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, 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.
