If you're between a 16 and a 14w, the 14w offers a little more room through the hip and thigh. Waist, Hip & Thigh Fit A high rise that stays where you put it: the hidden elastic inner band moves with you so the back doesn't gap, and the double-button closure keeps the front neat under a tucked blouse. Through the hip the fit relaxes, and the thigh stays easy and straight. Leg Shape & Silhouette The straight leg tapers to an ankle-length snap tab hem. Closed, the snaps give a tidy, tapered line that shows off loafers or booties; open, they relax the hem for an easier, slouchier look. Who It's Great For Circle: The high rise and supportive mesh panels stay put comfortably through the midsection. Triangle: The relaxed hip and straight thigh skim rather than cling, keeping the lower half balanced. Hourglass: The no-gap waistband follows your natural waist while the taper shows off your shape. Rectangle: Utility pockets and a cinched snap hem add dimension and shape. Inverted Triangle: Pocket detail through the hip adds volume below to balance broader shoulders. Remember: These are styling suggestions, not rules. The best outfit is always the one that makes you feel confident.
