Body type guide

Dressing an Pear Shape

A pear shape carries width through the hip and thigh with a narrower shoulder line. The strategy inverts the inverted triangle: build presence above the waist so proportion resolves.

Silhouette principles

Add structure at the shoulder — a defined seam or light padding lifts the whole frame.
Keep the lower half clean and dark; let fabric skim rather than cling.
Draw the eye upward with colour, print, or a statement neckline.
Choose a rise that sits at the natural waist to lengthen the leg line.

Garments to reach for

Structured blazers and boat-neck tops
A-line and bias-cut skirts in fluid fabrics
Dark straight-leg or bootcut trousers
Statement collars, scarves, and earrings
Cropped jackets that end above the widest point

Cuts that fight the frame

Hip pockets, side detailing, and heavy hip-level hardware
Stiff pleats that project outward at the hip
Cropped tapered trousers that widen the thigh by contrast
Clingy jersey across the seat and thigh

Fragrance layering for this frame

Soft floral-musk accords with a powdery finish carry upward and outward, reinforcing the same lift the structured shoulder provides.
