How to dress a pear shape body for the best results

With so many style tips out there aimed at the pear shaped body I think it's important to know that whatever type you think you are, you are still unique, unlike any other pear shapes out there. 

Our upper body, legs, shoulders, and face have a series of lines and shapes that make any of the body shapes unique and thus completely useless. 

Why is everyone trying to make us hide things? 

If you want to learn more about what makes your body shape unique and how to properly dress it, I would suggest taking the Body Harmony Class.

Most of the advice I've seen online that addresses dressing the pear body type talks mostly about hiding things and it is tinged with a lot of body shaming. 

What I aim for with pear shaped bodies is an overall harmony between your natural features and the style of clothes you can wear to feel beautiful.

10 outfits for pear body type to go for

It's very important to pinpoint the overall fashion style of the capsule before you start looking for clothes. 

Today I think I want to create something feminine, and flirty but still easy and comfortable to wear. In other words, the style will be a romantic one with casual elements.

Next, I need to decide how many outfits I need to create and how many items I’ll have to find. 

For this, as always, I’ll go back to my Wonder Wardrobe Planner to choose the structure for this particular capsule. 

Just to show you how this works, I’ll make ten interchangeable outfits using five tops and three bottoms. Let’s also add one dress, one outerwear piece, and two pairs of shoes that will go well with everything else.

What colors to go for

Now I will play a little bit with colors to create a color palette for this capsule.  The wonder wardrobe planner includes a special template for this too and this is how it looks like. 

The first row is for accent colors. They are used to draw attention to some element of the outfit or to add some extra contrast. 

The second row is for the main colors of the capsule. These are colors that you wear most often because they are usually selected for your statement pieces.

The last row is for neutral colors. Neutral colors give balance and harmony to any outfit and also easily match any other colors.

I strongly advise you to first discover your color type and adapt your colors accordingly. By copying this palette you might end up wearing colors that make you look tired and washed out. 

Pick your colors.

I usually start looking for the main colors first, then move on to the neutrals, and if I see I need to add some contrast and spice I mix in some accents. 

Here are the colors that I would like to use for this capsule. The main colors are cream, medium blue, and warm Bordeaux. 

For neutrals, I chose white, light brown, navy, and black. And for the accent, I thought I would use some gold color, maybe for accessories, we’ll see. 

The two main rules when you create your color palette are: firstly, all colors should be either warm or cold, and secondly, is that they all have to match perfectly and look harmonious together. 

When you find the colors you would like to see in your future capsule you should put them together and play with them a little bit to see how they look next to each other

Visualise your color palette.

I am pretty happy with my color palette. I know it will help me a lot when I start looking for clothes. 

Because I can search almost every online shop by selecting some particular colours. And that’s exactly what I will do now.

Knowing your colors will help you save time when searching for clothing options.

What bottoms I've gone for the pear shaped body type.

As you can see the jeans and pants have a straight cut, and the skirt and the dress are flared. It helps that they have a defined waist.

What tops I've gone for.

The tops are quite different, some of them have a straight cut,  some are slightly slim, and there is an oversized sweater in here as well. 

But with the help of color, prints, and other elements we will visually widen the shoulders and bring more attention to the upper body. 

And when you put these tops together with the bottoms they will visually make the difference between shoulders and hips less obvious, which helps the pear body type achieve more stylistic harmony.

This capsule also matches the color palette I made earlier. And remember I told you that I would like to add some gold accessories? 

So, I found a cute gold pajama-style shirt, and I thought that was even better. I just love this outfit, it’s so funky, I would wear it.

This capsule wardrobe doesn’t look too girly which is usually expected from a romantic style, but it’s still elegant, feminine, and modern. 

There are fancy outfits, and there are more basic ones. I think it's a very versatile wardrobe, where you can find an outfit for any occasion.

That’s it. I hope you found this video and blog post helpful.
