This week, we’re continuing our body shape series with tops and tips for pears! This is absolutely not a complete list of what looks good on each shape–it’s just a sample, with a few simple tips. Also, regardless of what any “fashion” expert on the internet says, you should wear what makes you feel good. There are no “rules”...our goal is to make it easy to find clothes that make you feel fab! The pear body shape is most closely related to the Hourglass-so feel free to borrow some ideas from your body-shape sister! This shape is the OPPOSITE of the Apple, so a good rule of thumb is that things that work for them aren’t great for you. To find tops that fit and flatter the Pear shaped body easily, follow these 3 tips. –Bring the eyes up. The current trends were made for pears (lucky you!). Mocknecks, puff shoulders, turtlenecks, ruffles, and bold stripes are all things that will draw the eye up, and balance out your body. I always say that when current trends are made for you, stock up–so don’t feel bad about doing a little bit of extra shopping right now! –Go shorter. Most of my pear clients came to me in long tops, wanting to hide their hips. It was not a winning strategy. It actually brings the eye down and highlights the parts pears don’t want to show off. Plus, woven tops often pull across the hips and create fit issues. I know it feels scary, but try going for shorter tops that end at high hip. –Use waist details to your advantage. Not all pears have super well-defined waists. If you do, great! Go for wraps, ties, peplums, etc. However, if your waist isn’t well-defined, try a half-tuck to give your body a little waist definition. Not sure what your body shape is?
