Finding Perfect Pants for Your Body Type
Hourglass figure
By Ingrie Williams
Average User Rating:
Body type: Hourglass figure
Your challenge: Making your legs look long and lean
The best pants for you: Slightly flared or wide straight-leg styles are ideal, as are cropped pants that are hemmed at mid-calf. If you go for the latter, keep the color of your boot or shoe in the same family as the pant for maximum leg length. Lastly, avoid overly skinny pants as they can create a pear-shaped look, and skip wide-leg options which can overwhelm this body type.
Dress them up: Accentuate your curves with sleek tops, like a knit turtleneck or a fitted cap-sleeve top.
