Wide-leg pants are very flattering. If you have a smaller waist, with wider hips and thighs, they will create an hourglass shape on your body. They make your legs look longer and slimmer than standard jeans. However, you do need to be careful how you wear them or they can make it appear that you have a large tummy.

Wide leg pants are very popular and you will find them in just about any color, print, or fabric. They can make a great choice for work as they look professional if paired with the correct shoes and top. 

When wearing wide-leg pants to work, try to stay away from anything too trendy. You want to look pulled together, not like you just rolled out of bed. If you are wearing wide-leg pants for a night out on the town, go ahead and be trendy! Look for fun prints and colors that will flatter your figure. Try different styles to see what works best with your body shape.

Tips to follow if you are wearing wide-leg pants:

1. Always wear a belt to pull the pants in at the waist. Because your legs have some room, you need to do this or it will make your torso look larger than it is.
2. Make sure they are snug around your thighs and butt so that there is no excess fabric in those areas. If not, it will make your legs and butt look larger than they are.
3. If you want to wear a print, choose something without too much detail so that the focus stays on your face instead of the pants. However, if you have a small waistline with large hips, go for prints as they can camouflage that area.
4. Wear a top or blouse with the same fabric as your pants so they flow together when you walk. This will also help to camouflage any tummy issues you may have, if that is an issue for you. You can find tops in just about every color and print matching the pants.
5. Remember that your pants will get dirty so always carry a small handbag or tote with you for any touch-ups needed throughout the day. I use my large crossbody bag and just keep a wet wipe in it at all times! When doing errands, I find myself wiping down the car seat, door handles, and other surfaces before touching them.
6. If you are wearing wide-leg pants in the summer months, wear a loose tank top or blouse to help keep cool. It will also prevent your skin from sticking directly to the fabric of your clothing.

These are some of the tips for how to wear them. Now let’s get to the fun part — how you can find some that fit!

How to Find Wide-Leg Pants That Fit?

Okay, so how do we actually find a pair of wide leg pants that fit? This really depends on your body type. Let’s break it down:

Thin/Petite: If you are thin or petite, with little to no butt and a smaller waist, then wide-leg pants will look best on your body. You can wear them in any fabric of your choice. They tend not to be too long for this body type either so that is a bonus.

Just be sure to find them in patterns or prints that flatter your body type, but also are not too trendy. You want to look professional for work and you can do just that with these pants!

Average/Petite: If you have an average shape, then wide-leg pants will still look great on you. You can wear them in just about any fabric and print as long as it has a slimming effect. Avoid anything too baggy or loud for work, but go wild when going out at night!

You will likely have no problem finding these in most stores but they may not be in the styles that you would like to see. If that is the case, take a look at Ashley Stewart or Torrid as they have a great selection of wide leg pants.

If you are petite and curvy with an average body shape, then your best bet will be finding wide-leg pants that are made for your body type. Look at stores like Ashley Stewart or Torrid as they sell them in a variety of styles, fabrics and colors.

If you have an average to curvy shape with a larger waist but thin hips/thighs then wide leg pants will look best on you. They will help to slim down the hips and thighs, while making your waist look smaller than it is. Look for pants that are fitted at your waist and then flare out from there. If they are baggy in the thigh area it can make them look like capris on you as well so be careful.

When you just can’t send text messages to one person on your Android phone, try these troubleshooting ways –

Check if the contact is blocked

If text messages are being sent to all other contacts but it just one specific contact that you are unable to send a message to, then probably that contact might be blocked on your phone knowingly or unknowingly or someone who has access to your Android device just might have blocked their number.

To check if a contact is blocked –

1. Launch the Messages app
2. Tap on the three dots
3. Select Spam and Blocked
4. Tap on the three dots
5. Choose Blocked Contacts
6. Check if that number is listed

Note that if you haven’t blocked that number then you need to also make sure that the person you are trying to send a text message to is not blocking you. Who knows if they accidentally or willingly listed your phone number on their blocked list. So, it’s better to ask them directly.

Reboot your Android phone

Sometimes, just a simple reboot can solve your problem. Restarting your device will give it a fresh start and will fix some minor issues like network errors, the device being unresponsive or frozen, etc. It’s better to try this too –

1. Press & hold the Power button
2. Choose Restart/Reboot
3. Your phone will reboot
4. Try sending a text to that number again

Note that the steps to reboot an android device vary with the version. However, the above steps are the most common ones.

Check if the number is working

You will have to check if the number that you are trying to send a text is actually working or not. In order to do so, simply make a phone call and know whether it’s ringing or getting a busy tone, or just switched off.

If it’s ringing or you get a busy tone, it’s clear that the phone number is being used. However, getting a busy tone might suggest us two things – 1) The person is on another phone call or 2) The person blocked you from his/her end.

If you have a common friend, try reaching out to them and ask them to send a text to this specific person and get to know whether only your messages are not being sent or not.

Deactivate iMessage

If you are trying to send text messages to a person who is an iPhone user, then the actual reason behind this could be iMessage. It’s iPhone’s own messaging network that may sometimes block your messages as you are an Android user. So, that iPhone user needs to disable iMessage on his/her iPhone in order to receive messages from you normally. To deactivate iMessage –

Ask that iPhone user to perform these steps,

1. Connect the iPhone to wifi
2. Launch the Settings app
3. Go to Messages
4. Turn off iMessage

Note that the change may take affect only after a few minutes. So, until then you will have to keep your iPhone powered on.
