Tips for Pear Shaped Women

Do not choose pieces that will make you look wider on bottom, minimizing what is best about your fantastic curves. Here are a few additional don’ts for plus-size, pear-shapes:

  • Don't wear loud prints or light colors on bottom
  • Don't wear pants that settle above your waist
  • Don't wear pants that narrow at the bottom (this will draw attention to your hips – making them stand out more than usual
  • Don't wear shirt skirts that fit tightly around your lower half.


Jacket & Tops Should End At The Hips

The hips don’t lie and in this instance, they are your fashion truth serum! The hipbone is the line when all tops and jackets should end on a plus-size, 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.
Likewise, avoid cropped tops because they have the same effect. Balance is the key to plus-size, pear shape fashion and a hip-length top or jacket will make it happen!

Footwear Can Make A Difference

The right footwear can make a big different for plus-size, pear shapes. The idea is to try to balance out the curves of your body.
Heels and knee-high boots can help do just that by creating an elongated silhouette. Not only will you likely stand taller, with better posture, but also you will look smoother and leaner.
However, comfort should always be a consideration. It is not worth it to wear uncomfortable heels all day, every day, to look leaner. Instead, try this tip for special occasions when you want to look extra good.
For every day, wear clothing that flatters you and shoes that are comfortable and keep your feet healthy.

Wear A Wrap Dress

A wrap dress is a perfect addition to a pear-shape’s wardrobe. It drapes over the body in such a way that the lower portion is hidden, allowing the best curves to show.
Avoid busy patterns, opt for a solid-colored dress, and let your accessories be the accent. While darker colors usually look best to de-emphasize the lower half of a pear shaped body, you can go lighter with a wrap dress because of its A-line design.
Another wrap dress benefit is that it makes the most of your cleavage, no matter how big or small. It dips just low enough to make the dress sexy, without revealing too much, making the most of your overall curves. So, be sure you wear a proper-fitting plus size bra that gives your breasts optimal support when you sport this kind of dress.
