>>Straight leg from booty to the shoe (not too tight in the thigh and knee)
>>Flat and low back pocket (no high pockets or extra flaps)
>>Alter, for the right length & waist
>>Wide waist band and/or belt
>>Jacket should bisect the booty
>>Slightly dropped waist
>>Slightly flaired, straight leg, or boot cut leg

Brands recommended:

Perfect black pants

>>good quality fabric to skim the leg
>>mid width leg pant
>>brand: Akris "classic side zip pant" $700
>>brand: Banana Republic "Martin" $98
>>brand: Gap Stretch "Curvy" $49
