Striped Houston uncuffed trouser at Lane Bryant [2] I am a pear-shaped woman. I'm 1-2 sizes smaller on top than I am on the bottom. Everyone says that I don't look as big/heavy as I really am. Why? Because I wear these pants.

The Houston cut at Lane Bryant is perfect for me. It has a lower waist (but not too low), is relaxed through the hip and thigh, and has a slightly flared leg. Even straight legs can look tapered on me because my hips are wide. I also don't want to look like a clown. This is the perfect balance.
