You can always count on Emily Ratajkowski to be wearing the latest pant trends while out and about in NYC. She opts for pants even more often than jeans, and always has her finger on the pulse of the latest black pants trends—perhaps even starting them herself sometimes.
Remember the capri pants trend of last spring and summer (it’s hard to forget—they were everywhere)? As someone who ordered no less than five pairs of capris and returned all of them, I can confirm that the trend is polarizing to say the least. So if you’re looking for a 2025 alternative to the black capri, look nor further, as Ratajkowski just wore it.
The theme of the week has undoubtedly been flared jeans, after both Kendrick Lamar and Meghan Markle wore them on the same day, the former to perform in the Super Bowl. It makes sense that the flared trend would also apply to black pants, which is what Emrata just wore. Her slim flares looked both cool and polished, especially with her pointed-toe red boots. In my humble opinion, flares are a far more flattering addition to an outfit than capris, so they’re what I’ll be shopping for instead. Keep scrolling to join me in that, as I rounded up the best flared black pants on the internet to make it easy for all of us.
