Pear Shaped Or Bootylicious? - Dressing For Your Body Type

Some would call you pear shaped, bottom heavy or a triangle! I would call you bottylicious!!! Now here is what you need to know to dress those curves and celebrate your body!

Best features. Great legs, a fantastic waist and feminine hips!

TIP #1 DO NOT BE TEMPTED! 

We are taught to make the most of our “good bits!” however wearing fitted tops to make the most of your slim upper frame, will actually make your lower half look bigger. Finding a visual balance for your body is the best thing to do here.

Tip #2 TOPS

So here is the secret, When buying tops, think about using layers, which will create a fuller illusion on top creating some balance. A cardigan or a simple throw over is going to be your go to piece. For cooler weather, try cropped jackets that stop at the waist.  You should also be trying to wear a three-quarter sleeve, wide scoop necks, and one-shoulder tops. They will look fabulous! Trust me!  

Tip #3 BOTTOMS

Ok, so, your trick is a boot-cut pant, or a slight flare towards the end of the leg. This is especially good if you wear them with a heel to give your legs a little length. Jeans are tricky for anyone regardless of shape or size but try to go for dark, medium-rise jeans with simple stitching and pockets in the back. For skirts and dresses, try a classic A-line cut that falls softly over your curves and highlights your fabulous waist. Move away from pleated skirts and high waists; they are made to create your figure on other less curvy body types!       

Tip #4 BE BRAVE

Draw peoples eye and attention with bright colors and bold prints, embellishment and details on your upper body. Do not be afraid to wear a horizontal stripe (ON TOPS) Use large statement pieces of jewellery to draw the eye upwards, and experiment with pattern and print on the bottom but stick to darker colors.

TIP #5 WEAR YOUR CONFIDENCE

The sexiest, most flattering thing you can wear as a women is your confidence. Walk out your door every morning channeling your inner Beyonce! You will be noticed for all the right reasons.
