Body Shapes: Pear Figure

Wondering what to wear to flatter your pear shaped body? Our fashion expert shows you the best fashion styles for your body shape

Style tips to flatter your pear body shape

- Dark coloured trousers are a must. Go for a wide leg style pair that are the same width all the way down and hang from the hips to slim you down perfectly.

- Avoid dress styles, like shifts, that cling to your figure. Instead, opt for full-skirted styles that flow neatly over your bigger lower half.

- Wear detail up top. Whether it's pattern or jewellery, make sure you wear it on the top half of your figure to draw the eye upwards. An on trend chunky necklace will do the trick.

- Tunics are life savers. Styles made from sheer fabric are best as they hint at your perfect top half while gently skimming your pear shaped hips.
