  • You have narrow shoulders. Your bust and
    waistline are small and petite.
  • You have more voluptuous hips, bottom and
    thighs.
  • You are blessed with the bootylicious
    syndrome.

What to wear?

The challenge is finding apparel that balances the
upper portion with the bottom. Our goal is to
visually slim your bottom half and play up your top.

Flattering tops

  • Trendy slim-fitted empires,scoop-necks or
    boat necks, button up blouses, detailed tops
    balance the pear figure.
  • For colder days, wear princess, single-
    breasted or a-line coats and jackets.


No, Nos!
No tops that hit right at the waist and No waist
length puffers


Slimming bottoms
  • Knee-length a-line skirts with flared hems
    narrow the hips of the pear shape.























  • Low-rise pants, boot-cut pants and jeans
    best compliment the proportion.
  • Always buy pants that fit well in the hip area
    and then visit a tailor to take in the waist or
    adjust the length.

No, Nos!
  • Don't wear super full or clingy skirts.
  • Please no drawstring pants, gathered,
    pleated, cuffed, or tapered ankles.
  • Be cautious when it comes to skinny jeans.

Dresses
  • Empire waist with a-line skirt look the best on
    pear shapes. This rule is perfect to use for
    formal events.
  • Also, an empire waist at knee-length is
    exceptional for a cocktail party such as the
    classic black below.
























No, Nos!
The same rule applies for skirts has it does for
dresses. No full and clingy dresses.


What about those Swimsuits
A swimsuit is the hardest piece to work with as you
already know. Don't worry. There are swimsuits
made just for you but this is what you have to look
for.

  • Find lighter tops and pair with darker bottoms.
  • Purchase bikinis or one-pieces with wide-set
    straps to disguise the smaller shoulders or
    upper frame.

No, Nos!
  • Stay away from boy-leg styles or super-high
    cut legs.
  • No vertical stripes for the bottom half.


  • Put dark colors on the
    bottom or wear one color
    from head-to-toe
  • Purchase a fitted torso
    jacket with a hipbone or
    fingertip length
  • Play up your upper half
    with layering of necklaces,
    chunky jewelry or scarves
  • Try wool-linen blends for
    the bottom. The fabric
    drapes well over curves
  • Invest in a classic wrap
    dress. This classic piece is
    perfect because of the
    fabric's drape. You can
    decide how fitted you want
    it.
Tips:
Jennifer Lopez is a great example of a pear
shape. She knows how to play up her best
features.
