Know Everything About Women's Designer Pants - How to Find Pants That
Fit and Flatter
Finding that
perfect pair of pants that not only fits well, but also flatters your
body, can be fashion’s equivalent of the Holy Grail. With so
many cuts, styles, lengths, fabrics, and fits out there, it’s no
wonder that most women find themselves overwhelmed when they go
shopping for pants. Read on for some tips on how to narrow down your
search for your perfect pair.
Long Legs
Look for
classic cuts and styles like a classic trouser or men’s-style
pant. You can pull off cuffed styles, and look great in cropped
pants that will give your legs a long, lean, line. Try to avoid
straight skinny styles- they will make you look lanky.
Short Legs
Try on pants
that have a streamlined design. Look for styles that have a straight
leg or a boot cut pant- your goal is to have a long
uninterrupted line from hip to toe. Avoid styles that sit too high on
the waist, a lower waist will help lengthen the leg. Tip: wear pointy
toed shoes with pants that end at the instep- this will help your leg
look longer. Make sure your hem isn’t too short; it will
visually shorten the appearance of your leg. Cropped pants, pleats,
and wide silhouettes should be avoided.
Thick Waist
Search for
pants with a waistline that hits just below your bellybutton. If the
waistline is too high, it will create bulges, too low and your waist
will hand over the material. Avoid pants with extra volume at the
bottom like cuffed styles, and extra wide legs.
Large Hips
Try to find
pants that are fuller through the thighs and pants that fall straight
from the hips to camouflage heavier thighs. Low-rise cuts sit
directly on your hips and draw attention to that area, so they must
be avoided at all costs.
Petite
Check out
low-rise, boot-cut styles and experiment with different textures,
patterns, and colors.
Plus Size
Look for
straight-cut, slightly flared
pants in darker colors. To achieve an overall slimming look,
choose one color head to toe like black. This will lengthen your body
visually and make you look taller and slimmer.
Trends
Skinny Jeans
Skinny jeans
look best on long legs tucked into boots, but girls with heavier
thighs can wear them too. Pair designer
skinny jeans with a longer tunic or sweater
dress to hide any lumps and bumps.
Wide Leg Trousers
These look
best on boyish figures, but they can also help balance out large
hips. Wear designer
pants cuffed or uncuffed.
Shorts
Shorts can be
surprisingly flattering- you just have to find a great cut and
length. Hems that hit just above the knee are extremely flattering
and for a work appropriate look, try on trouser
shorts.
Capris
Wide legged designer
capris will create a long, lean line, and skinnier styles
flatter taller, slim styles. Avoid capris if you legs are short, they
will make the leg seem even shorter. |
