We come in all kinds of beautiful shapes and sizes when it comes to legs. Unfortunately, the fashion world hasn’t caught up to that quite yet, as most garments are still fitted to only flatter a size 0. This means pants end up looking wonky and feeling uncomfortable on the rest of us, requiring many of us to find a tailor to customize them to our thighs. But we don’t usually have the time or extra cash for this. That’s why we rounded up 17 pants that will actually look flattering on larger thighs — and are secretly super comfortable too.
If you’ve been struggling to find pants that actually flatter your thighs and subsequently make you feel extra confident while wearing them, you’re definitely going to want to check out our 17 picks below. Whether you’re someone who needs a go-to work pant for ruling the boardroom or simply a casual pant for dinners out with friends, we’ve got you covered. Keep scrolling to see our top picks!
