I don't know a single woman that doesn't have at least a couple of black pants in her closet. Mine are assorted in two categories, slim and not-so-slim, so that I have all my deserts covered (chocolate mousse, cheese cake, ice cream...). And one other thing, my not-so-slim pants are not even the slightest less wonderful than the slim collection, so I can't torment myself because I skipped a week or two of gym. I say - there are enough evil souls out there trying to make you feel bad, especially in the corporate world (those backstabbing midgets), therefore you don't have to do it yourself.

And to return to our subject, if you haven't shopped for black pants in a while, how about these:

	Emilio Pucci designed Wool Jersey Pants with long and wide leg and elasticized waistband (the designer is definitely a foodie). These Italian pants will surely come in handy with this season's oversized trend. Get them at eLuxury for $615
	St John Satin Pants are made for one purpose only - to give you a dash of elegance. Slim legs will make you look taller, and if you wear them with high heeled shoes, you might even be able to look down on some people. Available at Neiman Marcus for $595
	Lafayette 148 Mini Dot Pants will help you follow the menswear trend for fall. To be used as a means of serious power-showing, together with very visual good taste expression. Saks Fift Avenue offers them for $328
	Theory Holz Tailor Pant is for those days when you don't have to try hard to achieve natural beauty. These are straight legged and made of wool/spandex combination, for maximum comfort. $230 at Shopbop
