Typically pears have:
- A long or slender neck
- Sloping or narrow shoulders
- Narrow back Small to medium bust
- Defined waist Curvy hips and backside
- Full thighs and calves
Do's
- Wear a straight, boot cut or slightly flared leg.
- Wear dark colors on the bottom.
- Wear A-line or straight skirts.
- Wear Push-up bra to balance your top half
- Wear Wrap dress - the perfect solution for the different-sized tops and bottoms
- Focus on great tops –bright colors and tailored or fitted tops help accentuate the waist.
- Look for fitted (not tight) T-shirts. V-necks, turtlenecks and open collars all call attention to the face, which is always a good thing.
Don'ts
- Wear anything that tapers at the calf -- you'll only make your thighs appear larger.
- Tuck in tops or overly define your waist like wearing a tight belt. (the smaller your waist looks the bigger your hips will look)
- Wear big cargo pockets or excessive zippers around the hip area. You also don't want to wear jeans that have pockets with flaps on the bum, as they will add to your profile.
- Wear patterned or light-colored pants or bottoms, or jeans that are extremely faded in the thighs and rear.
- Wear pencil skirts - it draws the eye away from the problem area.
