September awaits. Or it’s lurking — depending on your POV. Either way, many of us have black pants on the brain. And many of us have been oooing and ahhing over the Tibi Meir pants — they were part of the Tibi try-on I did here. After which, you asked:

“what colors to put with big black pants ? What you showed here helped me - navy turtle, authoritative black trouser, olive/gray loafer. I have been having trouble « bridging » a black pant into an outfit and want to avoid all black, white top black bottom (always reminds me of a waiter) or bright top black pant black shoe (ugh). Thanks !”

Below, 6 ways to treat black pants minus the “uniform” vibe. Because props to servers, but we don’t need to be mistaken for one on our off-hours.

(oh, and before we get started, our current 5 favorite black pants this way, in case you’re interested.)
