@Andreatoo   You have gorgeous, envious long hair and quite a stylish wardrobe. I'd love to see you smiling in your photos.

I have a lot of summer wide leg pants INC from Macy’s. I’m 5’2” and wear a size 4. I don’t feel because of my height the wide leg pants make me look heavy.

@Leggett28    NOTHING will make a size 4 "look heavy" !!!!!

@Desertdi   Sorry, but not true. Any clothing that's a bulky knit or oversized adds 10-15 lbs. and makes me look squatty. What also does not work well is too much contrast between the top and bottom of the outfit. I try to keep both pieces either dark tones or light tones. 

Capri or cropped pants also "cut" my leg making them look shorter and heavier where they hit the calf.

@Shanus   All I can say is that we "must be built differently".   I am all shoulders, and nothing else (!!)    And I am 4'10".............

@Desertdi   I think we're all built differently and therefore prefer to showcase our best areas. At 5'1", I wear a size 2-4 bottom, but a medium/large top (muscles/shoulders from years of gymnastics). You'll mostly see me in darker tops to minimize the top half. Having the short torso doesn't help. Even petites have fit issues.

I'm glad to see the wider width.  Not only do I like the look (always have) but I have thunder thighs and the wider width makes it a lot easier to find pants that fit.

I only have 2 pair but I like them both. One is the D&C beach pants that were a TSV last year and also these by Lisa (both in talls thank you very much). Haven't felt the need to add more.

@Desertdi   That's your look, your style...go for it!!!

I like wide leg pants and wear a few pairs once in a while.  Yes I'm short (5'0) and yes petite not that it matters.  

[Still Raining]

It be nice to return to them.  So nice to see tops tucked in and sweaters short.  Should have kept some.  At least I still have belts.
