Would wide leg pants flatter a Ruler shape woman?

**collegegirl2010** · 12-28-2010 07:29 PM

My body shape is a ruler/H and my measurements are 30-28-32; and I love the way leggings, graphic tees and cardigans look on me as a well put together outfit, but
I'd also like to try other styles. So, do you think wide leg pants/dress pants would look good on me? And if so, should I try the ones wide through the thigh and leg or the regular wide leg?

So, Any advice? And any more tips on styles I should wear for my shape?

For your shape I reccommend fitted pants with FLARE bottom, or boot cut at minimum. Having tight at the hips and waist and then flaring at the bottom will make your waist look smaller by contrast and give you more of an hourglass appearance. I think making the lower legs so tiny makes everything else look bigger by comparison.

You are itty bitty college girl, I wouldn't call yourself 'ruler shaped'... you are slender with a lil boom to the bottom.. I bet you look fantastic.

Well, because my shoulders aren't broad and my calves are a little muscular(I don't have really bony legs) I don't look unbalanced in leggings. They just show off my narrow frame...And I like them because I actually feel sexy in them, and I get alot of compliments when I wear them...But I will also try fitted pants with a flare bottom...And thanks!

I am not 100% sure what you mean by a ruler shaped body... but if it resembles the letter H so wide hips and legs apart, You can totally wear other styles like dress pants that flare right after your butt. they make your legs look long, and give your butt a lift. Also pants that flare at the bottom would look good as well.
