Finding Well Fitting Pants That Flatter a Mature Figure

The hardest piece of clothing to shop for as a mature woman has to be pants. That's because as you age, your body shape changes. Blame it on the hormones, once you reach the age of 40, you are no longer the “apple” or the “pear” that you used to be. Remember that thin waist you used to have? It may be replaced with a thicker middle and despite no dramatic changes in your eating habits you may find it harder to shred stubborn belly fat and begin to experience unintentional weight gain. So your trusty go-to pants may not fit the same as they used to. What this means is having to shop for ladies pants that have been specially designed to fit mature figures.

Embrace Your  Body Shape

Finding the right fitting ladies pants that would look amazing on your mature figure starts with knowing and embracing your body shape. Some styles will work better or certain body shapes than others. For instance, if your shape is pear, (same as J.Lo and Beyonce) skip pants with hidden zippers and side seam pockets. These can make your wide hips look even bigger. Instead, pick simple slim leg pants with as minimal detail as possible.

If your body shape is an inverted triangle (same as Angelina Jolie, Demi Moore, Rene Zellweger, and Naomi Campbell) you carry more weight in the top half of your body and have great slim legs and small hips. In this case, you can get away with wearing straight leg or cigarette style pants.

As for those women that have a rectangle shape (you're in the company of celebrities like Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman) and want to add the illusion of curves, pants with back pockets that are highly placed are the key to creating flattering curves.

Find the Right Rise

Whether dressed for work of play, there is no doubt that high waist pants can look flattering on most body shapes. However, if you often indulge in bakery goodies or you have a mummy tummy wearing high-rise pants with buttons and zippers might feel a little uncomfortable. In that case, you should go for a pair with a wider elasticated waistband that sits broadly on the hips. This will help you create a smoother silhouette and help you avoid the dreadful muffin-top - one of the biggest issue for many women after 40 and 50. Plus they feel so much comfortable to wear

You Can Still Rock Jeans

You’ve probably have experimented with denim jeans over the years are wore distressed or maybe bell buttons. Although jeans are that wardrobe staple that will simply never goes out of style, now that you are in your 40s or 50s  you should opt for the type of jeans that are appropriate for your body and age. If you crossed the 40-year mark and want to up your jeans game, you can never go wrong with a pair of comfy and stretchy, soft denim jeans with a pull-on high waist. These allow for more comfort. In my opinion, low rise jeans should be left for the younger ladies - of course, unless you have a flat stomach and you're the queen of crunches at the gym.

Another great thing about pull-on jeans is that there's no fussy around like the case with zipper and buttons jeans. Just slip them on and you're all set. You can find many specific designers who cater to the more mature women and make mature ladies' jeans.

Ditch Out the Khakis

If the stiffness and thickness of khakis have bothered you, maybe it's time to switch them with a pair of light and comfy pants for mature women. For the summer months instead of khakis (that make you appear frumpy), you can go for a pair of ladies pants made for luxury fabrics like soft linen blends that include a bit of lycra. These will give you an effortless sophistication unlike the stiff cotton khaki’s that look like you are wearing your canvas boat bag.

Speaking of summer style pants, modern harem pants in charcoal, black, white or grey hue made from a super soft viscose are a light and comfortable alternative for summertime. Even when the temperature is hot outside, they’ll keep you stay cool. These pants can be so comfy and cozy, you'll feel like all you’re wearing is pajamas out of the house while looking effortlessly stylish at the same time. These are a great staple to have on hand in addition to your jeans and can be mixed and matched with your favorite tops.

If you need a comfortable and casual option like for traveling, stretchy pull-on style pants without the hassle of buttons or zips are the perfect option to add style and comfort to your outfit.
