The main traits of your Pear shaped body are:

• Wider hips and thighs
• Narrower shoulders
• Wider bottom
• Smaller bust

A-line skirts, wraps and dresses are the best for Pears because they skim through those lovely curves without making them look baggy and unshapely.

Pants and skirts that are flat-fronted or softly pleated will emphasise your smaller waist areas.

Avoid short, tight skirts as they emphasise those problematic areas along the hips and thighs.

Avoid clingy materials like Lycra because these will define those extra bumps along the hips and thighs we’d like to hide.

Finally, remember that heels not only make you feel and look taller, they also add a few inches to your legs while making your hips and bottoms look smaller.
