How to Dress the Pear Shaped Body (10 Best & Worst Styles!)

[@PerpetualJoy]

As a tall pear, low rise jeans were truly the worst thing in my wardrobe growing up. They barely cover your pear-butt when you sit and shirts don't cover when you sit or move your arms around at all. Now that I'm older I only do mid-rise to high rise bottoms

[@AfroPrincessDiaries]

I had this problem with low rise jeans too as a pear shaped woman. High waist jeans are the best thing ever. They cover my butt completely and they look good with my figure.

[@griselpimentel5386]

Thank you so much for everything you do for us “Petite Women “. You’re the best.

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you too!

[@xcarriecatx]

You're the reason I tried a pair of high rise jeans, (I am 5'1") and I feel so confident! I'll be trying out more. Thank you.

[@PetiteDressing]

Glad you like it Carrie!

[@airbender7025]

Wide leg is tricky though. It can make you shapeless dan frumpy if you're petite.

[@sofac8252]

Jlo styles wide leg jeans while she is petite and looks good but yeah you are right wide leg jeans don’t suit pear shaped women they make them look very bottom heavy

[@hannahmarie3161]

I agree! I’m a pear shape and I’ve never felt comfortable in short shorts, mini dresses or skirts - I’ve always felt like they’re unflattering. Thanks for the video!

[@yifatjovani333]

I have a body pear shape and it's true, wearing high waist Jeans looks so good on me. I love your tips on this video. Thank you!

[@ravellicia]

The only two things I would disagree on are mini-skirts and bodycon clothes. I really love to wear mini-skirts because they cover up the widest part of my thighs and show off the rest of my legs and bodycon dresses look amazing on any body type to me! (I have to say that I'm a pear shape but I'm rather tall though.)

[@UsiUsiUsi]

I stopped following those rules few years ago and it totally changed my life. I‘m average height and anything that makes my legs look longer without hurting them (aka higher heels) is welcome. CIS male does love the accentuated rear hip ratio. I even started bikinis again despite not being skinny. Even when we have a bit stomach it isn’t really noticeable since the torso so long. So wear what you like and in what you feel comfortable. Something ALL those well meaning people are forgetting, is giving you confidence. Telling you what you do wrong even though you don’t agreeing with it, doesn’t work anyway.

[@avaniwanjari9368]

I agree

[@sofac8252]

They look good on you because you are tall

[@pjmacinnes831]

These are all great styles! However, I find that wide leg pants look horrific on thick thighs. It gives that "elephant leg" effect I dread. Straight leg is way better. Thanks for including it!

[@Meets-ml7oh]

I used to think I have an hour glass figure, but after gaining a lot of weight I realized that I'm pear-shaped.

[@froufou100]

Me too

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I’m not a pear shape, but tapered-leg pants can give anyone the shape of an ice-cream cone. Love your styling tips as always.

[@PetiteDressing]

Happy to help. 😊

[@valentynabelofsky9374]

I don't agree with some things said in this video... I find shorter dresses to be much more flattering on me because they just look harmonious with the short and petite silhouette and therefore don't look overwhelming Long dresses just overwhelm my figure

[@narutogoldylocks]

I’m a thin pear but…. Wide leg pants look awful on me. Lol. I’m not super petite, but I’m 5’4”. Wide legs pants drown me & do nothing for me whatsoever. I also hate flares. I wear skinny or straight legged pants for sure.

[@CristinaPerez-ib2uu]

I'm not pear shaped but I watched this video because I just enjoy the way you deliver your message. I love your wit and all your advise on real clothing for real women.

[@PetiteDressing]

I appreciate that, Cristina.

[@_clarisse_manishimwe]

I cannot stand low-rise anything!

[@courtneycaitlin8943]

I was trying to read the comments and thought I was having a KZbin error since none were showing up, but then I just realized I got here REALLY early!! 😂 Thanks from a pear shape who always clicks on your videos! 🥰

[@PetiteDressing]

No worries Courtney!

[@rebekkaalex3365]

For wide leg pants, can u suggest exactly which fabric

[@nycelgeraga]

Came across this very helpful and straightforward video. Many thanks! I am short asian mom, with wide hips (curve, pear-shaped body)...

[@nameme7702]

Bootcut are so much better than wide leg pants

[@hasaheadachenow]

No one looks great in low rise. Low rise pants are evil! I’m over all the panty shots and butt cracks I’ve seen….omg!

[@checkermaker480]

Oh God no Chi. All of your rules are for pears with longer torsos! I am a petite pear (can look hourglass but my hips are a tad larger), i have longer legs and short torso! Wide leg jeans look absolutely HORENDOUS on me, skinnies and straight are the only jeans that work for me

[@bobbieschendel3144]

Same here!! I also like bootcut jeans

[@airbender7025]

Mid rise it is.

[@universaltruth2025]

Yes I agree, I have always hated full-length tapered leg dress pants on me.

[@kiraunos2269]

I’m a slim pear, this really helped thanks!

[@PetiteDressing]

You're very welcome! ❤️

[@Theresebonath6077]

Can i just say this. Some of us women cant wear high waisted pants or skirts because it hurts. I have Endometriosis so i can not wear highwaist because they push more against my belly and also if you have ibs both of these two.decises makes you swollen and then highwaist not only hurts but it adds so much weight on you.because you will look pregnant. So what to do with this reality ? I truly would like to know i always struggle with this so i.dont buy clothes anymore 😔

[@denisedorsey2889]

Mid rise might be the solution for you.

[@PersianPowergirl]

Yes. Mid rise in everything is better. High waist may look good but yes does puff out the belly a little extra. Mid rise doesn't do that.

[@LALUNA-nz8xq]

Hi, Chi! I am 5’1” and my body used to be pear-shaped. After kids, I don’t know if it still is a pear or has become more of a rectangle because my underbust and waistline have expanded, and hip dips just appeared. Though I’m still bottom-heavy, (with a lower belly pooch and thick thighs) my hips don’t curve smoothly down the sides due to the hip dips; I looked more “square” in that area. It also doesn’t help that I’m short-waisted and with a high rise. I want to wear high-rise bottoms to avoid the dreaded muffin top, but it just drowns most of my torso. Mid-rise bottoms give me the muffin top. Tucking my tops into high-waisted bottoms cuts me very short from the waist up. These just frustrates me as I’d usually have a hard time putting clothing pieces together to balance out my difficult proportions.

[@airbender7025]

I know. The only solution is exercising to re shape the body and lose some weight. Try chloe ting channel, pick the no jumping first (easiest). Things will get better gradually. Trust me.

[@susannemaier1080]

Thank you so much! Please more examples for pear shape body fashion!

[@PetiteDressing]

You're welcome Susanne, glad to help.

[@rmdimples753]

Hello chi Just wanna say LOVE YOU❤️

[@lisaarney9958]

I just subscribed to your channel and I’ve watched a lot of your older videos (2-3 years older). I just wanted to say that your videos have really improved over time. More examples (especially when you’re the model), better backgrounds and faster pace. Keep it up!

[@PetiteDressing]

Hello, Lisa! I really put a lot of effort into this, thank you for noticing! ❤️

[@babycakes8434]

Great tips. We need video about more options for decoltes, and tops to balance out the bottom, please.

[@lauriemacey5804]

I agree with most of your tips but I can't wear off shoulder tops. I'm rather small busted and tiny shoulders even though I'm plus sized and anything off shoulder always makes it's way below my bust unless I constanntly adjust.

[@natsumiloreleivelez6187]

Im commenting to get some help- Im going to a wedding soon and im pear shaped, i may make my dress or buy it maybe, but i wanna know well what ideas can i get the dress should be pink- im supposing pastel pink and i love horizontal neckline but i also like wide long sleeves- and should it be right on the waist the line between one piece and other? and should it be like mermaid shaped r very wide and floaty help aaa

[@layceevierra8364]

I'm 5ft and skinny, 30 yo just realized I'm pear shaped😂😂 growing up I was told "you have birthing hips" by my grandparents. I'm not the having kids type so I guess I failed what my body is meant for? Lol!!! Anyway, I think I'm pear shaped bc I'm so thin but my ass doesn't fit into size 3 at 85lbs??? I've never had pants that fit me.

[@sable747]

Hi! Can you do a fashion tips on colors and what is appropriate for events. I've been told it is now okay to wear black to weddings and any dark color to a funeral. I would love to know your thoughts?

[@bobbieschendel3144]

I guess Im frustrated because Im petite, pear shaped and short waisted

[@cymonescurio]

What if the pants are tapered but high-waisted? Don’t the extra length on top make up for the cut off length at the bottom?

[@deborahwallace1847]

I used a shape calculator. It shows I'm a pear, but other sights say I'm a rectangle. 42-37-44. Any help is appreciated!

[@Queen_Street_Sterling]

I would LOVE to find a great pair of straight leg jeans, but I find they all cling to my upper thighs (5'2"; 130 lbs). Not tight around the thighs, just clingy enough that I frequently need to adjust them downward so the crotch doesn't bunch up. Can you (or anyone else reading) recommend a few brands to try? Also, that red off-the-shoulder dress looks amazing on you!

[@Over55Life]

Chi! Thank you. I'm a thin pear. Thank you soooooo much.

[@PetiteDressing]

You are so welcome!

[@sapphirecamui6447]

I like what my legs look like below the knees XDD with a skirt that falls below my knees, i look slimmer. For the longest time i thought i was an hourglass.... Well, things changed when my bum became bigger because i gained a bit of weight, ooops

[@QuemAum]

always feel like pear shaped "flattering clothes" is matronly.... I never feel like it look good on me, makes me feel old. even though I am a pear I often steer clear of most pear appropriate clothing.

[@BaddieBB_x]

I’ve always thought the wide legs would not flatter me but ima try it out! This was so helpful, wish I would’ve found this years ago, would’ve saved me so much money in trial and error clothes shopping

[@PetiteDressing]

Hello, Clara! I'm so glad this video helped you ❤️ Thank you for watching! 💕

[@naongakalumbi8670]

What's your shape?

[@kellyjeffery2597]

i love your advice. wide legs overwhelm me so will watch your other video thank you

[@waldensiansylph4869]

Petite pear, thin, and long looking legs compared to my waist.

[@Funtoosh5395]

If you have belly fat then u can wear crop top or in your top....then please suggest what to wear

[@lesheawhite1870]

I love those white pants you have on from the website. I think I'm a skinny pair

[@dale3404]

I live in Florida, and everyone seems to be wearing capris. I hate them on most people and won’t wear them myself. They shorten your legs. I am short-waisted, with my ribs at my waist, so not a small waist. Lower waisted pants suit me better because the waistband doesn’t ride up into my bust.

[@bizzybee438]

But the space is too long so high rise does not meet my smaller part of my body!

[@Mahy4]

Hi love, I’m pear but with broad shoulders? What’s my body type?

[@palesasefurutshe6832]

I think hourglass i have Broader shoulders too

[@yvonnemakori9869]

Am also confused I have kinda wide hips ,wide shoulders and a very small chest

[@2brunhilda]

I need this

[@gladysmbabazi6836]

March this year, I started an investment with Expert Gregg, I invested £5000 which I went into him short-time trading and he helped me clear my Bank dept over £32,700.

[@kimberlyzickefoose3441]

He Expert Gregg is legit and I still trade with him, since I am going to retire in my early 40s. having an expert broker like Expert Gregg Franklin managing my investments is heartwarming, Because I don't have to worry about a thing, I just sit down and earn profits every weekend 😊
