What to Wear: When You're Pear Shaped

The best way to flatter a pear-shaped figure is to draw attention to your slender top half with color, prints, volume, or texture, while keeping things below the belt as simple as possible. Pear-shaped ladies look best in pencil skirts, tailored a-line skirts, and boot-cut jeans and pants. And don't hide your curves behind a long jacket - something that hits right at your tiny waist will be very becoming! Finally, some pear-shaped women have a hard time finding dresses that fit, because their top is a smaller size than their bottom. My advice is to buy dresses that fit your bottom half, and find a good tailor to take in the top.

Here's a figure-flattering look for the pear-shaped ladies.
