A pear shaped body is generally characterized by a thin and slender neck, narrow shoulders, small bust, and a larger lower body with a shapely waist, generous, rounded hips and tights. Your lines are very feminine and your small waistline is worth of envy. Therefore you should embrace the opportunity to emphasize your assets and learn how to properly address your trouble spots. If you learn these small tricks, your confidence will increase, letting your beauty to shine through. Check out our tips and dress your pear curves to perfection!



  • Tops
    Wide necklines, such as boat neck or cowl neck style blouses can broaden your shoulders, nicely counterbalancing your bottom half. Look for semi-fitted tops and shirts with detailing or belts that define your waist. Shirts with fuller sleeves are also a perfect choice for your body type. You can also shop for blouses that are gathered under you bust, such as the empire-waist tops. You can opt for bright colored, patterned or striped tops as well and match them with dark bottoms to accentuate the upper half of your body.


  • Blazers
    Blazers with puffed sleeves can be an ideal option to balance out your shoulders. In order to focus the attention higher, on your upper body and your face, another great idea is to find blazers with buttons starting under your chest. Avoid those that have a single button at the waist or those that have the widest point on your hips.


  • Pants
    Low rise, boot-cut jeans or wide-leg pants look amazing on your silhouette and accentuate your delicate lines. Look for stretchy jeans because they can fit very well both on your hips and your tights and hug your curves perfectly. Do not buy tapered pants with side pockets, instead choose flowing fabrics and stick to darker colors that deaccentuate your hips.




  • Skirts
    Look for skirts that hit slightly below your waistline, close to the smallest point of your waist. A-line skirts can look fabulous on a pear shaped body, these optically trim the hip and the tights. Try to avoid short, tight skirts and extra layers, they draw attention to the problem areas. Opt for simple, sleek style, knee-length skirts that do a great job for a perfect pear shape.


  • Shoes
    Heels are one of the most advantageous clothing accessories. They nicely elongate your figure and slim your legs. If you aren’t used to wearing stilettos, opt for some that are more comfortable. A perfect pair of heavier style, chunky heels will balance out your calves and give you a stylish look.


  • Accessories
    Chic and sexy accessories like belts, scarves, necklaces and earrings will draw eyes upwards, and turn the attention to your beautiful face. Highlight your face with these eye-catching accessories and feel well on your clothes every day.

      Wow, I'm definitely in the right on my clothes then! I have the pear shape going on (but with the exception of bigger breasts than they mentioned here; 34C). I love boot cut and wide leg jeans and chunky heels. I'm glad I don't have to change my fashion sense...LOL!
