Reducing fat in the hips alone is not possible and it might look awkward, if you have fat in the other parts of the body. The best thing that you can do is to reduce the overall fat index in the body and in the process tone down and shape your hips. Once you’ve reduced body fat, you can use exercises like stomach crunches and hula hoops to shape your hips. Hips are a difficult place to get rid of fat and the most drastic method is to opt for liposuction, which of course comes with many side effects. In short a good diet and exercise is required to reduce fat.
