If you don’t have a slim waist or endless pins, don’t fret! You can easily overcome this by choosing the right outfits. Avoid these four styles of pants to prevent any disproportion in your body shape.
Bermuda Shorts
While they are a favorite among those who prefer a bold style, Bermuda shorts are not flattering if you’re aiming to enhance your waistline and elongate your legs. Their length, which reaches just above the knee, can make your legs appear shorter. Instead, opt for shorts that sit on the upper thigh or long pants that graze the ankle. These are the true “hack” pieces that are also easy to mix and match.

The length of Bermuda shorts can give the illusion of shorter legs.
Low-Rise Pants
Low-rise pants only work if you have a slim waist, a flat and toned stomach, and relatively long legs. Otherwise, they tend to accentuate waistline flaws and shorten the appearance of your legs. Bending over in low-rise pants can also make your midsection look worse. If you insist on wearing them, be prepared to pair them with high heels and constantly suck in your stomach.

Low-rise pants flatter those with a slim waist, flat stomach, and long legs.
Elastic Waist Pants
While elastic waist pants offer a unique and comfortable look, they may not be the best choice if you don’t have a slim waist. They can make your midsection appear larger, whether you tuck in your top or wear a cropped blouse. Instead, opt for pants with a regular waistband, buttons, or a zipper to create a more balanced silhouette.

Elastic waist pants can make your waist look larger, so consider your body shape before wearing them.
Capri Pants with Flared Legs
If you have a short waist and legs, steer clear of capri pants, especially those with flared legs. The wide leg design, combined with the cropped length, will make your figure look boxy. Even for those with a balanced figure, these pants can be a challenge to pull off. If you want to wear capri pants, go for a straight-leg or slightly skinny style instead of a flared design.
