Maybe you could add some polys in that part.

Depends on your bake cage.

But i think the most important would be to jsut first give a try and see how the bake looks like

If you are going to have a successful bake on this object, consider the following

• Do not create the cage until you have verified the 2 steps below has been take.
• The low poly UVs must be split where polygons meet at a 90 degree angle. I noticed your low poly pants have a boarder with no bevel. Be sure to seperate that in the UV's.
• Harden the UV boarders that have said 90 degree splits.
• Verify the above steps have been taken. Once you create your cage, it must cover the low and the high but conform to the surface as closely as possible.
