These items worked extremely well on some of my clients. They are on sale, nice quality, good fabric, and come in a diverse set of sizes and lengths. They are also especially forgiving, attractive, and comfortable on the midsection. Chico’s does bespoke sizing so make sure you look at the size charts.
1. Textured Mesh Banded Hem Top
I was WOWED when my petite apple shaped client tried this on, and so was she. It’s got built-in lining so it’s not transparent. The textured fabric is fab. The banded bottom with side ruching is magically streamlining over the midsection because it glides over the curves of the belly providing structure below the waist, and not on the waist. Zero cling, yet a good amount of tailoring. Genius design. Looks great with a range of trousers, jeans, and skirts.
2. Juliet Ponte Trim Detail Ankle Pants
If you have a wider waist and narrower legs, these pants are the bomb. They come in lots of colours, three lengths, and a diverse set of sizes. The hems have cute little slits that add polish to the style. The pockets are flattering. Super comfy, and don’t bag out. Launder well too.
3. Bi-Stretch Front Seam Slit Ankle Pants
These versatile pants come in two colours and three lengths. They fit a range of body types because they glide over the curvier and straighter lines of the body with stretch and substantial fabric. The front slits are darling and add a chic touch to the silhouette. Make sure they don’t cling to the calves if you have muscular calves. Cigarette pants will be trending so get a head start!
