Without giving yourself a legging-like or skinny-jean-like look, you can taper your pants and look slimmer with a skinnier fit at around the calves that goes skinnier down your ankles. As long as there is enough material to work with, you tailor will manage to do the alteration and be happy with the result.
How much does it cost to get pants tailored smaller?
Shorten or lengthen pant or skirt hem: $14-$16 (or $7-$8 a leg) Taper unlined pant legs: $14.20. Shorten sleeves on shirt/coat/jacket: $18-$30. Take in or let out waistband of pants or skirt: $14-$20.
How many sizes down can you tailor pants?
The rule of thumb is that you can go down two sizes at a maximum, but a suit jacket or blazer only one size too large is a safer option.
