#CurvyGirlShops: Pants That Don’t Look Like Sacks

The information in this post might be outdated

How many times have you looked at a pair of trousers {at a shop or online} and sighed when you find that they’re not available in your size? For most desi brands, women’s clothing ends at a size Large, and often those large sizes are actually Medium. And if you do manage to find your size, more often than not, the pants or jeans tend to be so shapeless and baggy, making you look like a potato.

While doing our research for this story, we realised that some of these so-called exclusive Indian plus size brands are actually manufacturing sacks in the guise of clothing, with no attention to detail, sub-standard fabrics, and zero style. That is when we decided to scout and find a couple of labels {international, national, and even local}, that love all you fabulous curvy girls out there.

Happy shopping!

Marks & Spencer

When in doubt, head to Marks & Spencer for their trusty jeggings, and jeans that come with the elasticity of leggings, and are available in great colours such as black, maroon, green, and grey along with regular denim washes.

Need something more uplifting, solid, and shape moulding? Then M&S’s treggings {leggings that are constructed to work like trousers} available in grey, black, maroon, and indigo blue should do the trick. Just throw on an oversized shirt,or even a tunic, and you’re good to go. Take our advice: Pick two in each colour, these are really that good. Sizes go up to a UK 20 here. We have also spotted distressed denims, boyfriend jeans, linen pants, and regular cotton chinos that are all on-trend and rather stylish.
