Years ago, I had the punctuation-mark tights that American Apparel used to make -- I was teaching English at the time, so they were super fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725440 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 22:17:52 +0000 Traci 1725440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend to run hot footed, so I will wear bare ankles even when the temp drops. &nbsp;If I want more warmth and coverage I'll reach for socks and ankle boots. &nbsp;I'm also inspired by this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725431 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 21:40:19 +0000 Alexandra 1725431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I really like the outfit with the fluid knit top. </p> <p>What are you all doing for socks? I mean, when you sit down, half the calf shows in these narrower, shorter pants. Keep it bare? Even in the winter? Or nude knee-highs? Or something else? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725415 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 20:26:34 +0000 cjh 1725415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like just about any style of shoes goes with them, too. I wear mine with oxfords or booties in cool weather with blouses and cardigan sweaters or blazers; Converse tennis shoes with knit tops or boxy sweaters for more casual occasions; strappy, flat, Birks, or other types of sandals in summer along with appropriate dressy or more casual tops, and so on.&nbsp;</p> <p>Try them with anything - take photos and post! Can't wait to see what you come up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725414 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 20:23:16 +0000 Traci 1725414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few more from me, suited to warmer weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725411 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 20:08:41 +0000 K. Period. 1725411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you think of them as a less bun-huggy version of black leggings, does that help? Mine are a core item in my wardrobe. &nbsp;I wear them with all my tops, including my tees. Footwear choice makes a huge difference in skewing them formal or casual. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725407 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 20:02:45 +0000 Care 1725407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your input. It seems like this should be easy. I think I can do fall/winter with thin knitwear. The warmer weather has me stumped. I don't see my usual t-shirts working well. Although maybe I should try some.<br /> Here are some of my inspiration pics.<br /> 1- brogues, long topper, white tee (?)<br /> 2- this is flared crop pants, but I really like the textured tights and chinky Mary Jane's. I think Angie included this in her Fall trend report.<br /> 3-Longer cardigan/topper<br /> 4- fluid thin knit</p> <p>Of course there was also Ms.Alt in her white button down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725401 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 19:22:51 +0000 Alexandra 1725401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you asked this question because I want to know this too. I've only recently found the right slim ankle pant shape and have been working on planning outfits around it. My favorite combination so far is a red top or twinset, black slim ankle pants, and red Keds.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725400 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 19:13:59 +0000 Traci 1725400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It must be a fall thing because I just checked my Pinterest and I've pinned lots of slim black pants recently. Here were my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725399 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 19:08:11 +0000 Traci 1725399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them with a slouchy turtleneck. I also have a black and white gingham button down and a plaid flannel shirt I like them with. For shoes I like loafers and oxfords the best shoes wise. Breton stripe shirts are also really cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725388 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 18:37:13 +0000 Elizabeth P 1725388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I laughed at this, because I feel like I'm in the same boat.&nbsp; I've&nbsp; wanted slim black pants for ages, and they've been a bit of a HEWI because I have fairly heavy calves, so what is slim everywhere else is tight and catches up on them.&nbsp; Well,I finally got a pair. I'm thinking about a packing capsule for a conference in two weeks, thought the pants would be perfect when I bought them, but have NO idea what (seasonally appropriate) tops to wear them with!&nbsp; Once we're into fall it'll be no problem, but this transition season?&nbsp; not so sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725372 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 18:01:36 +0000 Anonymous 1725372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim black ankle pants have been the backbone of my wardrobe.&nbsp; I own some variation for every single season of the year.&nbsp; I literally wear them everything.&nbsp; Blouses, sweaters, tunics, blazers, long and short cardigans.&nbsp; For me, they are the support act that allows everything else in my wardrobe shine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725367 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 17:38:14 +0000 sylvie55 1725367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them with a silky collarless blouse (a print and some gathers in back or at the shoulders make it extra special), a white or colorful blazer worn unbuttoned, and cognac or wine (never black!) open-toe shooties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725361 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 17:24:22 +0000 LaPed 1725361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good score! Finding the right slim black ankle pants is sooo hard.</p> <p>Slim black ankle pants (maybe we should start an SBAP acronym?) are one of the few things I can confidently pair with ballet flats these days. Classic Audrey. Ballet flats can look kinda blah with the wrong trousers (unintended Wallace &amp; Gromit reference!), but with a good pair of black ankle pants they're just the thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>As folks have already mentioned, they're also great for longer tunic-y tops, which otherwise I have a very hard time with.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you have any asymmetrical sleeveless tops, that's one of my favorite warm-weather looks, especially paired with a strappy sandal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725358 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 17:17:30 +0000 RobinF 1725358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Tanya, they are very versatile and can be worn with tons of tops. The slimness of them makes them work with tops that are more voluminous also. I also agree that the right shoes are important for the overall look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725356 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 17:13:18 +0000 Tanya 1725356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are a black canvas, and you could wear them absolutely anything&nbsp; you want.&nbsp; From regular length tops/sweaters ( I love the ruffle hemmed version) to longer tunics and dresses.&nbsp; I would just make sure I am wearing the right footwear for ankle pants: ankle strapped shoes, booties or higher vamps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-style-slim-black-ankle-pants#post-1725355 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 17:10:36 +0000 Care 1725355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim black ankle pants have been on my "list", but it took a while to find the right pair. Too skinny, ankle opening too wide, slit hem, etc, etc. I ran across a pair of J. Crew minnie pants at the thrift store, and they were great. But now that I have them, I can't remember what the inspiration was to style them.&nbsp;<br />What is your favorite way to style slim ankle pants? And don't hold back on summer formulas, we have a good two months of summer weather still here on the gulf coast. Thanks for sharing! </p>
