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 The high rise sits right at your waist with a hidden elastic inner band that flexes as you move, so there's no gap at the back on long days of sitting, driving, or chasing kids. It relaxes through the hip and stays straight and easy through the thigh. Leg Shape & Silhouette From the thigh the leg runs straight, then tapers to an ankle-length hem finished with snap tabs. Keep them snapped for a crisp, cropped finish with sneakers or tall boots tucked over, or unsnap for a relaxed hem with flats. 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.
