PEAR-SHAPED

your hips are the widest part of your body so the trick is to balance and elongate your frame. Wide-leg trousers are perfect for pears as they skim over the thighs and, if worn with heels, have an extra leg-lengthening effect. Draw the eye away from problem areas with a hint of sparkle, and highlight your smaller waist with a belted jacket.
