Dress for your Pear Body Shape
Your main aim for your Pear Body Shape is to
broaden your shoulders to balance out your saddlebags. This means
getting a quality push up bra to give you lift and balance and having
great posture. No shoulder hunching. Stand to attention and keep your
shoulders back.
Your legs are short in comparison to your body length
so with rebalancing you can create longer legs.
Look to Style Icons like Sandra Bullock, Katie Homles, Shakira
What To Wear:
- Accessories and designs that draw attention to your upper
body
- Medium to high necklines or if you go for a V neck go
shallow and slashed to make your shoulders appear wider
- Low rise pants to avoid gaping at the waist
- Wide- leg trousers that will skim over your saddlebags
- No front side pockets on trousers or skirts. Go for a flat
front
- A line skirts or flared skirts
- Jackets that emphasis your waist and allow the bottom half
to zoom out and cover your saddlebags
- Platforms, straight chunky heels and knee high boots under
skirts
What Not To Wear:
- Hems or designs that finish at your hip line
- Open pleats on trousers or skirts
- Tapered skirts or trousers like pencil skirts, skinny jeans
or jodphurs
- Stilettos with ankle straps will make your legs look
shorter than they already are and so will ankle boots.
- Skirts of dresses cut on the bias. They will just cling to
your saddlebags
