FIT CHALLENGE:Tall, full hips, no butt

STYLE SOLUTION:Look for designs with back pockets and stitching details; they create the illusion of an ample backside. Also look for lines that specialize in tall sizes, such as Paper Denim & Cloth, 7 For All Mankind, Habitual and Rock & Republic. Bonus tip: Sassybax Long Leg Panty will smooth any hip concerns.
