FAQ About Dressing For Your Body Type
What should I wear if I have a pear-shaped body?
If you have a pear-shaped body, you may carry weight in your hips, thighs, and buttocks, with a narrower upper body. Here are some tips on what to wear to flatter your body type:
Emphasize your upper body: Choose tops that draw attention to your upper body, such as boat necks, off-the-shoulder tops, or tops with detailing or embellishments on the shoulders or bust.
Choose A-line or flared bottoms: A-line skirts and dresses, or pants that flare out slightly at the bottom, can help balance out your hips and create a more proportional silhouette.
Show off your waist: Look for clothing that cinches in at the waist, such as high-waisted pants, skirts, or dresses, or tops that are fitted at the waist and then flare out slightly.
Stick to darker colors on your lower half: Darker colors can help create a slimming effect on your lower half.
Avoid clingy fabrics: Avoid clingy fabrics that can emphasize your curves. Instead, choose fabrics that skim over your curves and create a flattering, flowing silhouette.
Experiment with accessories: Accessories can draw attention to your upper body and balance out your proportions. Try wearing statement necklaces or earrings to draw the eye up.
Remember, the most important thing is to wear clothes that make you feel confident and comfortable, so don't be afraid to experiment with different styles and silhouettes to find what works best for you.
