13 Pairs Of Pants That Will Actually Fit Your Butt

by The Candidly Team

If you’re anything like us, trying on pants can be deeply and profoundly demoralizing. When they fit our waist, the thighs and butt are too small. When they fit our butts, the waist is enormous. We’re not sure who’s in charge of making pants in this world, but most of them should be fired.

Except for the wizards who made these.

All 13 of these pants are so well designed, smartly proportioned, so incredibly flattering, and so wildly comfortable, we had to tell you about all of them immediately.

If pants have always been your nemesis, pick one below. Pick two, even.

They’ll fit.

 

1. Maeve The Naomi Ponte Wide-Leg Flare PantS

These pants are extremely stretchy and hold you in like leggings, while keeping that chic wide-leg shape. Wearing them makes you feel like you’re in your pajamas, but you look like some “girl boss magazine editor” that Kate Hudson would play in a rom-com.

Price: $138


 

2. Tronjori High-Waist, Wide Leg Palazzo Pants

Amazon! Can you believe? We bought them in every color. Size up one size for your perfect fit. See them on a real person HERE.

Price: $34


 

3. Daily Practice by Anthropologie Smocked Harem Pants

If you love a sporty, weekend style, these are the ones. They're heavenly soft with a cleverly pleated harem shape that’s also wildly flattering. And they come in plus sizing.

Price: $98


 

4. Everlane The Way-High Drape Pant

These pants sell out the instant they become available so if you see your size, grab it. They cinch your waist and accentuate your curves in just the right way. See more of them HERE.

Price: $128

 
 
 
 

5. Good American Scuba Slim zip

A stretchy skinny pant with actual hold can be the most flattering thing you wear. Plus, we all need a good slim-fit to balance out our looser tops. We love this pair because the sublimely stretchy fabric is also double knit, so you feel held in and smoothed out without feeling restricted. And they go up to 5XL.

Price: $120


 

6. Everlane relaxed chino

We have always been afraid of chinos as big-butted gals, but leave it to Everlane to make a slouchy pair that totally fit over curves while also looking put together and crisp. Throw on a blazer and the best white t-shirt on earth and you have yourself a chic outfit for just about any occasion.

Price: $118


 

7. Universal Thread High-Rise Slim Straight Fit Jeans

Oh, Target. Is there nothing you can’t do? Try. These. Jeans.

Price: $28


 

8. Free People Leo Pants

A similar concept to #1 on the list but a little breezier, beachier. They also sell out almost instantly so if they’re available, snag one.

Price: $70

 
 
 
 

9. Beyond Yoga Spacedye Caught In The Midi High Waisted Legging

Oh, these? Only the single great legging we have ever tried on our bodies ever ever ever. See the truly astonishing side-by-side of these leggings compared to normal high-waisted leggings HERE.

Price: $99


 

10. A&F Curve Love Ultra High Rise Ankle Straight Jean

We can confidently say they these are the best jeans for big butts and thighs ever made. Lots of different colors, and a great size range. See them on real people HERE.

Price: $99


 

11. Free People Bay To Breakers Pants

So this model doesn’t exactly have a larger posterior but that’s Free People’s ish. These drop-crotch pants are AMAZING for major curves. Wildly comfortable and very chic, they’re the pants you always find yourself wearing once you own them. See them on a real person HERE.

Price: $128


 

12. Maeve The Colette Cropped Wide Leg Pants

Sometimes Anthro really does something. This is one of those times. The fit is special. The colors…perfection.

Price: $120


 

13. Universal Standard All Day Cigarette Pant

These might be the best work pants we’ve tried this year—stretchy elastic (and high!) waist, excellent hip-to-waist ratio, and while they’re very crisp, feel more like leggings. Yes.

Price: $178
