Want to look smart without trying to squeeze into a pair of super skinny jeans? Get ready to exhale as the sharp style of the season gives you more legroom and makes you look equally appealing. We are talking about the wide leg pants that have been inspired from menswear. Banish the thought that they can make you look masculine, because this cut is very generous and has a slimming effect. If they fit properly over the hips and flow down the length, they can flatter most shapes. There are few rules when wearing your pair of wide leg pants. Go long on the length, the hem of the trousers should be just half an inch off the ground, but let them cover your shoes. This slims you down and gives the effect of long legs. For a slim silhouette pick pants that sit an inch or two below the navel and fit snug around your hips and derriere. If you have heavier legs then you can pick pants in lighter fabrics but for short women thicker fabrics work well. Wear your wide leg pants with a lightweight top or a feminine V-neck sweater or T-shirt.
