A print with lots of background showing -- like on Taraji P. Henson's print pants -- will make you look bigger.

How to Wear Print Pants: Large prints can be really flattering if you have more print than background showing. When there is a substantial amount of background showing, it visually expands the area and makes your bottom half look bigger. Opt for oversized prints that are closely spaced: this type of allover print works to camouflage -- not accentuate -- your problem areas.
