Black pants are a staple in almost every work wardrobe. In this post, I’m styling my black pants mostly with winter boots for six outfits you can wear to work this winter.
As part of my 2026 Winter Workwear Capsule for Petites, these outfits focus on versatile layering pieces, and proportions that work for shorter frames.

Black Pants Styled Six Ways: 2026 Winter Workwear Capsule
My Sizing: I’m 4’10”, and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″, and 36″. My inseam is 25″ (the measurement from the inside of my leg to my ankle bone). The clothes shown are unaltered and show how they fit me right from the store. I list my sizing beside each item to help you compare when shopping online. When referencing my true size, that is often the smallest option available at a brand or petite xxs/00/24. I wear a size 5 shoe.

Added Shoes & Accessories
I didn’t include the shoes or accessories in my item count for the capsule because I included more options than I typically do. I typically choose just a few pairs for the capsule but I had many readers request different things. So, I wanted to show different options for different preferences. I also added a coat to some of the outfits to show how I would layer it for winter, but I did not include the coat in the capsule item count.

Perfect Wide Leg Pants – Ann Taylor Petite 00 Curvy Fit in Black
- 10″ Rise / 28.5″ Inseam (Petite 00 Curvy)
- 62% Polyester / 28% Viscose / 6% Elastane
- Machine Washable
These pants have a clean flat front and a slim wide leg that my readers love. They are overall true to size, but if you’re pear-shaped like me, the curvy fit is the best fit. They have a 10.5″ rise and 28.5″ inseam which only works on my height low heels or heeled boots. (I included this pair in my winter capsule last season).
