them become the base of the look, and when you want them take centre-stage.

So, if you want to find out some of the best ways to style your black trousers – look no further because we have curated some of the best outfits that experiment with black trouser for you.

Today, I've curated 5 black pants outfits for you from one of my favourite fashion blogger's Instagram account. And I think you are going to love them.

Outfit 1. Black pants + White crew neck tee + Black & White vertical stripe shirt + White sneakers.  

For a simple, concerted summer look, pair your black trousers with a simple white tee, white sneakers and striped shirt. The only thing that you have to keep in mind when layering an overshirt, is that you do not want an overshirt that is noticeably shorter than your base t-shirt.

Keep the shirt and t-shirt at the same height, and do not let the tee hang too loose on you if you are layering. Black trousers can be worn with a number of different stripes, whether it is the narrower Bengal stripes like the blue ones here, or the wider Regency stripes.

Outfit 2. Black pants + Long sleeve stripe t-shirt + white sneakers.

See what we mean when we say that black trousers look phenomenal with a number of different stripes? They can work very well with horizontal stripes as well, even though they are really difficult to style. 

The longer sleeves of the simple t-shirt here add a serenity to the pattern, and the white sneakers make the whole outfit look concerted. With horizontal stripes, it is safest to go with well-ironed tees, so that the shirt looks balanced. Keep the accessories minimal with this look.

Outfit 3. Black pants + White crew neck tee + Camel long coat + White sneakers. 

Crew neck tees in solid color and black trousers are a match made in heaven. Both these elements are in solid colors and they can really hold the look together while keeping it clean. See the balance between the white crew neck t-shirt and the black trousers?

Of course, the simple white sneakers also help the neatness of this classic summer outfit. The little red embroidery on the tee adds a pop of color that contrasts with the rest of the outfit. The star of the look, however, is the long beige overcoat, which immediately adds a touch of elegance to the look without making it too heavy.

Outfit 4. Black pants + Pastel yellow sweater + White sneakers. 

Here’s another timeless combination – a simple, elegant sweater and black trousers. Now, black trousers allow for a lot of different color combinations through the rest of the elements of your outfit.

But nothing quite like a solid, pastel yellow sweater to bring out the charm of the outfit. Make sure that you go for something with a finer knit instead of a chunky sweater, especially if you are going for fitted black trousers like these. Keep the socks in a simple gray so that they don’t contrast too much with either your sneakers or your trousers.

Outfit 5. Black pants + Black sweater + Black long coat + Black sneakers.

For our final piece, we have the ever-charming and ever-elegant, all black look. All black looks have been around for a really long while– about two centuries. Because they are such a perfect balance of formal and charming, black overcoats pair perfectly with black sweatshirts.

However, sweatshirts often tend to be a little loose on the fit, which you do not want because you are going to be layering it with an overcoat. So go for a sweatshirt that sits comfortably on you, without disrupting the fall of the coat, or the fit of its sleeves. Pair it with simple black sneakers.
