How to Look Good in Jogging Pants

Get the look right.

Few women have a shape to rival Elle "The Body" Macpherson's or a rear as pert as Kylie Minogue's. But by choosing a jogging pant that suits your body shape, it is possible to look fit while keeping fit.

Big Bum?

Look good from behind

Avoid jogging pants that cling to your rear if you are conscious of your butt. Opt instead for a wide or straight-legged jogging pant. These give a more flattering silhouette.

Wide Waist?

Make your waist look smaller.

Steer away from jogging pants with elasticated waists if your waist is wide. For a more slimming effect, select sports pants with a wide waistband that sit on the hips. This will lengthen the body and draw attention away from the waist.

Short Legs?

Get the length right.

Choose skinny or tapered jogging pants if you want to make your legs look longer. Avoid Capri or ¾ length pants if your legs are short. Cropped joggers make legs look shorter and hips and bums look wide.

Wide Body?

Go monochromatic for a heightened effect.

Opt for a monochromatic look if you want to look slimmer. Jogging pants that are the same color as your trainers and top elongate the body and can make you look several inches taller.
