Take them in through the seat. Suffering from pancake tush? It’s one of the more difficult things to dress around, because pants are constructed to make room for a butt. But you can remove some saggy fabric in the rear.

Take in the sides. Ladies lacking in the hip department often aren’t able to fill out the pants. Yes, trousers come with built-in hips! Taking them in down the side seam will streamline the look of your leg.

Let out the hem or make pants shorter. Pants should be half an inch off the floor. It’s best to have pants for heels and pants for flats, so the hems don’t drag on the ground or look too short with different shoes. Sometimes you can find a happy medium. If you’re only going to do a two-inch heel, it’s not the end of the world to hem your pant to go with flats. But if you’re the type of woman who likes to wear four-inch heels, you really have to have your heels trousers and your flats trousers.

Remove the cuff. Don’t like the look? Get rid of it. But you can’t add one. There won’t be enough extra fabric and there’s really no reason for it.

Remember . . . you could narrow the leg if you want, but that’s a big job.
