So, you inherited the hips your mother and grandmother have.
Instead of worrying about your shape, learn to embrace it.
Triangle-shaped gals have a smaller upper body and tend to be a
bit larger in the hip, rear and thigh area. The good news is
curves are in! The bad news is many pear shaped beauties have no
idea how to accentuate their “good areas” and balance their body
shape overall. With a few simple style and clothing tips,
triangle-shaped women can look and feel terrific!
You’re The Exception To Stripes
Have you ever heard women over a size 2 should never wear
stripes, especially of the horizontal variety? Well, you’re the
exception to this rule! The truth is when you’re pear shaped you
need to create a visual effect that adds size or weight to the
upper half of your body. Adding visual weight may sound crazy
when you’re trying to look as flattering as possible. However,
it’s all about proportion and since your bottom half is a bit
larger you need to add visual weight to your upper half to
balance your overall shape. By balancing your overall shape your
entire body will appear well-proportioned and instantly slimmer.
We recommend
Ulla Popken for this item.
A-line Skirts Work Wonders
Women who are born with a pear shape should own at least a
few A-line dresses or skirts. A-line dresses and skirts
instantly offer balance and will accentuate your small waist
while slimming your larger bottom half. When choosing a skirt,
be sure to pick one that sits at the knee. The longer length
will not only allow the item to be appropriate for many settings
(work, home, leisure) but it will also conceal wider hips and
thighs. Pair this type of skirt with a fitted shirt that offers
a strong shoulder. We recommend
Jessica London for this item.
It’s All About The Pants
If you’d rather be dead than wear a skirt, don’t despair!
There are loads of terrific pants and jeans you can wear to
flatter your shape. When looking for the perfect pant, be sure
to stick with dark colors. Slacks in colors of navy, black or
dark grey are ideal. If you’re searching for jeans, be sure to
stick with dark washed colors. No matter what dark color you go
with, be sure to choose a pant with a straight leg. Look for a
pair with a slight flare at the bottom for ultimate proportion
control. Most brands refer to this style of pant as a “bootcut”
option. The straight leg will elongate your bottom half while
the slight flair will balance out your shape. The result will
show a well defined waist and a longer look overall. We
recommend
One Stop Plus for this item.
Detailed Pieces Are Ideal
Pear shaped gals most often want the eye of others to be
drawn upward, toward the neckline and facial area. This is
because the upper body is much smaller than the lower body. To
do this without much effort, choose tops and blouses with extra
details. There’s no need to go overboard, but a top with a few
tacks, ribbons or designs are great. We recommend
Avenue for this item.
