Best Pants for your Body Shape
Find the most comfortable pants that fit your unique body shape perfectly and allow you to feel confident
can be a difficult and daunting feat.
I Shape
You are straight and may describe your shape as boyish, so create some curves with pleats at the waist and hips, or hip detail. Â Wear light or patterned trousers if you like them!
8 Shape
Your hips and shoulders are fairly balanced with a defined waist, but you have the high ‘shelf’ hip.
Again a wider waistband can help with fit issues, look for straight and trouser cut styles or a bootcut.
O Shape
Your tummy protrudes and is the widest feature on your upper body.
Consider purchasing pants in the maternity section as they will have less fabric through the thighs and bottom, but not cut in at your waist.
As you’re wearing a longer top (and maternity styles have really improved in recent years) nobody will know that is your secret.
A Shape
Your hips/thighs are broader than your shoulders but you have a defined waist.
Look for shapes that have a little bootcut or flare to balance your hips.
Wear in a darker colour with a lighter coloured or patterned top to draw attention upwards.
X Shape
Your shoulders and hips are balanced and you have a defined waist.
Styles with wide waistbands will make fitting easier, you may find that you have to have the waist on trousers taken in.
Straight or bootcut or a little flare all suit.
H Shape
You have a similar width shoulders to hips but don’t have a defined waist, so follow your shape with a straight leg pant.
You may find fabrics with stretch fit you better as if you have a flat bottom you will get sagging fabric under the bottom
