We want to say black is back but then, when did it go anywhere? A good pair of black denim pants/leggings/jeans have always saved the day, especially when we've hit a fashion roadblock and we're sure this is true for you too. Let's not forget that this colour is slimming and flattering and any body type - this writer has an excess of black clothes (not complaining) for this very reason. You need more black too, but we're saying ditch the same styles, instead pick these different types of black jeans and black jeggings. We've covered all bases, OTT black jeans for parties to joggers and leggings for every day use or grocery runs. Shop for them right here on The LBB Shop. Your basic dressing is going to go up a few notches after this, so you may want to save this listicle for later.
7 Must-Own Black Jeans & Jeggings Your Current Wardrobe Needs
Roll-Up Hem Black Solid Jeans
We start with a classic because none can replace the style and comfort of it. Definitely get yourself this Roll-Up Hem Solid Jeans from 109°F. It is a slim fit, mid-rise black jean with a cotton blend for a snug and comfortable fit (although we do wish it was high-rise). For detailing and style, it has a roll-up hem ankle. Super versatile, this is one black jean that can be worn with many, if not all styles of tops (if you are worried the waist may roll down, pair this with longer tops and tunics).

It also has a thick and broad upper band to make sure your jegging stays secure and does not roll down. To give you that faux-denim look, it also cuts off right above to show off your beautiful ankles. All of this comes at a steep price but

Black Wide Bootcut Jeans
Bootcut jeans get a bad rap for being old-fashioned, but look around and you will see the past making major comebacks, especially in the fashion department. And worry not, we've picked out a stylish number for you in these Black Wide Bootcut Jeans from Club York. We like this pair because unlike other boot cuts that end too short, these are long and do not have an exaggerated boot shape. Just the right bootcut, chic and stylish. Mid-rise, these will look great with a tucked in top.

Basic Solid Energy Lite Joggers
We promised black and max comfort in the right pair of joggers and here it is, these Basic Solid Energy Lite Joggers from Agil Athletica. It's sporty, it's cool, it's a whole vibe. Also it fits like a glove -- cinched with a thick band at the ankle, long, a drawstring to secure and a 70:30 cotton and polyester mix for comfort and agility. We're also loving the lighter shade of black on this one. Only wished it had more inclusive sizing.

Kohl High Waist Mom Fit Jeans
All hail mom fit jeans because they are quite the revolution in the denim/jean world and of course, everyone must own a pair. Especially in black and particularly, these Kohl High Waist Mom Fit Jeans from ISU. We also recommend it if you believe in keeping with the trends too. Colour wise, this is the blackest black you will see (kohl, duh) with a relaxed fit and a material that is cotton blend and not entirely denim. This pair cuts off the ankle and will look good with a pair of boots, like in the image. It's high waist too, woot, woot!

Purely for our love of all things washed/faded, black and jeans -- we are saying these Fringe Hem Detail Denim Washed Ankle Jeans are a must-have.

The cotton lycra material ensures a skinny fit that hugs your legs without suffocating them. Love!
