[bc_video video_id="6302418120001" account_id="2226196965001" player_id="rkljM4WDEg"] Pants have really come a long way in the last few years. Comfort is our highest priority. Here are some of the trendiest styles to add to your wardrobe this season.

The Classic

These pants offer a narrow leg, they're not skinny, they have pockets, and feature a non-stretch woven fabric. This style is flattering on any body type!

The Transitional Pant

This style has no pockets, offers belt loops, and sports a wider thigh and calf. They offer a straight-leg fit. These are great for someone who is pear-shaped, curvy, has a thicker waist, has heavier legs, but who loves straighter pants. Looks great with tucked-in tops. This look pairs well with a variety of shoes!

The Fluid Pant

This pant is drapey and generally dressy, but the pattern makes them more playful. The thigh is a bit more generous with one pleat and a self-belt. The weight is perfect for dress and pant combos. Wear them slightly longer than the ankle and with a heel or an open sandal. These are great for most body shapes.

The Wide Leg, Pleated Pant

These are double pleated, very wide-legged pants. The non-stretch fabric allows for little to no give . In order for the pleats to sit flat, often sizing up works for this look. Tucking tops into the waistband will generally fill in the waist, belting can pull it in too, or even tailoring. These pants flatter hourglass, straight, curvy or pear shape body shapes well.

The Cropped, wide leg, knit pant

This pull-in shape has become a favourite for most women over the last several years. They are cropped, and wide and should hit between the ankle and the calf. That length makes the leg look longer. The center-exterior seam gives the leg structure Wear these pants with casual, chunkier loafers, sneakers. Every body shape can rock these pants.

The Skinny Flare

This pull-on pattered version is the season’s it pant. The thigh is skinny by the knit offers a bit of give. The repetitive pattern and dark background conceal a less-than-perfect thigh. The sewn-down hem adds structure to the knit fabric. A longer top looks best with this shape, covering the top third of the leg, and emphasizing the flare. The flare balances out your hips Wear these long over a heeled slide or a platform shoe. Hourglass and straight figures will look great in this shape

[bc_video video_id="6302118471001" account_id="2226196965001" player_id="rkljM4WDEg"] We live in a pop 'em out, bounce back culture which creates unrealistic expectations and dangerous standards for new moms during a stressful and overwhelming time. One of the many major changes women experience is their new body, which is no longer embraced by society the way the baby bump was. Rather than mourning yesterday’s body or yearning for tomorrow’s weight loss, dress your body for today, show it compassion and remember that it created a human. Here are some comfy and stylish pieces to help you feel more comfortable with your body postpartum.

Leggings – But Better

Leggings offer thicker material, high-waisted, tummy compression band, smooths, and shapes. They're super versatile so you can wear them casually or dress them up. Aritzia has some great options!

Opt for Oversized

Upsize your favourite staples like jeans and blazers! Think high-waisted to avoid muffin top and highlight the waist. To achieve the oversized look, check out Good American.

Non-Traditional Postpartum Tops

These styles are not your typical postpartum tops. Comfy bodysuits with a scoop neck elongate the neck and are breastfeeding friendly and they don’t roll. You can take a basic t-shirt but crop it, highlighting the waistline and are breastfeeding-friendly.

Roomy, Comfy Dresses

The most comfortable styles include Empire waistlines since they rise the waist; Shirt dresses are comfy and can be worn loose, tied up to highlight the waist or open; Baby doll dresses are structured on top and roomy on the bottom. Check out the maternity sections at MANGO, H&M, and Pretty Little Thing for some great options.

Consider Support/Compression

SKIMS has a great line of loungewear and shapewear like Core Control Mid-Thigh Shorts. Remember that shapewear does have limitations – won’t help you lose weight or permanently change your figure.
