the pear figure
All about you
You have narrow and slim shoulders and broader hips, with a defined waist. Just because you have a curvy bottom doesn’t mean you’re a pear.
Wear clothing that avoids finishing across your hips. Wear lighter and brighter colours with structure on your top half to create balance.
Do wear
- Cowl, boat, scoop, V and curved necklines
- Fitted tops & jackets with interesting collars and waist definition
- A small puff or gathered shoulder line on the top half
- Patterns on your top half
- Simple soft A-line skirts, that glide over your hips
- Trousers with flat front and no side pockets in wide leg, straight leg or small boot cut
Avoid
- Loose fitted tops and jackets
- Details around your hips
- Skinny or slim leg trousers
