Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

Dresses are fun and flirty, but there’s nothing quite as comfortable as slipping into a fierce looking pair of pants. Trousers on a woman command authority without sacrificing a feminine edge. You can’t just pluck any pair of pants off the rack. Selecting a pair to suit your body type is essential to your comfort and self-confidence. Here are the top picks for various shapes.

Skinny Pants For Boyish Figures

Curves are not your strong suit. We say: own it and show off your willowy figure with a pair of skinny pants. A pegged, slim silhouette in a dark color will flatter your figure. Bulky fabric and wider cuts add too much volume that can overpower your frame. Avoid cropped trousers or you risk looking like a lady who accidentally shrunk her pants in the dryer.

Wide Leg Trousers For Plus Size Figures

You can instantly lose 10 pounds and add a few inches to your height with a pair of beautifully tailored wide-leg trousers. Don’t hide your body under layers of loose fabric. Well-tailored pants with a simple blouse and kitten heels will completely transform your appearance.

Bootcut Pants For Hourglass Figures

Your curves are kickin’! Accentuate your hourglass figure with bootcut trousers that are close fitting from the thigh to the knee and then flare a touch towards the hem. This cut will highlight your natural waist and keep your top and bottoms halves in proportion. A pointed-toe shoe will give your legs some magical inches.

Straight Leg Trousers For Petite Figures

You can’t keep wearing 3-inch heels to add height. One day your feet are going to rebel. A more comfortable fashion choice is a pair of straight leg trousers. Skinny silhouettes can look too skinny while boyfriend trousers just look ill fitting. Your small frame easily pulls off a straight line from hip to ankle and the silhouette adds visual height.

High-Waist Pants For An Apple Figure

You’ve got great legs, but you spend all your time trying to dress around your middle. Things are a little thicker in your midsection, but the right pair of pants can create a waistline and show off your legs. Low-rise pants are super annoying and hit your body in an awkward spot. Choose high-waist trousers, or what some might call mom pants. Not everyone can pull them off, but you can.
