Body shape #1 The pear.

The pear:

Also known as the "Triangle shape" the pear can be quite hard to define if you have then shape so if you're unsure just look to see if you have these:

• Carry weight on your thighs? hips?
• Have a small, defined clear waist?
• Wear a larger size on the bottom then the top half?
• Have narrower shoulders than hips?
  

If so, then you need to make sure you balance between your shoulders and hips. Jackets and tops that fit just above or below your widest area on your hips are your friend! You want to make sure you that show that small waist off, wear things like belts, empire lines, wraps etc. I found that the best type of tops you can go for are ones with the padded shoulders, puffed sleeves and boleros which obviously draw attention to them and make your hips appear smaller and balanced.


YOU SHOULD AVOID: 

• Narrowing leg, pleats or creases in your leg line, turn-ups in your trousers, wide or flared lg lies and pinstripe suits.
• Details, patterns, pockets on your thighs 
• Ruffled and flared sleeves.
• Pencil skirts or straight skirts.
• Bags that sit on your hips.
• Sloping or narrow shoulder lines.
• Dropped waistline or dropped panels.
• miniskirts or any hemline that finishes on a thicker pat of your body.
• Ankle straps, kitten heels, delicate footwear, uggs and round toe shoes.

So, Every bodyshape has it's own characteristics which needs to be kept in mind when selecting clothes. Don't fixate on a certain outfit if your body shape doesn't flatter it because I tell you know, you will be very disappointed!
Here are some basic tips to keep back there when doing a spot of shopping:

Neckline: If you don't have a big bust you can get away with wider collars and lapels.

Sleeve-length: Cap , 3/4 length, dropped, batman, puffed, wrist or above are the best choice for you.

Tops & shirts: FITTED! this is a must have in your wardrobe. Wrap tops, empire lines, vests, waistcoats, breast pockets, big collars, any pattern and all shoulder enhancing. So much choice it's great! 

Jackets: Lots of little detail, studs, collars, patterns, hoods, back yokes, back belts in the waist area and breast pockets all look amazing.

Coats: Trench coats. Cannot go wrong with trench coats, they fasten right at the waist making it enhance and flares out to give you a nice finish. Love it. Again you can go for collars, breast pockets and all that jazz!

Dresses: Definitely chose a empire or wrap dress. They make your body look amazing no matter how big or small your body is. Trust me!

Jeans: Dark bootcut denim. Enough said.

Shoes: Wear a pair with medium to chunky heels; platforms and wedgies are your best bet or go for a long simple colour knee boot with a square or pointed toe.

Bags: Clutch bags, shoulder bags that sit on your waist with a bright, chunky style to it. (with lots and lot of detail)

Swimwear: I say go for the high-waisted to extenuate your small waist. Go for something pretty plain at the bottom but the top go for wild detail to bring attention up to your boobies, ladies. 




Just remember, every bodyshape it amazing and beautiful in it's own way! :)
