Sleek black gaucho pants

I found these sleek and chic black gaucho pants or culottes deeply discounted at around $2 and couldn't resist, mainly because I think they could be quite versatile and easy to style...

the black culottes go just past the calves and showsoff the shins quite nicely... 

to be worn immediately with a regular length charcoal tee...

or any one of these 50 shades of grey tees...

grey vest with black buttons

black and white striped camisole tank top

this H&M black crinkle camisole top

then topped with a simple gunmetal grey sweatshirt...

or perhaps a grey sweater / jumper with black elbow patches...

and this charcoal jacket...

this charcoal striped cardigan...

black car coat

or kick it up a notch with this sexy snow leopard sweater...

slinky leopard long sleeve top

or layered with a long sleeve grey and black striped tunic tee...

or this heathered barley tee...

and definitely this oversized natural / beige and black striped tunic sweater...

this oversized unbleached linen looking tunic with the contrasting black stripes would add a lot of interest and texture over the flared black cropped culottes...

and paired with this fringed faux buckskin bag...

black peeptoe booties...

and this black studded triple buckle bootie...

and in the summer with a slinky striped tank top...

Uniqlo X Marimekko polka dot sneakers
