How to Find Pants That Actually Fit: A Complete Guide for Real Women

One Size Fits All Doesn’t Work but Our Pants Size Guide Does

It is a struggle, alright. What seems like a simple chore or an errand turns out to be one of the most hectic and confounding experiences when a woman decides to buy herself a pair of pants. We understand how tiring it can get to find a pant that fits because of the one-size-fits-all philosophy practiced by fast-fashion brands. You get the ones that sag at the knees, gape at the waist, or are tight in the hips, and the search is never-ending. 

Understand the Measurements & Fit Terms

For women who know life is about juggling between work, travel, and everyday responsibilities, comfort takes the highest priority. That’s why we recommend that women understand the measurements and fit terms – learn their body types by going through the pants fit guide. Some of the body types are:

We know and you know; we both know that there are more than one pair of pants that are the same size but fit completely differently So, what should you look for first?

1. It is important to understand your waist placement, as they vary by pant style.

2. Measure the fullest part of your hips, as they determine how well the pants sit.

3. Don’t forget to measure your thighs, as they play a big role in comfort.

4. The inseam decides the pants leg length and how it fits with your shoes. 

5. When the rise of your pants doesn’t sit right, it affects comfort and appearance. 

6. Understand the difference between true size and vanity size and brand cuts. 

Rekucci’s Curated List of Pants That Fits Like a Dream

Our philosophy is that fits should be on real women, not mannequins, as there is not one single type of body. Women come in different shapes and sizes, needing the best-fitting pants that promise to comfort and flatter. And we never compromise on fabric or style. Here are some of our classic pants: 

Rekucci’s Tips & Tricks for The Right Size

The right kind of fabric and fit moves with you – whether you are running for that early morning subway or a cab or if you are in a hurry to the next meeting or maybe catching a late-night flight. 

  • Try as Many as Pants as You Can

    Sit, walk, and move around in as many pairs of pants as you can to understand pants fitting better. Check the fabrics, inseams, and the rise of your pants instead of a generic number printed on the tag. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that one size fits all the body types, and experiment with different styles and choose the one that suits your personality more than your body. 

  • Consider the Comfort & Functionality

    Comfort is everything while being equally functional. Make sure that your pants fit right and don’t hurt or dig into you when you sit. Consider the aspects of stretch, breathability, and durability. As we keep on changing our postures throughout the day, consider how you sit or when you bend down to see if it fits comfortably. It isn’t and will never be about squeezing into tight pants, but about what suits your body. 

At Rekucci, our belief is that your perfect pair of pants exists, and you just need to look in the right direction. Choosing a pair of best-fitting pants can be fun if you choose comfort, fabric, and designs made for real bodies.
