I’m 5’2” and a ‘bigger girl,’ the viral TikTok pants are perfect, the elastic hides my belly without digging in
A FASHIONISTA uses her social media to help guide those shoppers with a loose belly like hers.
She said the viral TikTok trousers are a must.
Content creator Rachel Power (@life_with_rachel) inspires confidence in women with shapely bodies like hers through her shopping hauls and styling videos.
In one clip, she reviewed the pants that have been making their rounds on TikTok.
The wide leg pleated trousers from Halara – which are currently on sale from $39.95 to $29.95 – have gone viral thanks to their ability to flatter all body types.
So, Rachel put them to the test.
“Look I get it, because not everyone has a belly like this,” she began, pointing at her apron belly that hangs over her leggings.
“And so, I’m here for those girlies who have a belly to show you exactly how these pants look.”
Rachel revealed that she is a size 14-16 and stands at 5-foot-2, so she bought the pants in an XL short.
“They are the perfect length.
“They also have a lot of stretch,” she noted, pulling at the elastic waist band.
She said the number one feature, however, is the fact that it fits comfortably no matter what position you’re in.
“One of my favorite things is that when you do the sit test, which I’ll just sit right here, it doesn’t dig into your stomach.
“It’s elastic but it’s not like,” she said, making a suctioning noise to demonstrate what she didn’t want to happen.
“So, I love it.”
To style the pants, she paired them with a lace bodysuit.
“Look how cute guys.”
Besides the comfortable amount of room, she said the pleating was a plus because it kept her stomach in check.
“I think if you wear them lower, it doesn’t look great. But when you pull them up to your waist, it hides your belly if your belly folds over a bit.
“And wearing a nice bodysuit helps with that as well.”
If you have a similar body type, she said they’re a great buy.
“It is hard to find comfortable, cute clothes as a bigger girl, let alone flattering and all that, so I am happy.
“This is a look.”
Viewers were thankful for the try-on haul.
“Bro, keep posting. We’re the same height and body type. Love you queen,” one person wrote.
“Thank you for this. Loving the review and now I have more stuff to spend my money on lol,” added another.
