Every body shape has its own characteristics and silhouette, which needs to be addressed when choosing your clothes. The aim of choosing the right clothes is to balance your silhouette. You may not be able to follow all the fashion trends that are out there, but nowadays there are so many trends in fashion that there is something available for every body shape. So, don't get sidetracked by falling in love with a style and look that doesn't match your body shape:
NECKLINE FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Wider collar and lapels, in general, you are quite flexible here if you don't have a big bust or a short/wide neck. Great necklines are boat and Bardot.
SLEEVES FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Cap, ¾ length, dropped, Batman, puffed, wrist or above wrist are great for you. If you are small to medium busted, puffed and short sleeves will work as well.
TOPS & SHIRTS FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Fitted shapes are a must e.g. wrap tops or empire lines; vests, waistcoats and stiff fabrics, a straight yoke, breast pockets, big collars are great; whether patterned or horizontally striped; all shoulder enhancing shapes e.g. shoulder pads, big shawls, bolero, wide straps, boat neck.
JACKETS FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Details, collars, pockets, single or double-breasted, shoulder pads are excellent, but only on fitted shapes. Hoods, breast pockets, back yokes and back belts in the waist area look great.
COATS FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Trench coats are fabulous; watch out for shoulder enhancing details, big lapels, wide collars, double-breasted styles (great with empire shaped coats); fuss on top but simple from the waist down; choose fitted shapes e.g. belted coats.
DRESSES FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Choose empire or wrap dresses; separates work better.
SKIRTS FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Straight tapered knee length or between the knee and mid calf; bias or skirts with flip are most flattering.
TROUSERS FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Plain, flat-fronted, bootleg or flared (for long legs), full leg line or ankle length are best, simple style e.g. no belt loops, creases, pleats, pockets, pattern, turn ups.
JEANS FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Dark bootcut denim is best.
SHOES FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Wear shoes with a medium to chunky heel; platforms or wedges are great; opt for long simple single coloured knee boots (neutral colours); a square, or pointed toe works well.
BAGS FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Clutch bags, shoulder bags that sit on your waist; choose chunky, fussy styles or looks with many details attached.
SWIMWEAR & BEACHWEAR FOR PEAR BODY SHAPE
Keep detailing above the waist. Be aware of high-cut styles that finish at your widest point. Separates work well, but keep the bottom simple and in one colour.
