Bumpy hips, full thighs and full buttocks are the characteristics of a pear-type woman. Many women with this body type have small chests, broad shoulders and small waists. Make yourself look more proportional by diverting attention from your lower body and highlighting your upper body. You will look even more attractive with some of the tricks below!
Step
Part 1 of 3: Drawing Attention to the Upper Body
Step 1. Choose a top with a color and pattern that stands out
Women with a pear-type body should distract people from the hips and thighs and accentuate the torso. Wear tops with flashy colors and big patterns. This draws people's attention to your upper body, making your shoulders and chest look bigger and wider than they really are.
Step 2. Find a collar that fits perfectly
Some collar shapes look better on pear-type bodies because they broaden the shoulders and accentuate the bust. Wide collars such as boat-necks and scoop-necks will visually widen your shoulders. The shape of the collar of clothes that accentuates the chest like a sweetheart neck will draw people's attention to the chest and make it look fuller. Sleeveless tops and dresses can also make shoulders wider and chest fuller but may not feel comfortable for women with a pear-type body.
Step 3. Pay attention to the size of the clothes
Deciding between tight and loose clothing can be a difficult thing to do as each has its pros and cons. Look for tops that are tight at the hips and accentuate your curves. If you want to wear a loose top, you should look for one that is slightly longer so that it can cover your hips and widen your shoulders. In general, choose a shirt that can accentuate the waist and shoulders and this can be achieved with the right combination of looseness and tightness.
Step 4. Put on several layers of clothing
If you wear several layers of tops, your torso becomes fuller and makes the whole body more proportional. Wear tank tops, blouses and cardigans to give the illusion of a fuller upper body. If you are wearing several layers of top so that it covers your waist, wear a small belt to restore your curves.
Step 5. Wear a top with embellishments
Shirts with embellishments near the neck make the shoulders wider and the neckline wider. Buy shirts with beads, ribbons, or collars near your neck. These ornaments can be large or small because they can draw people's eyes up and away from the lower body. You can also wear a scarf for a similar effect.
Step 6. Look for a top with wide sleeves
While it's not easy to find shirts with wide sleeves, try to focus on looking for shirts with bell sleeves or kimonos. Wide arms add volume to your arms and as a result your hips and buttocks look more balanced and proportioned. Otherwise, try wearing shirts that have ruffled sleeves or those that are rolled up as they can add volume to your sleeves too without looking overwhelming.
Step 7. Choose a shirt of the right length
Look for a top that camouflages the hips; a top that falls slightly below your hipbones to lengthen your torso and cover the widest part of your hips. Avoid seams that fall all the way to your thighs as this can make the widest part of your legs appear wider. You should avoid crop tops as they can draw attention to your midsection that is too close to your hips.
Step 8. Wear proper underwear
Your upper body can undergo a massive transformation when you wear the right underwear. Wear a padded bra or push-up bra. This will add volume to a small bust and accentuate the waistline of your curves. Look for neutral underwear that can be used under casual or formal attire.
Part 2 of 3: Slimming Hips
Step 1. Choose a dark color
Visually, dark colors give a slimming and unobtrusive effect; eyes tend to pay attention to dark colors. Denim can also be worn but wear denim in dark colors and stay away from medium or light colors. Choose pants and skirts in black, gray, navy, brown, and olive green. Besides being able to make you slimmer, these colors can match any top in your wardrobe.
Step 2. Choose the right fit
As with tops, you want to give a proportional effect on your legs and the rest of your body. Choose pants with a straight cut or flared at the ends to create a fuller bottom of the leg. Pants that are very tight will accentuate your hips/butt, while pants and jeans that are the same or slightly wider at the calves and ankles will distract from your midsection. Avoid pants with a straight cut because they will look very bad on a pear-type body.
Step 3. Choose some skirts that look beautiful on your body
Skirts that fall to the knees or ankles are the perfect choice for a pear woman. Skirts like this draw people's eyes down to the bottom of your feet, instead of short skirts that keep your eyes on the widest part of your body. Look for a skirt that starts above your hips close to your waist and is at least slightly above the knee. Avoid tight skirts and look for skirts with ruffles or beading at the bottom hem to draw attention to it without expanding your hips. Putting this decoration on the knee or lower part of it can make your hips proportional.
Step 4. Avoid embellishments on the hips or buttocks
While jeans with beaded or embroidered pockets may look cute, they can draw attention to the least attractive areas of your body. Avoid frenetic pants and belts and pants with buttonholes, gemstones, twinkling embellishments, or frenetic embroidery near your hips or buttocks.
Step 5. Try on some dresses
Dresses can be a great way to achieve two goals at once: directing the viewer's gaze toward the torso, while creating a small waist and covering the midsection. Look for dresses in A-cuts or those with a tulip-shaped skirt and avoid dresses that are tight and fit at the hips. It would be even better if you wear a dress that is tight at the waist and covers your shoulders so that it looks more broad.
Part 3 of 3: Wearing the Right Accessories
Step 1. Choose some striking necklaces
A striking necklace in a light color that falls some distance from the neck draws attention to your upper body. This necklace makes your chest look fuller so that your body looks more proportional. You can wear a collar-style necklace that widens the neck and broadens the shoulders to accentuate your upper body.
Step 2. Put on a splashy pair of earrings
But don't wear more than one fancy piece of jewelry at the same time. Wearing flashy earrings is a great way to draw attention to your upper body, away from your hips. Choose long earrings or dangle earrings for maximum results.
Step 3. Put on a scarf
Scarves add volume and dimension to your upper body because people's attention is focused on your neck rather than your hips. Try wearing a scarf with a variety of ties to find out which style looks best on you. Scarves worn in a circular fashion are great for pear-shaped women because the ends of the scarf don't hang down so people don't look down.
Step 4. Wear the right shoes
Believe it or not, shoes can change the whole appearance of your body. Look for shoes with a more pointed toe as they can lengthen your legs and make your hips more proportioned. High heels are a great choice to increase height and make the leg muscles look firmer and more beautiful. If you're up for the challenge, wear brightly colored shoes because they have the same effect as wearing a large necklace: they make the viewer's gaze move away from the less beautiful part of your body and focus on a smaller area.
