Are skinny pants flattering on plus size women?

Skinny pants (skinny jeans) are not flattering on plus size women because they draw attention and emphasize the hip or rear end area. Looking at the three photos above the straight leg pants in the center look the best.

All style pants are in style today depending on your body type and what looks most flattering on you. Be sure that your under pants don’t create lumps or bulges and choose monochromatic color outfits.

In general if you are  5’3″ to 5’7″ and weigh between 155 -195 pounds choose the following pant styles:

Inverted triangle shapes look good in boot cut or slightly flared pants.

Triangle shapes look good in straight leg or boot cut style pants.
