Fashion Advice For Pear Clothing And The BBW

If you are a BBW (big beautiful woman) whose body is pear-shaped, chances are good you have had some difficulties locating pear clothing that fits you nicely and looks great. It may seem to you that clothing manufacturers do not take the pear shaped body into consideration when designing their goods, and you may very well be correct in that assumption. There are a few things you should keep in mind when buying clothes.

The goal for the pear shaped body is balance. Your aim should be to achieve good balance in your overall figure. To do this, choose A-line skirts and dresses. The skirt should follow the contours of your shape to keep it from looking frumpy and baggy. In jeans, boot-cut is your best bet. The boot-cut jeans have more room below the thigh area, which makes your hips appear slimmer.

When purchasing jackets and tops, remember that the hips do not lie! Blouses and jackets should end at the hip bone with a pear shaped figure. This divides your body into two halves, making the lower half looking smaller. Avoid buying jackets that are long and do not offer that visual break because they will make your bottom look larger than what it is. Never go for those short, cropped tops because they do the same thing. Balance is what you are after and the hip length tops create it perfectly.

There are certain types of clothing that you should avoid altogether with a pear shaped figure. Do not wear loud prints or light colors on the bottom. Avoid wearing pants that settle above the waist and be sure also not to wear pants that narrow gradually at the bottom. This draws attention to your hips and makes them appear wide. Never wear short skirts that are tight.

The best look for BBW pear shaped women are dark, denim boot-cut jeans with a tailored white shirt. This gives you a modern and chic look and it is an outfit that can be spiced up by adding color with your jewelry, scarves or handbag. Do not be afraid to accessorize as it draws the eyes upward and takes the attention off your flaws.

As you can see, just because you happen to have a pear shaped figure, does not mean that you cannot find the right clothing. You only need to know what type of pear clothing to look for and which to avoid.
