When it comes to choosing pants for your wardrobe, fit is everything. Now, finding the perfect fit? That is something that continually eludes even the savviest of shoppers. Long legs, short legs, long torsos, short torsos, the list goes on and on. Everyone is built differently and everyone needs a pair of pants that flatters her best. While we may all put our pants on one leg at a time, the pants we choose for our shape are as unique as we are.
Relaxed Atmosphere
A fit that starts out relaxed at the waist, hips and thighs but tapers into a skinny ankle hem provides comfort. A universally flattering shape for most body types, especially shorter petite builds, these pants are flat fronted and made of a supple jersey material. Plus, they can easily be taken from casual to elegant with simple wardrobe changes.
Eileen Fisher Slim Slouchy Jersey Ankle Pants, $138. Available at Tiger’s Eye. 49 E. Main St., Lititz. 717.627.2244. tigerseyelititz.com

Straight Ahead
With a flat front, wide waistband and sleek streamlined leg, these pull-on straight-legged pants are a necessity for anyone’s closet. There are no buttons, snaps or pockets, just an easy, flattering pair of pants. Perfect for work and especially for travel, the fabric of these is wrinkle free. Consider buying multiple pairs of these — because they come in a variety of colors and prints.
Krazy Larry Sand Pull On Pant, $123. Available at Tiger’s Eye.

To the PonteÂ
Finding the right fabric for your figure is often times as important as the shape of the pants. Ponte knit, a sleek stretch knit, is the perfect weight and texture for bottoms. This fabric is always popular because of its comfort and ability to hold shape and color. Another great feature of these pants is the top-stitched seaming, creating an illusion of long legs, whether you really have them or not.
Lynn Ritchie Gray Ponte Knit Pant, $121. Available at Tiger’s Eye.
Â
Wide Open
Not only do these pants offer a fresh take on the traditional chino pant, but the wide leg is the must have silhouette of the moment. With a higher waist, fitted through the hip and wide leg cut all the way down, these pants flatter almost any figure, but especially that of women with legs for days. The cropped length is perfect for a fresh look and to show off a great pair of shoes.
Wide-Legged Cropped Chino Pant in Dark Driftwood, $89.50. Available at JCrew. jcrew.com
