If you want to increase the size of your hips, for example, take advantage of big polka dots. Small ones have no effect on the visual shape of the body and they can be worn by both genders
  • Tartan or chessboard prints and all their variations attract a lot of attention. If you want to hide or conceal something in your body, don’t wear these prints on that part of your figure. For the best style, combine the print with solid-color items. Straight lines will make your body look slightly square while small and diagonally located patterns will help you look leaner and taller

Now, it’s time to discover how to choose pants correctly in compliance with one’s body type. Roughly, there are several common body types that have their own specific features. For men, there are four most common body types: triangles and inverted triangles, rectangles and ovals. For women, there’s one more type known as hourglass. Let’s try to figure out how to choose the best pants based on these body peculiarities.

  • Inverted triangles

These can be both men and women. Such body shapes have a peculiar feature: their shoulders are wider than hips. Such body shapes are common for athletes of both genders.

When buying pants for this body type, avoid skinny ones and give preference to classic or bootcuts instead. If you are into choosing a pair of patterned pants, choose the prints that are light in color and have an enlarging ability.

  • Triangles

Such a body shape is very common in women but rather rare in men. Such people have narrow shoulders and wide hips. The main goal when you are choosing a pair of suitable pants for you is make the bottom part of your body seem slender and less heavy.

Relaxed fits will be great because they will distract the attention from too wide hips. Darker colors and dark patterns which attract less attention will be your perfect choice. However, if you are a female who’s proud of her curvy bottom, any cuts and styles are allowed if you like the way they fit you. However, there’s one recommendation for both genders: avoid plaited pants that will create an illusion of a more voluminous belly.

  • Rectangles

People with this body shape are usually slender without much curve to their bodies. This is why their main goal is to choose a pair of pants that will emphasize the slenderness of their legs and their athletic built. These are the people who should give attention to slim pants. However, vertical stripes can make them look even thinner than they really are.

At the same time, if you want to distract the attention from your wide waist, avoid the patterns that are bright closer to your waistline. Also, slanted pockets can add some pretty volume and shape to your hips. This recommendation works for both genders.

  • Ovals

Oval people have the main wideness closer to their waistline with slender legs and narrow shoulders. This is why the main goal of their pants is to attract the attention to their lovely legs. This is why brightly patterned pants with rolled up cuffs will be a great choice. One of the main characteristics of good pants for this body type is their roomy bottom part.

Try to avoid skinny pants because they will emphasize the transition of your slender legs into a wider hip and belly area.

  • Hourglass

Women who belong to this category have the most attractive bodies with narrow waists and hips and shoulders of nearly the same width. This is why they can wear practically anything, even 7/8-length pants and practically any patterns.

In their case, it’s important to draw the attention to the waist and make sure that nothing steals the beauty of their bodies.
