Women usually have smaller waists compared to the width of their hips than men, so the ratio would be off, and she would likely end up with pants that might fit the width of her hips/butt, but are way too loose in the waist area.

Most modern pants aren't waist-high, and the ones that are are almost always aimed at women (called "high-rise" pants). Most pants rest on top of the hips. I (woman with wide hips) usually wear men's pants and the waist thing is a non-issue. The only issue is that the longer crotch area bunches up when you sit down.

Depends on the shape of your hips. I wore men's pants almost exclusively until my hips changed a lot during pregnancy and I haven't been able to find a comfy pair of men's pants since (and I'm far from the only woman I know with this problem). Glad it works for you, though! The huge pockets are so nice and the fabric is usually sturdier, too.

Oh, I'm sure it does, plus whatever pants you happen to try. I wear men's athletic pants most of the time these days. Women's versions are mostly all tight in the crotch and I've never been a big fan of fabric crushing my vulva.

I mean, belts exist.

You either get big pockets or tight fitting, sexy clothes. Pick one.

Everyone in this thread is acting like guys' clothes don't also have a huge range of fits even within the same measurements...

Let me tell you as a guy with big thighs, the 'difficult fit' problem is not unique to women's clothing. It's just exacerbated by the norm of tight clothes for women. If you want to wear guy's clothes for the pockets, you'll have to deal with the norm of not-tight looks, and that often means belts.

Getting something that has both good form (stylish, fitting) and good function (large pockets) is not easy. For any gender. Especially if you're not willing to throw on a belt and/or wear something baggy.

I just want to say, this is not true. I have a couple pairs of jeans, some skirts, and a few super cute dresses that all have functional sized pockets and yes some are tight fitting and “sexy”. Even my workout leggings have functional pockets. We can have both, they are just difficult to find because so many companies add pockets that can barely hold a chapstick.
