Express Editor pants. Look great on everyone I've seen. Bonus: Once I
knew my size, I started getting them on ebay regular pants, capris,
different colors. Cheap!
Love em.

My girlfriend and I have recently started a new mission: to find
brands
of clothing that have universally flattering cuts that flatter *both*
of us.
She and I have very different builds. Think Trinny and Susannah she
is very tall with long legs, small waist and generous hips, thighs,
and
butt. I am the exact opposite petite with proportionately short
legs,
no hips, small butt, small thighs, and thick waisted. For the longest
time we figured it was impossible for both of us to look good in the
same brand and style of pants seemed if something flattered her, it
was sure to look all wrong on me, and vice versa. For example she
looks
great in BR martin's and I look terrible in them, but I look great in
BR Harrison's and she looks terrible in them.
But then we discovered that the Gap bootcut modern fit stretch khakis
flatter *BOTH* of us!! (I got the ankle length and she got the long
length). That was an amazing discovery!
We thought it was a fluke... until we discovered last night that
Levi's
515's flatter both of us too! Hmmm... could the secret be the
stretch?
I do think that's a big factor, but there's also something about the
cut of the leg, and how it tapers down the thigh.
So now we're on this mission. We are wondering what *other* brands
might be out there that are universally flattering for a wide range
of
body types and sizes?
