The typical pear shaped figure involves the body being slender and slim up top, while the bottom half is more rounded with big calves and a curvy bottom. the best way to dress a pear shaped figure is to accentuate the smaller parts, while making the bigger parts of the body invisible. To achieve this you need to balance out the body shape with the right type of clothing. It is better to wear subtle, dark colours and patterns below the waist, with bright, powerful colours on top to draw the eye away from those ‘danger points’ below the waist. Dark colours help to make an area of the body look smaller (no wonder the little black dress is so popular!). You also need to stay away from anything too clingy, as it can highlight the larger parts of the body and hide the areas you want to make more visible. However, ruffles on the top part of the body (not below the waist!) help to make you balance out. The best type of dress to wear is a wrap dress, which is the perfect solution for different sized body parts.
This is an ideal dress (featured on Zeleb) for Pear shaped figures, as the top of the dress helps to draw the eye from the lower part of the body, with a low cut neckline and a wrap round belt. The bottom half of the dress is long and flowing, which helps to hide all the lumps and bumps that you don’t want to be seen. On top of this the colour is perfect!
