Second to the hour
glass figure, women with pear shaped bodices are generally thought of as very
sexy and feminine. Just like the fruit, women with a pear shape body tend to be
smaller at the torsos as their shoulders are narrow and they have a relatively small
bust. In addition, they have a well defined waist line but their hips and
thighs are generally wide. Celebrities such as Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and
Shakira are women bearing the pear shaped body at its finest.
Women with the
pear shaped body can also get a lot of unsolicited attention from their male
counterparts, which makes them very conscience of the size of their thighs and
hips. As such, much time is spent trying to create the illusion of smaller hips
and thighs. However, we say embrace who you are and purchase clothing that will
show your curves but takes the attention away from areas that are truly
problematic. Following these few simple tips will make you feel sexier and more
comfortable when strutting down the street and help build the confidence that
you need.
Shirts &
tops
Choosing the right
top is essential to a pear shaped woman, as the aim is to draw attention the
upper part of her body away from her hips and thighs, in order to create a
proportioned and balance look. Fitted tops with bold designs, detailing and
colours are a great choice. However, they either stop at your the hips or cover
your bottom so as not to emphasize the width of your hips and thighs. As your
bust area is smaller tops with cowl necks, square cuts or bateau necklines are
a great find.
Jackets
The same rule that
applies to tops applies when choosing the length of your jacket, stay away from
those that cut off at the bottom. Jackets that are waist length or ¾ should be
used to minimize or cover problem areas. Double breasted jackets and those with
detailing on the shoulders are a good choice for bringing attention to the top
of your body.
Jeans & trousers
A good pair of
trouser can work wonders for your look. Avoid Lycra or materials that tend to
cling as they will show those bumps that we are trying to hide. Wide legged,
loose fitting, flat fronted or softly pleated trousers are the best look for
you.
Finding the right
pair of jeans for a pear shaped woman is generally difficult as your waist is
super small while your hips and thighs are wide. As such, tailored or stretch
jeans with boot or flare cuts will be a wise choice to avoid the gathering of
the waist of your jeans or a gaping hole when you sit. However, there are now
urban brands of jeans such as JLo and Apple Bottoms that are trying to cater to
the needs of the pear shaped female. Jeans in dark colours are also more aptly
suited as they have a slimming effect. Stay clear of jeans with the washed out
design on the thighs, they will make your thighs look bigger.
Skirts
A-Line skirts are
a good pairing for pear shaped women as they skim over your curves without
making you look heavy and bulkier. These skirts should be flat-fronted or soft
pleated and cut at the knees. Short skirts on pear shaped women tend to expose
those problematic areas.
Dresses
At all times
maintaining a proportioned look will be the concern of the pear shaped woman.
As such, halter tops or spaghetti straps dresses will bring attention to your
top by letting your shoulders appear wider. Avoid dresses that clings tightly
to the bottom of your body, look for those that will glide down your curves and
will not let your bottom half look heavier than it really is.
Underwear
As you try to
bring attention to your top, you should invest in push up bras or any other
that will let your breast appear bigger. Wearing slimming bottoms such as shape
wear, which will help to smooth out the curves. Victoria secrets and Wonderbra
are a good place to start.
