Dressing for your body shape made simple. In part 1 - we are focusing on the pear shape.
The pear shape has a small defined waist, smaller bust, narrow shoulders and full hips and thighs.
The aim is to draw the eye away from the widest part - ie hips and thighs. To create a more balanced silhouette add volume to shoulders and upper body. Find tops and jackets that will show off your slender upper body and bottoms that minimise by slimming or elegation
Styles to look for:
Boat, cowl, wide V or U necklines
High waisted trousers and skirts
A-line dresses and skirts
Flat front wide leg or straight leg jeans and trousers
Shrug or gilet for layering
Statement necklace and patterned scarves
Shoulder bags
Looks to avoid:
Bias cut dresses and skirts
Baggy tops and tunics
Patterns or embellishment details on hips and thighs
Low waisted skinny jeans
Low slung belts
