Pear figure: features of the type of appearance and recommendations for style
One of the most common types of shapes is the pear. The same "pear" with wide hips and small breasts, which for some reason is not loved by its owners and is so attractive and feminine in the eyes of men. How to dress women of this type?
Type Description
The female figure "pear" in many people is immediately associated with a wider lower part than the top, which is generally true. This type is also called A-silhouette or "triangle."
Wide hips (significantly wider than shoulders) in women of this type are combined with neat breasts, narrow shoulders and graceful hands, a delicate thin neck. The legs are usually somewhat massive, athletic type, sometimes a little short.
The owners of the pear figure usually boast a refined, even aristocratically elegant upper body. The difference between the hips and the waist is very significant - about 25-30 cm. The thin "pear" boasts a completely flat stomach, aspen waist and fairly pronounced buttocks. Excess weight, of course, somewhat spoils the impression, making the figure more voluminous and vague.
In addition to the delicate and long neck, "pears" have thin, beautiful hands. And even with a slight discrepancy between the width of the wrists and more massive brushes, this drawback can easily be leveled with accessories. The main pride of “pears” is, of course, the waist. It can be slightly more elongated or short, but invariably thin, which is additionally emphasized by the hips.
Famous representatives
Many women with this type of figure consider themselves unattractive.Which is completely in vain. Domestic and western show business is literally full of "pears". And no one dares to accuse celebrities of non-sexuality.
The most striking example of a star with this type of figure is the actress and singer Jennifer Lopez, who has long made her wide hips, combined with a thin waist, a business card.
Among the famous "pears" - Christina Aguilera, Shakira, Biense, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts. All of them only choose the right outfits to look seductive and easy. It is enough to study their images in more detail in order to adopt ideas close to you in spirit.
Emphasize strengths and hide weaknesses
The upper part of women of this type is distinguished by grace and aesthetics. It is on her that one should “bet”, choosing a wardrobe. At the same time, it is enough to mask the “bottom” and “stretch” the legs a little to get a noble and feminine image.
Women "pears" should not wear tight outfits, as well as tight clothes (t-shirts, sweaters) up to the middle of the thigh, otherwise visually they will fully justify the name of the type. The hips will appear even larger, and the legs will look massive and short.
Turtlenecks, open-fitting shirts or t-shirts can be worn, but it is better to combine them with jackets, cardigans. The length of the latter should fall above or below the middle of the thigh.
There is no need to strive to become invisible, choosing modest and simple blouses, on the contrary, the “top” of an outfit should always attract attention, be original, so that you want to look at it. Bright colors, an abundance of decorative elements, flounces and unusual neck lines - all this should become the weapon of women with this figure.
The emphasis should be on the waist, and hide the wide hips with flared clothing from the thigh, flowing fabrics. You can play in contrasts - choosing clothes for the upper lighter shades, for the bottom - dark.
Taboo for women "pears" should be the skirts, Tatyana, as well as pleated, patch pockets and pleats. Even a rather slender “pear” with a well-defined waist line, they will make a shapeless fatty. An emphasis on hips should be avoided - the same applies to trousers, coats. You cannot choose models with pockets in the hips.
You should also not buy clothes with horizontal stripes and other color accents in the hips.
The optimal fit of trousers and skirts is medium. Things with a high waist can be recommended very conditionally, mainly to young girls without excess weight.
If with the help of clothes it is possible to balance the upper and lower parts of the figure, then heeled shoes will help to visually stretch it (which is necessary for “pears”). Its shape must necessarily correspond to the shape of the legs.
For slender legs with thin ankles, you can select both wide enough heels, as well as stilettos, “glasses”. For women with full legs and massive ankles, the latter options are not suitable, shoes with classic cylindrical heels look much more spectacular on their legs. Not the best option for this type - shoes on a platform or wedge, on a flat thin sole.
If you choose trousers to match the shoes, this will make the legs longer. Open-toed shoes have a similar visual effect.
An important accessory such as a bag is also able to hide the flaws of the figure. And, contrary to popular belief, the "pears" do not fit the bulk bags that they carry in their hands. The entire volume falls on the hips in this case.
The perfect bag is a soft shape that should be worn above the hips. A small clutch bag, a strap bag, as well as a miniature backpack, are what you need.
Other accessories will help emphasize the natural femininity and softness of forms. Do not be afraid to choose bold designer jewelry, the main thing is that they have smooth bends, a rounded shape. It is better to choose a thin belt, wearing it strictly along the waistline.
Voluminous scarves and knitted scarfs, yokes, fur boas and cozy capes - all this can and should be worn by “pears”. It’s better not just to throw them over your shoulders, but to learn how to drape beautifully and emphasize the waist line with a belt tied directly over the tippet, for example. So you create a feminine volume, draw attention to the upper part of the figure, but do not turn into a shapeless spot.
Fabrics for clothes should be chosen soft, well draped - silk, lace, chiffon, knitted fabrics, three-dimensional knitwear, suede. Moreover, for the bottom should be selected simple in texture, but not rough matter.
Avoid a large print at the bottom, bright colors. Bright in terms of both color and design should be the top.
All these tips are aimed at visually hiding the lower body. However, you can do the opposite, because now the trend is to demonstrate a delicious bottom. The main rule is that you should not be overweight, flabby, sagging body parts.
It is enough to make friends with sports, then your buttocks will become as men like them - elastic and voluminous enough. Too massive thighs will suddenly perfectly complement the buttocks. This rule is followed by the hottest beauties of Hollywood with a “pear” figure - the same Lopez, Shakira, Bjense.
We select a wardrobe
Femininity of the figure, graceful hands and a pronounced waist allow the "pears" to wear dresses and skirts that make them seductive and light. And even if you are used to wearing trousers and jeans, a couple of dresses are simply obliged to appear in your basic wardrobe - they are so to the face, or rather, to the “figure” of this type.
The big mistake is trying to hide the excessive volume of the hips with straight, baggy dresses. This not only does not reduce the hips, but also adds unnecessary volume to the “top”. Semi-fitted dresses of the right length are perfect for this type of figure. They should end in the part of the legs where their narrowing begins, the finer part.
Dresses with a flared skirt, as well as A-shaped silhouettes, expanding from the chest - also a decent image.
Outfits with a smell and asymmetry elements also distract from too massive hips. At the same time, it is important that the hips do not turn out to be overly fitted, and do not have a large number of layers, folds.
The top of the dress, on the contrary, can have a volume in the form of flounces and ruffles; the deep neckline and the boat neckline look beautiful and feminine. A thin waist can be emphasized with a strap.
Women with a pear figure should pay attention to skirts that have an extension in the middle of the thigh (this will mask the widest part of it) from light flowing fabrics. First of all, these, of course, are trapeze skirts and bells.
If such a style seems too boring and simple, take a closer look at the style of the tulip skirt. By itself, it is quite lush in the hips, so it will hide everything "superfluous". However, such an outfit narrows at the bottom, which makes certain demands on the legs. They should not be full; it is better to wear such a skirt with high-heeled shoes. Having a high waist, such a style will shift the emphasis to this zone, which will add grace to the image.
Interesting and unusual, seductive look on the "pears" skirts with a smell. In this case, you should choose the line on which 2 halves of the outfit converge - it should not fall on the full part of the hips, but ideally should be at the level of the thinnest part of the top of the legs.
At first glance it seems that one-year skirts are not the most suitable option for this type. However, despite the fact that such a skirt fits the upper part, due to the expansion downward and a magnificent flounce, it is possible to level the excessive volume in the hips. A skirt-year with a difference in length (slightly shorter in front) is also a suitable style.
In the absence of excess weight, you can afford a classic pencil skirt with high waist.Thickness will also hide the fullness, a small print "goose foot" or "checkerboard".
Women with such a figure should be very responsible in choosing trousers. Taboo should be a model with a low and high rise, which is why the hips look even more massive. However, baggy models, as well as tapered down, should also be discarded.
Do not choose models with pockets - back, side.
Slender “pear” ladies can afford pallacos with a high waistline. By the way, they are also suitable enough tight-fitting trousers, jeans, but in this case you need to add volume to the lower part of the legs, ankles. You can tuck jeans into high boots or wear coarse shoes that dangle slightly in the ankles.
Almost all “pears” fit straight trousers, as well as flares from the hip or knee. The main thing at the same time is to avoid excessive fitting.
In the absence of excess weight, “pears” can afford shorts. The main thing is that they hide the problem area completely - the length of the shorts should be such that they end after the widest part of the hips. They should be straight or free cut on an elastic band or on a belt, a little picked up by folds.
When choosing a blouse, shirt, cardigan or jacket, you should be guided by the following principles:
- no baggage, clothes a size larger;
- optimal length is just below the middle of the thigh (or its widest part);
- the presence of decorative particles in the upper part is welcomed - buttons, brooches, original elements will become the accent of the image, distract from the problem area;
- open shoulders, lantern sleeves, boat cutouts, American armhole - all this allows you to balance the massive bottom, emphasizes the beautiful sloping shoulders;
- voluminous sleeves, frill, ruffles, unusual cutouts - all this also allows you to put the right accents and hide from prying eyes problem areas of the figure.
As for outerwear, the rule also applies here - no shapeless “bags”. Wear jackets and jackets that are either longer or significantly lower than the middle of the thigh. An autumn wardrobe may consist of coats and jackets. Coat should choose a fitted or A-silhouette. Jackets in the Chanel style, jackets with an original cut of the lock, jackets with a clear line of shoulders - all this should appear for a fashionista with this type of figure.
It is better to choose a fur coat with an A-shaped silhouette fitted with a voluminous collar or hood. The fur is preferably long or, conversely, sheared.
Do not be afraid of too bright and catchy accessories - large locks, rivets, epaulettes - all of them not only add personality to the image, but also attract the eye to the top, distracting the figure from the bottom.
Useful tips for all ages.
All of these recommendations are suitable for pears of all ages. But they should be implemented nevertheless adjusted for age. So, for example, open shoulders and a huge magnificent flounce on girls 20-25 years old look harmonious and attractive. However, for women after 30 years, such an outfit can be vulgar. You should not refuse such a neck, just choose clothes with a more closed neckline and lace trim at the top, resembling a boat neckline in shape.
For ladies after 40 years old, you can choose top with an armhole-American or clothes with transparent and translucent voluminous sleeves as casual clothes. This will help visually expand the upper part, but will not be perceived as a desire to “be young”.
The same goes for bright colors. If young girls can choose bright red, pink, yellow tops, jackets and cardigans, then it is better for mature women to make these same colors more noble and muted - not a bright red jacket, but a dark cherry, shade of Marsala, not a canary yellow blouse and mustard or olive shade.
By the way, even a white or beige shade against a dark background looks bright and noticeable.And the combination of black and white in the presence of an interesting cut, a combination of textures and accessories does not look boring and “office”, but expensive and elegant.
Beautiful examples
These bows demonstrate how to visually stretch a figure with massive hips and fairly short, slightly full legs. To do this, it is enough to “lengthen” the waist by choosing outfits with a high waistline. Lengths just below the knee and high-heeled shoes also help.
An example of an ideal dress for this type is a flying skirt of the correct length and an interesting “top” with a boat neckline. The latter visually expands the line of the shoulders, focuses on graceful collarbones. Pay attention to the silhouette of the dress - it is fitted, and the waist line falls just above its natural line, which contributes to the "relief" of the image, stretching the silhouette.
Elongated and very long cardigans, light coats, jackets - all this, when worn wide open, literally “eats” extra centimeters in the hips. This bow uses an elongated jacket made of lightweight, dense fabric that holds its shape well. He frames, but does not fit the figure, hiding all that is superfluous.
If you additionally tuck the sleeves, they will attract eyes to the hands, the upper part.
An even more successful one is the image with an elongated sleeveless jacket. They hide excessively heavy legs, stretch (in combination with high-heeled shoes) a silhouette. Saturated blue color looks bright, but quite calm. The accent is a volume ball with a print, which, however, is within the palette chosen for the onion.
Stylish and effective bow from the star "pear". Flared trousers are combined with an elongated jacket and do not leave a trace of heavy hips. A turn-down collar and large buttons attract attention to the upper body, and the white color just will not leave such a woman without the enthusiastic looks of others.
A bow for every day is quite simple, convenient, but no less stylish. Flared trousers are combined with a blouse with loose sleeves, due to which volumetric hips are hidden, and the bottom is balanced with the top.
Black straight trousers in this image of Rihanna are combined with a wide coat. Pay attention - the coat sleeves are black, they fit tightly around the hands, which makes them almost invisible. There is a feeling that this is not a coat, but an interesting sleeveless jacket. Open sandals with wicker elements and a bright make-up allow you to make the office less strict.
In this image, wide hips are hidden by a bell skirt with a high waistline, and a laconic blouse with sleeves-lanterns takes on the extension of the shoulder line.
