Finding Perfect Pants for Your Body Type
Wide bottom, hips or legs

Body type: Wide bottom, hips or legs
Your challenge: Evenly distributing your proportions
The best pants for you: Slightly flared or wide-leg pants (in dark colors) are most flattering since they create a long line from hip to toe. A snug fit around the butt and thighs is crucial, and the fabric should skim over these areas and flow away from the body at the hips. If you find a pair that fits properly everywhere but at the waist, have them taken in by a tailor. Handing over a few extra dollars is a small price to pay for a custom fit.
Dress them up: Look for structured jackets to balance your shoulders and hips. Brightly colored shirts and bold jewelry will also draw attention to your upper half.
