Black pants... The staple of most wardrobes. I've got at least 3 pairs in different styles and weights so I am covered for all seasons.
I am rather tall so I usually have to have the pants taken down to their full length and a false hem put on the bottom.
This week one of my stand by pairs ( Teenflo, circa 2007) sprouted a rip in the front! These are my favourite pair as they are a classic boot cut that goes with everything. What am I going to do? I wear these at least once every two weeks. The only option, is to hope that they can be repaired well enough that I can still wear them to work. If not I will have to wear the Hugo Boss (circa 2008, purchased in Amsterdam) straight leg pair. Straight legs are going to limit the footwear options. Might have to pull out the Roger Vivier flats to wear with them... We'll see.
Don't feel bad for me, I've still got two pairs of Cambio pants in reserve that I haven't worn in about 3 years that I can use to fill in the gaps - just need to get them taken in a bit. A trip to the alterationist is in order ... I will make it through this year with no new clothes.
