Perplexed by the season’s profusion of pants styles? Here’s how to decide which trousers will work for you
Editor’s tips
Don’t dismiss the stretchy-fabric pants styles in abundance this season. Unlike ultra-clingy leggings, these trousers can actually be slimming by creating soft contours. Beware of bulky front pockets if you’re concerned about hips or belly. Instead, choose pants without pockets or try a fashion stylist’s trick. Remove the inside pocket fabric and sew the openings shut. Low-rise styles are not for teens. Because they visually extend the torso(when teamed with a tucked-in top) and often skim over the hips, they can be a terrific option.
