The Perfect Denim Pants + Outfit Ideas

I am back with another wardrobe essential blog post! If there's one thing that I think everyone must have in their wardrobe, it's a pair of black denim pants. I bought these from Oak and Fort, and they are one of my favorite pants to wear. What I love about them is that I can wear them both for both casual and semiformal events. I am someone who has a hard time adding a lot of color to my wardrobe, so I always end up buying neutral colors. I think every girl should own at least one pair of black jeans because you can pair them with almost any other color. Black is one of those colors where you can't go wrong when it comes to mixing and matching. For this outfit, as much as I wanted to incorporate more colors, I ended up going monochromatic haha. But, I wanted to show you how you can style black denims with formal wear and casually! :)

How to style black jeans for casual looks

I think black pairs really well with a white top, but you can't go wrong with adding any other color with it. I am wearing an off the shoulder white top that I also bought from Oak and Fort. These denim pants have some asymmetry going on at the cuffs, so I wanted to include that for my top as well to go with it. I also completed the look with a pair of black boots which I think showcased the assymetrical bottom a little better. You can also pair these pants with a crop top or a plain tshirt as well and it would still look cute. I think balck denims are so effortless and you don't need to overthink how to pair it well, especially if you're someone who is always on the go. One colder days, you can throw on a coat to complete the look!

How to style black jeans for semiformal looks

Black denims are not limited to casual wear but can easily be styled for more polished occasions as well. I wore this white tweed jacket which created a semiformal look. This kind of outfit works perfectly for events that call for business casual or for settings where the dress code isn’t overly strict but still leans refined. If you're going to an event that's business casual or doesn't require anything too formal, I think this would be perfect. Black denim, in particular, is one of my go-to choices in these situations because it naturally has a sleeker, more tailored appearance compared to lighter washes. You can also pair it with a blazer or any kind of button up shirt. If you're job isn't super strict on work attire, black denim becomes an easy staple piece that pairs seamlessly with almost any top while still keeping you polished and put together.

If you're looking for the perfect wardrobe staple that goes with any outfit, I would suggest investing in a pair of black denims. They are versatile and timeless!
