Pear bodies are smaller on top, with narrow shoulders and chest, with a bigger bottom half, including full thighs, hips, and a boo-ty to die for. You want to balance the top half by creating the appearing of a wider upper body, as well as add structure and shape to the waist.
LOOK FOR:
Accessories! - Go crazy on top. Pick out some chunky necklaces or dangly earrings to bring the attention to the upper half of your body. An embellished neckline on your top can also do the trick, as well as some shoulder pads (if you’re feeling extra brave!)
Waist definers - A-line dresses will create a look to your figure that will emphasise your waist. Pick dresses with decorations on the bodice, such as beads or sequins, and focus will be drawn to the upper-middle section of your body.
AVOID:
Attention to hips! - Don’t choose pants or skirts with a bright design on the hip – this adds bulk and is not what you want. Cargo pants, or bottoms with buttons or pockets around the hips, won’t do you any favors.
Attention to your behind! - Tight, stretchy dresses or tube-shaped skirts are a no-go; that fabric and fit won’t be forgiving.
