Pear Shape
Characteristics: This shape is characterized by hips that are broader than the bust, and a clearly defined waist.
Best Styles: Drawing attention to the upper body is key. A-line dresses that flare out at the hips, boat neck tops, and wide-legged pants are flattering choices. Combining bright-colored tops with subdued bottoms can create a balanced look.
Tips: Accessories that draw the eye upwards, like statement necklaces or scarves, can be very effective. Avoid very tight pants or skirts that emphasize the hips.
