1. Straight Pants

Straight pants are characterized by a straight silhouette and can refer to loose-fit, wide-leg and to more fitted pants. Straight-cut pants with a slim-fit design look classic, while loose-fit pants with a straight silhouette represent a nonchalant style. Of course, the look and style of pants are also determined by the presence or absence of a print and by the drape of a fabric.

Do’s and don’ts:

- The advice for H-line and V-line figures is to choose straight silhouettes; pants with a straight-cut silhouette are a perfect match. Do you have an H-line or V-line figure with extra weight around the belly? Go for straight pants with flat pleats at the waist for extra room and a flattering fit.

- Do you have a V-line figure with slender legs and large feet? Don’t go for straight pants with slimmer legs, but choose loose-fit pants with a straight shape for a beautiful balance.

- Do you have a straight A-line figure? Choose straight-cut pants in a uni-color design, avoid printed pants and choose pants that are designed with added stretch for a perfect fit at the hips and thighs. Also, avoid details at hip level to divert attention from the hips. Do you have a straight A-line figure with a longer body length? Straight pants with both slim and loose-fit legs are perfect for you.

- Do you have an O-line figure with a shorter body length? Choose straight pants with a cropped length.
