Tired of pants that gap at the waist, cling in the wrong places, or never hit at the right length? This guide cuts through the confusion - we'll show you exactly which style flatters your body type based on design features that actually matter: waistbands that don't dig, fabrics that skim without squeezing, and silhouettes tailored to real proportions. Find your perfect match in under 2 minutes.
Select your body type to get started
Our pants are available in XS-3X and designed to flatter every body. Many people are a combination of types - use what resonates with you!
For Petite Frames (5'4" and Under)
Best Choice: Motion Capri
Why it works: The capri length avoids overwhelming shorter frames while the body-skimming fit creates visual balance. The straight leg elongates without excess fabric, and the wide ruched waistband doesn't overpower petite torsos.
Styling tips:
- Style for casual days or light workouts - versatile enough for both
- The straight leg creates a sleek, polished look that's more refined than leggings
- Fitted through hips with a relaxed fit below the knee for comfort
- Pair with fitted tops to balance the body-skimming silhouette
- Note: Runs small - check the size chart and consider sizing up
Also Great: Endurance Crop Pant - the crop length is ideal for petites with no hemming needed. Or try Tulip Skirted Leggings - the ankle length is perfect for petites and the skirt detail adds interest without bulk, or the Motion Bootcut Pant for a classic bootcut silhouette that flatters.
For Tall Frames (5'8" and Above)
Best Choice: In-Motion Pant (Full-Length)
Why it works: Full-length actually hits at the right spot on taller frames. The flared leg balances height beautifully, adjustable ties let you customize exact length, and the long, lean silhouette complements tall figures.
Styling tips:
- Wear full-length with boots or heels
- The flare shows off your long legs
- Wide waistband creates proportion
- Try monochrome looks to emphasize height
Also Great: Harmony Slouch Pant - the relaxed fit works well on taller frames and adjustable leg openings accommodate longer legs. Or try the Everyday Active Pant for a sleek, fitted option perfect for active lifestyles, or the Advantage Legging for a full-length legging that actually fits tall frames.
For Curvy/Hourglass Figures
Best Choice: Motion Bootcut Pant
Why it works: The classic bootcut silhouette beautifully balances curvy hips and creates a long, lean line. The wide, smoothing waistband holds you in without digging, while MotionWeave fabric skims curves without clinging or squeezing. The bootcut flare balances fuller hips, and just-right stretch moves with you.
Styling tips:
- The bootcut flare creates beautiful balance with curvy hips - embrace it!
- Pair with fitted or tucked-in tops to show off your defined waist
- The wide waistband smooths your midsection without digging in
- Wear with heels or wedges to elongate the leg line and maximize the bootcut effect
- Try monochrome looks to create a long, lean silhouette
- Layer with structured blazers or cardigans for a polished look
Also Great: In-Motion Pant - the flared leg beautifully balances curvy hips and the wide waistband smooths your midsection. Or try the Endurance Crop Pant for a streamlined fit, or the Everyday Active Pant for fitted all-day support.
For Athletic/Straight Figures
Best Choice: Everyday Active Pant
Why it works: The streamlined fit creates a sleek silhouette while comfortable stretch performance fabric provides just-right stretch and light support. The versatile design works for everything from workouts to everyday wear, and the fitted style shows off your athletic build.
Styling tips:
- Pair with fitted tops to create a balanced look
- Layer with longer tunics or cardigans to add dimension
- Works perfectly for active days or casual outings
- Try belted tops to define your waist
Also Great: Endurance Crop Pant - the performance-ready design is perfect for active lifestyles and the crop length keeps you cool. Or try Tulip Skirted Leggings - the skirt overlay creates curves and dimension.
For Pear-Shaped Figures
Best Choice: Tulip Skirted Leggings
Why it works: The skirt overlay provides coverage exactly where you want it - over hips and thighs - while the fitted legging portion shows off slimmer calves and ankles. The skirt detail creates visual balance and adds feminine flair, while the comfortable waistband sits smoothly without digging in.
Styling tips:
- The skirt provides flattering coverage while keeping you comfortable
- Pair with fitted or cropped tops to balance proportions
- Draw attention up with statement necklaces or earrings
- Works beautifully with tunics, long cardigans, or jackets

For Apple-Shaped Figures
Best Choice: Harmony Slouch Pant
Why it works: The wide rib waistband with drawstring doesn't dig into your midsection, the relaxed fit through the stomach area is comfortable, soft woven fabric drapes beautifully, front pockets draw the eye away from the midsection, and adjustable leg openings let you customize fit.
Styling tips:
- Let the waistband sit comfortably (don't cinch too tight)
- Longer tops or tunics create vertical lines
- Open jackets elongate torso
- Show off slimmer legs with the adjustable hem
Also Great: Motion Bootcut Pant - the bootcut style elongates your legs and draws the eye down, creating a balanced silhouette. Or try the Endurance Crop Pant for a comfortable, easy-wearing option in all sizes, or the Stretch Cotton Lounge Pant for relaxed comfort.

Why Fit Matters (And Why Our Pants Get It Right)
When pants fit well, you feel confident and ready to take on the day. But traditional pants often come with frustrating fit issues: waistbands that gap or dig in, fabric that's too tight in the thighs but loose in the waist, unflattering lengths, or material that clings in all the wrong places.
