Pear shaped

What kind of clothes would be most flattering for a pear-shaped figure? Also what kinda dress? ;;DD

Wear fitted tops and tops with a lot of detailing, tops in all sorts of prints with lighter and brighter colors, or textured fabrics. This will help balance your lower half.

Puffy sleeves and tops that hug the shoulders or ones with wide-set straps will help to visually widen the chest and shoulders.

Look for necklines that are scooped, draped, v'd, rounded or squared. Any neckline that has a lower and wider neckline will look great. These will emphasize your bust and draw attention to your face. Also look for an under-wire or molded bras to help with balance. A halter top that ties at the neck will give the shoulders the appearance of width they need, and this will help balance out your hips and thighs.

A-line and flared skirts look best on pears. You want to look for jeans or pants that are flared or have a wide-leg, this will help hide your thicker thighs. Go for low-rise dark jeans (the darker the better) and dark pants. This gives the illusion of a slimmer hips and bottom.

When choosing a dress, choose ones with an empire waist or a wrap dress which will flow over the hip area. Sleek shoes with a thinner heel will work better visually rather than clunky footwear.

Stay away from body-hugging tight skirts. This will only show every bump and curve. You also want to keep away from full skirts or ones with large pockets. Pockets will only add dimension to your already fuller hips. Avoid dresses that have a bias cut that hugs the bottom. Bold patterns, large checks, and light colors are not recommended for below the waist.

Stay away from tight jeans with too much detail on the hips or bottom, such as flaps or embroidery on back pockets. This will only draw the eyes right to your problem area. Stay away from pants with bulky side pockets.

Stay away from tapered jeans or pants, this is something you never ever want to wear. The narrow and tapered legs will only make your hips appear huge.

Stay away from high-waisted pants as these tend to make your bottom look larger.

Stay away from jackets that finish at the widest part of your hips.

Stay away form flashy belts that draw attention to your hips and thighs.
