The
most common body shape is D Pear Shape. As a Pear the widest part of
your body is below your waist, around the Hip Area. Remember one can be
Tall, Short, petite heavy or small but still be a pear shaped. Your
Fashion Goal is to elongate your figure to reduce or hide your heavy
bottoms. It is to Balance hips and shoulders while showing off your
curves. The key here is to emphasize top half. For example, if the eye
is drawn to your cute top pr awesome jewellery on your neck or a stole
it takes off the focus from your heavy bottom.
Pear shapes look best in empire-waist dresses that stop just above the
knee. A belted shift dress will emphasize your small waist while
narrowing your hips and butt. To elongate your legs, pair a strapless
dress that flares at mid-thigh with a pointy-toe heel. For a truly savvy
daytime look that's sure to turn heads at the workplace, consider a
simple suit dress with a structured jacket that falls just to the top of
your hip.

The most common body shape is D Pear Shape. As a Pear the widets part of your body is below your waist, around the Hip Area.
Remember one can be Tall, Short, petite heavy or small but still be a pear shaped. Your Fashion Goal is to elongate your figure to reduce or hide your heavy bottoms. It is to Balance hips and shoulders while showing off your curves. The key here is to emphasize top half. For example, if the eye is drawn to your cute top pr awesome jewellery on your neck or a stole it takes off the focus from your heavy bottom.
A well padded bra, preferably push up is important as
it will
balance your upper and lower body a bit more if that's what is needed. A
t-shirt but with right length -finishes two or
three inches below the top of your trousers/skirt. Anything with "cape"
type sleeves, or batwing sleeves, are good, as they can make your
shoulders seem wider/stronger and provide balance to you hips. Make sure
that it fits closer around the waist, as in pear
shapes this is usually
well defined and narrower than the rest of your body. Be sure to not
get an oversized one they will simply miss the waist out and create the
impression that you are triangular. Blouses work with most shapes to be
honest, but one of the best ways to wear them casually is with puffy
sleeves (again, they create the illusion of wider shoulders) buttoned
just up to the bust with a low necked t-shirt or vest top underneath,
which creates the impression of a fuller bust. Any colour or pattern
should work well. Tunic style tops that gather at the
waist, and belted tops are good to go on with so you can control how
much you emphasize your
waist.

The
key is to wear shirts that draw the eye toward the face; show off your
cleavage with a plunging scoop, rounded, squared or V-shaped neckline. A
boldly
colored wrap top or draping halter will add volume to your bust line and
widen your shoulders. To play up toned shoulders without overwhelming
them, choose jackets with subtle shoulder pads or high-cut armholes.
Make sure to select a jacket with a defined waist to show off your small
tummy and avoid looking boxy. A belted coat or jacket is ideal. This
can avoid the possible triangle
effect and flaunt your waist at the same time. Also, long
coats, finishing between mid-thighs and knees tend to look lovely.
Minimize a pear shape's characteristic assets with slimming down on Hips. A-line silhouette is apt in here, A
skirt that falls straight down from the widest part of your hip. A
high-waisted straight-leg trouser or dark-wash denim will shorten a
longer torso and distract from eyes on to wide hips. If you're petite, avoid
leg-shortening trousers like boot cut jeans; taller pears can get away with a slight
flare. Steer clear of pockets and decorative embellishments or eye catching belts that call
attention to the hip and thigh area; stick with clean, straight lines
for an effortlessly chic look.
To summarize it all up:
Remember to minimize your lower half and focus attention upward.
DO's:
- DO try a-line skirts, which camouflage wider hips.
-
HEM line of pants, skirts and dresses need to be wide to balance the hips.
- DO remember to experiment with light-colored tops and dark-colored bottoms for contrast.
- DO look for boat neck tops, square and cowl necklines.
- DO wear strapless, halter dresses to show off arms and even out proportions
- Do Wear anything with a padded shoulder; the extra bulk on the shoulder will balance out the hip width.
- DO try styles with ruffles on top this emphasize the upper half
- DO wear jackets that hit right above the waist.
- DO opt for pointy-toed shoes to elongate your legs
- Remember the GURU MANTRA of A-LINE bottoms
- SHOW OFF the Small waist, by wearing Aline's or Tight Belts yup not on the hips but on the waist.
DON'T wear clothing that draws attention to hips and thighs, such as cargo pants or print skirts.
Avoid skinny or drain pipe like trousers or jeans.
Do Not wear Oversized clothes, they'll add volume make you look out of shape and boxy.
Remember to be Simple, yet be Stylish.
