Who among us doesn’t love to wear the kinds of clothes that make us look slimmer, trimmer, and smoother? (Raise your hands here.) One of the things that’s at the top of our currently coveted list of wardrobe essentials is a great pair (or ten) of slimming pants. Whether you’re looking for slacks, skinnies, jeggings, jeans, or capris, you can find them all with some amazing (and invisible) tummy tucking power.
With these pants, you don’t need to layer them over your favorite shapewear pieces. To avoid the unsightly muffin top, stick to those styles with mid-rise or higher waistlines. And another plus – lots of these super cute pants feature curve-hugging, butt enhancing fabrics that will make everything down south look lifted and a whole lot more flattering when you check out your rear view. Some will even gently sculpt your thighs, and who wouldn’t be totally on board with that?
We’ve found dozens of pairs from petite to plus size that can take you from the boardroom, to cocktail hour, dinners out, or even hot yoga, without ever breaking a sweat. And what’s really cool is that they all deliver incredible comfort without sacrificing style.
