Do you ever feel like you’re on a never-ending hunt for that perfect pair of black pants? I did – until I found these.

These high-waisted pants check every box: comfortable (very important!), flattering, and cropped at just the right spot so they’re wearable with any shoe – flats, sneakers, heels, even boots! I took them with me to NYC last week (traveling is the ultimate test drive for a wardrobe staple), and while I only intended on wearing them one night, I ended up wearing them nearly every single day.

(It’s worth noting that they are quite wrinkle-resistant. Hardly a one, even after multiple wears! Major bonus points for that.)

Buy now, thank me later.
