Here are some suggestions of the main flared styles for plus sizes:
Wide Leg Pants: because type of these pants is cut wide from the thighs to the hems, curvy women with rectangular or apple body shape – top heavy figure – look particularly well with this flared style. The streamline shape is good to give a more proportional look. Make sure your pants fit well to create elegant, clean lines and to give you that longer, leaner look.
Palazzo Pants: these pants are the perfect balance between 1920s French Riviera and 1970s chic. There are simple rules to wearing them to ensure that you get the balance of fabric and patterns right. Opt for light weight fabrics for a more draping and flow. Consider balance of prints between upper and lower body part. Top heavy frames are best going for a plain top with printed palazzos, whilst pear shapes are better suited to one-tone palazzos, with a brighter top.
Bell Bottom Pants: obviously, these pants are not every plus size women’ favorites. But whether you’re going for a vintage look or you’re all about modern style, bell bottom pants for plus size women can work if you pair them with the right tops and shoes. Because bell bottoms are wide at the bottom, wear a body-skimming top, you should stick to shirts that aren’t as voluminous.
Bootcut Pants: besides straight leg and wide leg pants, bootcuts are probably most popular pants for women with curves. If you have a bottom wider figure, plus-size boot-cut jeans with a slightly flared bottom will help to balance out a larger midsection. These pants will also give your legs a long, lean look, especially when worn with pointy-toed heels or boots.
Trouser Pants: similar to bootcuts, these pants are best to balance out a larger midsection. For safety, a pair of black or khaki flared pants can slim and balance your figure and complement your business wardrobe.
