Even Oprah has deemed the “ultra-flattering” Spanx Perfect Pants her favorite

I don’t have much in common with Kate Middleton, but apparently, we do share a taste for classic black pants.

Earlier this week, the Princess of Wales looked polished while celebrating World Mental Health Day in an all-black outfit — a plain top, wide-leg pants, and pumps — with a bright yellow blazer. Her sleek trousers are a smart choice this time of year, and I couldn’t ignore how much they resemble my own favorite black bottoms: the Spanx Perfect Pant in a wide-leg silhouette.

Spanx sent me the wide-leg version of its best-selling Perfect Pants last year, and I’ve worn them countless times since. They have everything I look for in a pair of staple pants: A comfortable, high-waisted fit, an ultra-flattering silhouette (my butt looks good), and serious versatility. Not only have I worn them to the office dozens of times, but I’ve also taken them for a spin at Broadway shows, family events, and out to dinners.

The wide-leg pants are also available in charcoal, navy, navy pinstripe, and a new black and white plaid pattern. All of these versions — and every Perfect Pant style, including skinny and straight-leg variations — come in Spanx’s signature core-shaping fabric, which smooths the tummy (and feels buttery-soft on the skin). I’ve styled the black pants with sweaters and heels,  leather jackets and booties, and form-fitting bodysuits for a sleek look.

Oprah wasn’t lying when she called the original Perfect Pant, an ankle-length style, “ultra-flattering” back in 2019 when they landed on her exclusive List of Favorite Things. Since then, Spanx has expanded the Perfect Pant collection, and every style is just as comfortable and classic as the one that started it all.

The Spanx Wide-Leg Perfect Pants might be mistaken for strictly “work pants” at first glance, but I’m telling you: They’re so much more. Shop other versions and Spanx’s brand new fleece-lined faux leather leggings for fall and winter below.
