The Difference Between Dragging Through Your Day And Feeling Great On Your Feet? These Arch Support Insoles

What: Banana Republic Contoured Pants

Why: Hips make a woman a woman. It’s a biological fact. Hence, a lot of us are pear-shaped. So why, why, why are so many pants cut to feel disgustingly tight around the butt and thighs while fitting perfectly on the waist? Buy a bigger size to accommodate the hips and you get the gappy waist problem. Tailoring is a pain, not to mention expensive. Well, Banana Republic has come to the rescue with its new Contoured Fit pants, which—gasp!—truly flatter a woman’s natural shape while hiding wideness. (No wonder they’re a hit.) Sitting right below the waist, the pants—linen, wool, jeans, chinos—actually curve through the hips and thighs and fall straight from there. Flawless. Try them on and you’ll fall in love. A near-miracle: Pants-shopping can actually be fun now.

Prices: $79–$98
