Clothes to wear for pear shaped figure?

From one pear shaped woman to another, whatever you do, don’t wear your pants 2 sizes too small. It creates muffin tops and nothing draws more attention to your lower area than that.

Boot-cut is your best choice in jeans. The roominess below the thigh area will make your hips look smaller. The hipbone is the line when all tops and jackets should end on a pear shaped figure, because this visually divides your body into two halves minimizing the lower half. Stay away from any jackets that are too long and do not give you that visual break, they will only make your bottom half look bigger. Also avoid cropped tops because they have the same effect. Balance is the key to pear shapes and a hip-length top or jacket. I hope that helps.

Blouses with a lot of detailing, tops in all sorts of prints with lighter and brighter colors, or textured fabrics are what you want to look for in your tops.

Puffy sleeves and tops that hug the shoulders or ones with wide-set straps will help to visually widen the chest and shoulders.

Look for necklines that are scooped, draped, v’d, rounded or squared. Any neckline that has a lower and wider neckline will look great. These will emphasize your bust and draw attention to your face. Also look for an under-wire or molded bras to help with balance. A halter top that ties at the neck will give the shoulders the appearance of width they need, and this will help balance out your hips and thighs.
