Wide Leg Pants – The Anti Skinny
I really wish I could pull off skinny pants. But when you are cury, skinny pants exggerate your otherwise beautiful curves. I say, buck the trend, and go with a more glamorous, and much more curvy friendly shape-the wide leg trouser.
Nanette Lepore, Cynthia Steffe and Zac Posen are all doing them in fabulous vintage style. But we found a pair of wide leg pants that have a very flattering rise-they sit at the waist, and much more affordable.

What tops would you pair with these pants?
Personally, I would probably wear a blouse that was fitted at the waist, maybe a slim button down with short sleeves, just to keep the mid section streamline.
You could also wear a tissue thin cashmere top, but maybe something with a bit of a puff shoulder to keep things long and lean.
If you are presenting these pants to “curvy” girl, then why not put a curvy girl in them?! I would never buy those pants just for that reason.
Hi Allison. thanks for commenting.
Unfortunately, Ann Taylor Loft didn’t feature these pants on a curvy model. Otherwise, it would’ve been perfect!
If you happen to find a pic of wide leg pants on a curvy model, please do post it!
At 6′ tall and 250 lbs, with a true hour glass figure and a round rump, I have learned to only wear high waisted, palazzo pants (wide legged).
I wear form fitted knit tops with mine, accented by a loose, light weight cardigan.
Navy linen palazzos in summer and deep dark denim in winter.
I get compliments all the time because I am working WITH my feminine figure instead of trying to fit it into what is trendy but not really flattering for me. The look is very “old Hollywood” and works very well on women with my curvy figure. Far too many women think they look way better in skinny jkeans then they actually do -the form fitting pants actually point out their lumps, flabby belly and flat butts.
