It’s no secret that wide leg jeans have hit the streets again, rivaling their skinny counterparts. I’ve been around the block a few times with both and have just a few tips, especially if you are not six feet tall. If you happen to be slight of height, go for the higher waisted variety and wear them extra long with a great pair of platforms. Tada! You just grew a few inches. Save the pleated variety for the very slim, straighter hipped women and opt for flat front pants that skim over the hips without pulling across the top of the thigh. Wide leg pants that are tight on the thigh are not a good choice for a women with wide hips. You will look that much wider. Opt instead for a slimmer fit over the thigh and a gradual flaring beginning just above the knee to create a more balanced silhouette. Remember that a wide leg pant looks best with a slightly chunky heel and rarely works with flats. Pay attention also to what you wear on top. Jackets that are fitted look best but if you must go for a boxy look, wear a short jacket to expose your waistline.
