Like with the “ugly” trends that tend to get our hearts racing, it’s fair to say “boring” deserves an updated definition in fashion, as well. Because while a solid choice of black trousers might not qualify as the most eye-catching part of my outfits, their comfortable fit, sleek appearance, and versatility make them a new best supporting star in my wardrobe.
I chose to test these out in an outfit combination I would normally wear for work, a patterned blazer and kitten heels; however, the slim fit of these could easily slip into a dress-over-pants combination or go much more casual with a hoodie and sneakers for a weekend look. And since the Cuyana pants are soft enough to be confused with leggings, they felt polished but not too stuffy. In fact, I had a hard time switching back into another go-to of mine that’s not quite as soft: rigid jeans.
Take a closer look at these new boring pants that I’ll be keeping in rotation from now on below, and then shop more mundane fashion pieces that are universal closet MVPs.
