STYLE SECRETS: Pear Shape

The most common figure proportion for women is the Pear shape. It can be classified as the widest part of your body and is below your waist, around your hips.  Perfect pears need to create some balance between their small  and slim shoulders and a more curvy bottom and hips

 

Wideleg Trousers create balance

Team bold, bright tops with darker bottoms that disguise hips and thighs

Look out for Pencil skirts that kick out at the knee

For small shoulders try structured or detailed shapes like military-style jacket. 

A Skater dress is ideal as it skims over hips and shows off your slim waist and shoulders
