orn every day or for more special occasions, pants are a garment that is as practical as it is versatile. Choosing the right pants is, however, demanding, even complex for those who are not used to wearing them. 



Furthermore, many women today still have difficulty finding the ideal model that suits their figure. If you too are one of those who don't know how to choose women's pants, follow this guide.

1st step: know your body shape

The pants are able to enhance your figure just as they can give the impression of making you look bigger. So, before choosing women's pants for all styles or a model that you like, you must first make sure that they make you look good. And for this, you need to know your body shape well.

There are in principle 3 main types of body shapes in women: the pyramid, the hourglass, and the inverted pyramid. The pyramid silhouette refers to women who have wide hips and a narrow upper body (shoulders and bust). Conversely, the inverted pyramid groups together those who have slim hips, legs, and thighs, but who have large shoulders and a generous chest. Finally, the hourglass figure is characterized by a well-defined waist, chest, and hips.

Choosing the right cut according to your figure

You now know what body type you belong to, all you have to do is select pants according to it. You don't know which cut is likely to suit you? Don't panic, here are some tips.

  • You are the hourglass type

You're in luck because, with your generous shape and your pronounced waist, you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to pants. That said, straight cuts that shape the hips are best suited to highlighting your figure.

  • You are a pyramid-type

To avoid emphasizing your hips, choose high-waisted women's pants that are slightly flared at the ankles.

  • You have an inverted pyramid shape

The ideal for this type of body shape would be to add more volume to the lower body in order to rebalance the silhouette. Bodycon and fancy cuts (colors, frills, ruffles, etc.) are ideal because they draw attention to your legs.

Between the materials and colors of the pants, how can you stand out?

More and more women's clothing brands are relying on the diversity and innovation of materials to make their pants. Although “stretch” models are currently on the rise, they do not necessarily suit everyone. No matter what body shape you have, be wary of pants that stick to your skin, as these are not always flattering, especially if you have shapes. Prefer flowing materials such as linen, jersey, nylon, or even silk. Denim also remains truly timeless, especially since it suits all body types.

Likewise, be careful when choosing the colors of your pants. Ideally, opt for dark models because they refine the silhouette. In addition, dark colors are timeless and can be combined very easily. If you have a penchant for flashy colors, opt for pastel shades such as powder pink, lavender, or sky blue.

Pairing your pants well: the guide

After choosing pants, pairing your clothes with the chosen piece is essential if you want to wear pants with style. Depending on the desired look and your figure, you can choose different tops. Loose tops go wonderfully with cigarette pants, while flared or carrot models can be combined with fitted pieces. For slim or bootcut pants, there are many possibilities: an oversized sweater, close-fitting t-shirt, flowing tunic, cardigan, etc.

Like clothes, shoes must match the type of pants you have chosen. Wide-cut pants go perfectly with sneakers, heeled ankle boots, or pumps depending on the style you want to adopt. With slim jeans or a fitted cut of pants: a pair of ankle boots, derbies, moccasins, sandals, heels, and sneakers are as many choices as you can afford.
