waistband to
avoid the dreaded
muffin top.

looks great with
fitted tops and
tucked-in shirts, and
is easily dressed up

Shape: Ankle-grazing cut that can be narrow or pleated.
Best for: Tall or boyish figures, especially when in a slimmer cut.
Fit tip: The most flattering cropped pants are a slim fit, so stay away from looser shapes.
How to wear it: If you're taller than five foot six, you can pull them off with ballet flats. If not, elongate your legs with heels.
Shape: Sits on your true waistline; legs can be fluid or fitted.
Best for: Camouflaging a tummy and creating a smaller waistline, particularly when belted.
Fit tip: Make sure they sit right at your true waist — that's the part you're showing off.
How to wear it: Look for dark colours, and pair with wedges or heels for the illusion of height.
Shape: The name says it all. This style has a variety of waistlines, from flat front to soft and slouchy.
Best for: Minimizing the hips and butt.
Fit tip: Length and movement are everything. Keep this style polished (and not momsy) with a floor-grazing hem.
How to wear it: A wider cut looks best with slim, fitted tops. Finish with a pair of heels.
Shape: Super-sleek shape with a tapered or narrow leg.
Best for: Anyone who likes the treadmill — and her legs!
Fit tip: This style should look snug but not painted on. A little stretch goes a long way!
