Dress For Your Figure - the Pants Edition

There are so many choices out there! How's a girl to know what style will work for her, downplaying imperfections and accentuating the best features? Here's the skinny (excuse the pun):



For a straight figure of any size...

Lucky you! You can pull off just about any waist rise and style of leg. Avoid contoured waists. Look for pants that have a belt or pockets that will appear to add curviness.

If your bum needs filling out, try jeans or pants with pockets that have lots going on.

If you have a tummy...

Look for a wide waistband with at least a mid-rise. Straight-cut pants and jeans will lessen any contrast between a thicker middle and a slimmer bottom half. Avoid low-rise, pleats, belts and wide-leg pants.





(All of this fabulous info comes from the March 2011 issue of Real Simple)
