Problems of Pear Shape-

We hear the girls of this shape complain a lot about their weight gain at lower bottom around their hips and thighs.But not all pear shape girls are overweight, every so oftenthis these girls can be quite skinny, with heavier lower half while the rest of the body slim.

How to dress-

 The idea is to draw the attention to the upper part of the body and  minimize the hip and thigh area .
       Or
Create an illusion of a wider shoulder and fuller bust line, in order to balance out the lower half of the body.

Choosing the Right Top/Blouses-

Draw all the attention to upper part of the body.You are blessed with sexy shoulder,slender arms and fabulous back.If you feel daring enough flaunt your shoulder wearing off-shoulder tops.May be it is not suitable for everyday wear,but you can choose garments of same cut & style incorporate them into similar practical items.

Bang an impact in halter neck blouses & stringed top.In traditional wear, a saree blouse with spaghetti straps will do all the wonders.Sleeveless or spaghetti tops will give your shoulders a broader appearance and will create the balance you are looking for.

Tops with eye catching design ,fun colors and patterns will accentuate your upper body so hips and thighs will seem narrower.But do not pick big prints,they can make you look larger.

Looking for that perfect night out,sparkly tops adds interset to your look.Pay more attention on your upper body concentrate less on hips.Tops in shimmery and shiny fabrics will enhance the the top part of the body drawing  attention off  the lower half.

Intersting necklines,Ruffles and puffy sleeves on your top immediately attracts attention to the “best” part of your body, while taking it away from the problematic area.

Nothing works better than long top or tunic top teamed with leggings.Indian kurtis are an excellent option to hide hips and thighs.

Dresses to look for-



Wear kind of dress that adds visual interest and pulls attention on top part of body.For this look choose dresses with ruffles,patterns and details around the neck.Addition around the shoulder will create illusion of wider shoulder, and create more hourglass sillhoutte. Dresses that flaunt your slimmer upper body and flows nicely along the hips looks great on this shape.

Choosing the Right Bottom-

  • Opt for darker color solid bottom.Darker colors worn below the waistline gives a slimming effect.If you are fond of brighter colors like me keep it for upper part of the body.
  • Lot of pear shaped woman get frustrated about their fit on pair of jeans.Even though jeans fit their hips and thigh they practically fall loose around their waistline.Sounds familiar.So how to bring out those bootylicious  you?Lets find out.
  •   Boot cut jeans are the best option for this shape.Boot cut jeans,widened below the knee balance out heavier hips and thighs.Adding width to the lower part of leg will make your hip and thigh area look small.

  • Slight fare is what we are taking about,do not confuse it with wide legged pant.
  • Straight leg jeans can also be good option,combing it with high heals can make it a killer combo.
  • Tapered trousers and skinny jeans are strict no no. It will make the thighs and hips look bigger and make the shape more pronounced
  • Solid coloured  knee-length pencil skirt or A-line skirt goal elongate your figure
  • Stay away from mini skirts as it emphasise thighs,instead choose pleat free simple styles that just end below knee.
