(NAPSI)-Still pondering the right pants for your body type? Designers have made it easier to find the best fit by offering a myriad of options.

Pleats or no pleats? Low-rise or high-waisted? Straight-leg or full-cut? Whatever your shape, chances are there's a style right for you.

Tummy conscious? Fashion insiders advise staying away from pleats and opting for a flat-front, easy-fitting pant.

One way to shift the focus from a middling midriff is Liz Claiborne's form-flattering "Michaela" pant, which has no waistband and sits neatly below the hip.

Want a sleek, hip-slimming style? Consider the Tabitha style with its streamlined straight hip and wide leg.

Looking to create graceful curves? Pleated styles can add dimension to the mid-area and if they're well cut, do so without seeming bulky. Consider the "Kylie" style, which has a straight waistband, pleats and a relaxed fit.
