Womens Leggings

Want to flatter your figure in an instant? Wear something that gives you a high, cinched waist. Enter: paper bag pants and shorts, a style of bottoms that hit high on the waist, suck you in, and tend to have an adjustable waistline. It's a style made for the us girls who always have room for dessert, but still want to look cute. Everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Gigi and Bella Hadid to Kendall Jenner to Romee Strijd (who just wore paper bag shorts to Coachella) has been spotted sporting the trend.

From wide-leg pants to short-shorts, scroll down for 13 paper bag bottom styles that will show off your curves and keep you comfortable no matter the occasion (or if you decide to get the appetizer, dinner, and dessert at date night).

It's no secret that leggings are the loungewear of choice for comfort purposes, but that doesn't mean they can't look polished enough to wear in public, or even to work. With the help of smart layering and a dose of confidence, you can make leggings your new go-to work pants.
