What should women with wide hips and small waist or houglass shape wear?

1- The best styles for an hourglass shape or pear shape woman or women with wide hips are straight wide leg pants and boot leg pants as both balance the small waist wide hip look. It is really the bottom part of the pant that must be wide not necessarily the thigh area( unless you have thick thighs and need the wide leg), because the wide bottom of the pant visually works with the wide hip ( which also visually connects with the shoulder) to balance the curves for the most flattering silhouette.

2- You should also be looking for pants that are about one inch below the belly button or mid rise pants. The waist should be contoured for he best fit and the hips must be cut to fit the curve of your hips.

3- Avoid pants with side pockets and deep pocket bags. Side pocket pants with deep pocket bags make your hips look wider.

4- Invest in high quality fabrications such as Tropical wool stretch or Cotton Stretch or 100% wool or Linen/Viscose. While Stretch fabrics work best, non stretch fabrics can be fine as well.
