Small waist, Large thighs - Pear Shape




I get asked this question a lot. How do I dress for a small waist but my thighs are heavy. My first thought at this point is that one must always emphasize ones assets. In this case - a small waist. Chances are you have either an hour glass figure or you are pear shaped and you are in perfect company.

Jeans - Perfect for pear shapes are hipsters- Yes, we all "hate" them, but they are actually perfect for a few body types.Any pair of jeans with a low-cut waistband will make your bottom look smaller. Make sure the jeans are boot-cut, as these styles will balance out heavier hips and thighs. Jeans should be dark - steer away from light colours and paler 'washed look' jeans as these will do you no favours. Finally don't be tempted by denims containing stretchy materials such as Lycra as although these may seem more comfortable they will accentuate your problem areas below the waist by clinging to hips and thighs. Follow these guidelines and we think you will find your 'pear-fect' pair of jeans!
Suits - Fitted suits work amazingly well withthis body type. Skirts - that start to flare gently away from the body work wonders as well. The fabric should be soft jersey. Dress- should hug ever so gently at the waist e.g Shirt dresses
Jackets are actually perfect for this body type as well.
