Tops for Pear Shaped Women
To create that body balance you will need to take emphasis away from the hips and draw it to the top half of your body. You can do this very easily by choosing tops with the right style and shape and also choosing bold designs and colours.
Tops should be fitted and not baggy and should finish at the top of your hips to emphasize your well-defined waist. Avoid tops and short jackets that end at your bum because these draw the eye to your larger middle section and not suit your shape.
The main traits of your Pear shaped body are:
- Wider hips and thighs
- Narrower shoulders
- Wider bottom
- Smaller bust
The best or most flattering tops for the pear shape women should be of about three quarter length, this length will effectively cover your less than flattering areas which are going to be your hips, bottom and thighs.
It can be really fun to be creative with the tops you wear. You will find that it is difficult to go wrong when choosing tops with colour, detail and pattern that will draw the eyes upwards and the neckline is the perfect place for detail.
Blouses and tops with beautiful patterns and textures draw attention up to your upper body up to your beautiful face. Striped jumpers can visually add inches to your top half to balance broad hips too.
Choose wider necklines like bateau, squared or cowl necks to show off the neckline and shoulders.

Come on - I tried on that grey frilly silk blouse, and it looked SO wrong - I looked like a true hippo. The problem w the cut is, that it narrows in too much, if you have wide hips and therefore looking chunkier/heavie r, with such a flimsy but wonderful blouse. The style made me look well.... overdecorated somehow - the frills didn´t suit me for some reason - so when I dress my medium tall full pear shaped body, I must consider style as well. Tips. when trying on clothes take a photo w your mobilephone, to see if it suits you. Go home w the pictures and sleep on it, if you´re in doubt. If you love the look, you can bye it the next day.
Good luck w the curvie-shopping .
