Get the Look!

Dressing for your shape goes beyond knowing what works on top and bottom. It’s about putting all the separates together with figure-flattering success! For starters, lighter neutral tones on top and darker tones on the bottom are key for pears to creating proportion and a harmonious silhouette. Metallic grey is a current fashion favourite and the longer length cardigan covers up the rear view, while the wide-leg black pant not disguises any lumps and bumps. Tip: this look can work well with or without the belt.

Outerwear

A black leather jacket is a wardrobe-essential for every woman – especially this season! Perfect for pears, this particular leather jacket proves that a fit that follows the naturally slim proportions of your upper body can be a good thing. It has enough of a shoulder to create symmetry with your hips and is slightly cropped so it hits above the hip – not across it.
