pants that flatter my body
My number one goal in fashion is to wear things that flatter my body, which typically means evening out my big upper half and weird lower half. I’m 5’ 11”, 165lbs and an athlete, but my anatomy actually just makes me look overweight in the pants I wear currently (see pic 1). I have wide hips and my legs are rotated inwards at rest, creating a sort of hourglass… which is obviously not what I’m going for.
I’ve always tried to wear jeans that fit well, typically meaning athletic or tapered, but is the answer just to go straight cut? I tried on a few (pics 2 and 3) and they definitely seem like an improvement, but I really want a deeper understanding. Are there certain textures/types/colors/rise/etc. that I should be prioritizing or staying away from? How do I make my fits look as symmetrical and aesthetic as possible between the upper and lower half. Two sample current full fit pics at the end. I like the last one because the bad lighting really shows how bad the silhouette looks IMO. The shape looks… very feminine, which is the opposite of my goals.
