Pear Shape
Filed Under Shopping Tips
Keep these tips in mind when shopping:
- Never wear skirts or dresses cut on the bias - unless you want everyone to focus on your biggest defect.
- Never wear jackets to the hip as you will only accentuate your thunder thighs.
- Remember to balance out your shape by wearing A-line skirts and bootleg or flared trousers.
- Coats are better than jackets.
- Leggings are for the gym and nowhere else.
- Put on an outfit you never end up wearing. Ask yourself exactly why it is not flattering.

Dress and love your body. Yes, you can find clothes that make you love your body so you can show off your figure, no matter your size.
Keep it fitted. The waist is a terrible thing to waste. Accentuate your shape with a blazer nips in at the waist, not a bulky man’s length jacket. Don’t be afraid of color. Black is slimming, but also boring. A dress can be bright, bold and very flattering if it fits in all the right places. Balance it out. When wearing a top with volume and texture keep the bottom simple. Use clean, fitted silhouettes to create a streamlined look. Think tailored. A structured dress hugs curves, which always makes you look slimmer. Makes accessories a cinch. A wide belt worn on a natural waist creates an hourglass figure, even if you don’t have one. Add color. A pop of color under an open black jacket creates a vertical line, elongating your frame. Tailored clothes that really fit are slimming
Silk makes a button-down shirt much more flattering, the fabric flows easily over an ample chest. And an embellished skirt adds instant style.
A demure V-shaped neckline, a solid color, and a cotton jersey fabric make an ultra feminine dress more wearable. Plus, a longer hemline elongates everything.
Update a 50’s pinup girl looked by pairing Capri pants with a short sleeve, scoop neck top that hits just above your cleavage.
The old rule used to be to wear all black to flatter your body. However, looking thin isn’t about color - it’s about making clever choices when it comes to silhouette and details. Enhance your body’s smallest part with a shot of a hot color (like pink) and pick a slightly diagonal print to trick the eyes.
