INSPIRATION
REAL LIFE
TIP 1: Don't pay attention to the number (size) on the label.
I have a love/hate relationship with pants. There are one of the harder pieces of clothing to fit on a woman because more than likely they are too big in the waist and too tight in the thighs and rear. My advice to all of you no matter if you are a size 2 or a size 12 is to buy a size bigger and take them to a tailor. A good tailor will take them in at the waist and create the perfect pair of pants.
TIP 2: Avoid big prints and pastel colors if you are heavier on the bottom.
Not much to explain here. Both can make the thinnest of our girlfriends look a little heavy. Stay with darker colors for a slimmer look.
I think a different shoe would work better with these pants. This is not my favorite look, but wanted to show you a printed pant.
TIP 3: Capri pants are not your friend.
Avoid any and all pants that cut off at mid calf. They do nothing for your figure and will make you look short and dumpy. Choose a pant that stops right at or slightly above your ankle bone. This will give the illusion of longer (and leaner) legs.
TIP 4: Balance
If you love the wide leg trend, please balance it out with a more fitted top or jacket. If skinny pants are your thing, choose a tunic style top (that accentuates your waistline) or a blouse that has a little more volume to it.
