Plus Size Pants

Home >> Plus Size Pants

I know some plus size women that don't ever wear pants. Some feel self conscious about how they look in them. Others just can't find a fit they feel comfortable in.

The selection of pants that full figured women have now is better than ever. You can find styles that fit and flatter you for any aspect of your lifestyle.

You just need to know what to look for in styles that work with your body type.

Choose the Best Plus Size Pants for You

• Flares and boot cuts balance your shape. Flared legs can both balance out wide hips but also give the illusions of curves where there aren't any.
• Go with the longest possible pant leg. The hem of your pants should hit at mid heel. The longer your pant leg, the longer and leaner your legs look.
• Center seams are clean and slenderizing. Pant legs with center seams give you a crisp, clean look and they make your legs look longer.
• Avoid patterns in bold colors. Sometimes this can be fun, but loud patterns in bold colors will draw the eye and add weight to your frame. So have fun with patterns and colors, but keep those solid colored plus size pants as your wardrobe staple.
• Stick with dark bottoms of you are bottom heavy. Draw eyes up away from full hips and thighs by keeping your pants dark and using light colors and patterns on top.
• No horizontal lines across the hips. Pear shaped ladies avoid horizontal patterns or even pockets that create a line across your widest point. This will make your hips seem wider and make you appear to be shorter. The same goes for tops where the hem hits are your widest point.

Plus Size Pants Styles

Plus Size Shorts
Shopping for shorts can be a daunting task. Shorts that fit too tightly, or are too short can be the most uncomfortable, unflattering things you can wear. But if you shop for your curves, you can live comfortably in shorts all summer long, and wear them for most any activity, or event.

Plus Size Capri Pants
As fabulous as capri pants are, unless you're careful they can make heavy legs look heavier, and short legs look shorter. If you follow these few tips you can shop for plus size capri pants with confidence.

Plus Size Cargo Pants
Cargo pants for women are definitely stylish and comfortable but unless you wear them well, you risk looking sloppy and looking like you weigh more than you really do.

Plus Size Dress Pants
Depending on your body type you may require some tailoring to get your plus size dress pants to fit just right, but there are some things you can do to come as close to a perfect fit as possible before calling on that tailor.

Plus Size Leather Pants
Wearing leather pants can be tricky for a plus size woman, and unfortunately, in my humble opinion, not every plus size figure can pull it off. But if you'd like to try, here are some things to look for.
