This post is especially for my pear-shaped readers. If you are fuller through the hips and thighs and smaller in your torso and shoulders, you are pear-shaped and this post is for you!..
Best tops for pear-shaped bodies
1. Peplum
The quintessential waist-defining top. And the dolman sleeve shown here adds volume to your top half.
2. Square-neck
Any open neckline (a V-neck works, too) shows off your collarbone and chest, helping draw the eye up.
3. Cowl-neck
Similar to an open neckline, this draws the eye up and adds volume thanks to the draped fabric.
Best jeans for a pear-shaped figure
1. Straight
We especially love NYDJ’s curve-conscious jeans for pear-shaped bodies
2. High-waisted
In medium to dark washes, they’ll make your legs look a mile long.
3. Slim-straight
A skinny-jean alternative that skims the thighs rather than squeezing them.
Best dresses for pear-shaped bodies
1. A-line
The roomier skirt falls away from the hip instead of clinging to it, which helps streamline your bottom half.
2. Fit-and-flare
Similar to A-line dresses, but usually with a more defined waist and more flounce in the skirt.
3. Off-the-shoulder
What better way to draw the eye to your upper body than with a completely bare shoulder?
Now that you know what styles are most flattering on a pear body type, we’re going to show you how that translates into a complete outfit. Taking pieces from the categories above, we’ve put together three looks so you can visualize how it all comes together…
