PEAR OR TRIANGLE SHAPE BODY TYPE

This body type is usually characterized with a well defined waist, sloping shoulders(they may even have killer abs), the hips tend to be wider than the bust and they have prominent thighs.

Style Goals

The major style goal here is to accentuate the waist and also add volume to the upper body. This can be achieved through the following:
- on the upper body, fabrics with thick horizontal stripes works because it creates an illusion of a broader shoulder and draws attention to the upper body.
- To create an illusion of a slimmer silhouette and to take attention away from the lower body, opt for fabrics with vertical and narrow stripes.
- Fit and flare dresses are one of the flattering dress silhouette for this body type
- off shoulders and strapless dresses and tops work well. This is because strapless bodice clothes balances out your wider bottom and off shoulders creates an illusion of a broader shoulder.
- Go for tops or dresses with cowl necklines, boat necklines, wide V and U necklines
- Opt for darker colors to avoid attention being drawn to your lower body

DON'T

- Steer clear of skinny pants that taper at the bottom as this would highlight your wider hips.
- Avoid embellished bottoms that emphasize your wide hips
- Avoid details like pockets on the hip and thighs as this draws attention to the hip area.
- Except your goal us to draw attention to your hip area, avoid low waist skinny Jean
