So you are looking for the best clothes for a pear shaped body? You have come to the right place. As a professional stylist for over twenty years I have lots of tips and suggestions to get you started. In this post I include options for a standard, petite and plus size pear shaped body. As a pear shape you tend to have a slim waist but your hips and bottom are slightly heavier than your top. The best way to dress is to address the imbalance. So what should you look out for? When searching for clothes consider the following;
Below you will find some excellent choices for the best dresses for pear shapes. Consider fit and flare, empire lines and knee length or just below the knee.
Generally, boot cut, flared or straight leg jeans work best on a pear. If you love skinny jeans, it is not that you can not wear them but be aware it will enhance that wider shape. Avoid anything with side pockets.
An A-line skirt is the most flattering for you. You can also wear flared or pleated skirts. A pencil skirt, in a similar fashion to the skinny jeans will show off that shape. If you are proud of it go for it, if you are not avoid the pencil styles.
A boat neck, Bardot, or off shoulder top work really well for you. You can also wear a square neck with puff sleeves or have detailing like a pussy bow to draw attention upwards.
So there you have it all my ideas on the best way to dress a pear shaped body. What have you found that works?
Remember, when shopping for a pear body shape the key is to balance out the hips at the top half of your body. Skim over the hips in darker shades and add detailing at the shoulders or neck, and choose brighter or lighter colours that your bottom half.
