This style of Levi's has an excellent fit for my athletic body type ( small waist and upper hip, and bigger thighs.  It's always tough to find pants.  I'd imagine that they would work well for those with a more pear shaped figure.  The fabric is very comfortable and they look mighty sharp as well.  They have just the right rise, which  is really a nice thing these days.  They are not too high in the waist, yet they steer well clear of the plumber's crack design! i ordered 4 more pairs and was satisfied. The do run a little large.
