Wide hips? Here’s how to cleverly conceal them
Wide hips are a symbol of femininity and not something that should just be hidden. Often, this feature is accompanied by a narrow waist, giving a curvy figure typical of Mediterranean women. Studies show that even with a few extra pounds, a woman with a well-defined waist-to-hip ratio is considered more attractive than a slimmer figure with different proportions, such as a rectangular shape. So if you have well-shaped hips, learn to accentuate and enjoy them. If you want them to appear more harmonious in relation to the rest of your body, follow our styling tips: Find out which pieces to choose with a bit of strategy and flair.
Wide-Leg Pinstripe Pants: Timeless Elegance
Wide-leg pants are the perfect ally for women with pronounced hips. The Victoria model, a women's cargo pant with lurex stripes in a straight fit by Mason's, is perfect for elongating and flattering the lower body. The fine stripes and straight cut create an optical effect that minimizes curves, making the silhouette look more balanced. This piece is incredibly versatile: perfect for the day paired with a blouse or a colorful sweater, and flawless for the evening with a silk top and high heels. Every woman should have at least one pair of these pants in her wardrobe to face any occasion in style.
Palazzo Jeans: Comfort and Femininity
Another strategic piece is the palazzo jeans. This model highlights the narrow waist, a strong point for women with wide hips, and falls straight down from the hips, naturally camouflaging the curves. The Victoria 5-pocket jeans in denim by Mason's is an excellent example: with its wide cut and stretch fabric, it offers comfort and a flawless silhouette. Pair it with a flowy blouse or a tailored jacket for a casual-chic look that stands out.
For those who love skirts and dresses, the A-line model is a winning choice. Whether knee-length, midi, or full-length, this piece accentuates the waist and falls softly over the hips, creating a balanced figure. A-line skirts and dresses are incredibly feminine and lend themselves to both casual and elegant looks, always ensuring a refined and comfortable outcome.
A clever trick to divert attention from the hips is to focus on accessories. A bright-colored top, a bold necklace, chandelier earrings, or a turban can draw the eye to the upper body, creating visual balance.
What to Avoid for a Flawless Look
For a slimming effect, avoid pants with horizontal stripes and overly vivid patterns. Shiny fabrics and light colors can emphasize curves, while a top hem that ends at the widest part of the hips risks drawing attention right there. Another secret ally is shaping underwear, which sculpts the figure and gives a more uniform appearance.
By following these tips, you can highlight your hips and always feel comfortable with elegant and timeless pieces from Mason's. Explore our collection and find the perfect styles to enhance your natural beauty.
