The 7 Pairs Of Pants That Will Actually Fit Your Butt AND Your Waist
by Audie Metcalf
If you clicked in from the title, I will assume you’ve had trouble with pants.
I’ve had trouble with pants for my entire life, so c’mon in. The water’s warm.
Invariably, they just don’t fit right. If you find something wide enough in the thigh, the waist is enormous. Or they’re insanely too tight all over. Or the fabric is weird and unflattering. It’s just always something with pants, isn’t it?
So I’ve spent what feels like a lifetime (maybe it has been?) searching for well-fitting pants. I’m sure I’ve wriggled into upwards of 200 pairs of pants this past year alone—and yes, it’s often in service of writing content for this very site, but my larger point is this: I’ve done all the sweaty, annoying, hateful work of trying, and discarding, so very many pants that are terrible, so that you don’t have to.
And so, like a phoenix from the ash, these 7 pants have revealed themselves as the best-fitting, most wearable, and by far the most flattering, for nearly everyone, and every body type.
Let’s dive right in, shall we?

The magic of these pants is that they are actually high-waisted, they are true to size, they are brilliantly cut so that your butt looks incredible, and while the legs are wide, you won’t feel swallowed up by them. You WILL however feel like some elegant gamine, perfectly dressed for any occasion. They come in tall and plus sizes, but they do sell out almost instantly. If they’re back in stock at time of reading, pounce.
