Color is a very important ingredient in creating sartorial illusions. Choosing the right color for your printed pants would help out greatly for those of you who are bottom heavy. Dark colors will give off a slimmer look so I highly suggest choosing pants in those shades.

You can also manipulate the colors of your pants, especially those with more than one solid color. For example, a pair of printed pants with dark panels on the side would definitely make your legs look taller and slimmer than they actually are.

THE RIGHT KIND OF PANTS

Like knowing the perfect dress for your body shape, learning about the right kind of pants helps out on you looking seamless in your printed pants. You don’t want something that fits like a second skin because your legs might look like a sausage that’s about to explode. You also don’t want something too loose because that will swamp out on your figure.

If you’re opting for flared pants, go for one that flares out around the slimmest part of your legs. Boot-cut pants are also flattering to almost any kind of body shape so you’re good with that. If you have wider hips, avoid pants with a waistline that’s either gathered or pleated.

THE RIGHT PATTERNS

Of course, since we are talking about wearing printed pants seamlessly the question of what kind of prints you’re supposed to go for or avoid is significant. Geometric patterns or any prints with sharp edges and angular shapes add the sleekness of your shape. This also applies with vertical stripes especially those with highly contrasting colors like black and white.

For an allover kind of print, I strongly recommend veering off printed pants with huge spaces. Don a pair of printed pants with tight patterns on them that result to very small amount of exposure of the background. This would keep your legs from looking bigger than they are.
