If you're between a 16 and a 14w, the 14w offers a little more room through the hip and thigh. Waist, Hip & Thigh Fit The high rise sits comfortably at your waist, and the hidden elastic inner band keeps it from gapping at the back when you sit or bend. The fit relaxes through the hip and stays easy and straight through the thigh, so there's room to move all day. Leg Shape & Silhouette A straight leg that tapers toward a cropped, ankle-length snap tab hem. Leave the snaps closed for a neat, tapered finish over sneakers and booties, or pop them open for a looser, more relaxed hem with sandals. Who It's Great For Circle: The high rise and supportive mesh panels stay put comfortably through the midsection. Triangle: The relaxed hip and straight thigh skim rather than cling, keeping the lower half balanced. Hourglass: The no-gap waistband follows your natural waist while the taper shows off your shape. Rectangle: Utility pockets and a cinched snap hem add dimension and shape. Inverted Triangle: Pocket detail through the hip adds volume below to balance broader shoulders. Remember: These are styling suggestions, not rules. The best outfit is always the one that makes you feel confident.
