Best tip:
You need to use angular lines to minimize the impression of roundness and softness.
Look for:
  • Blouses and anything that is in the style of a corset;
  • Deep V – neck and round neck;
  • Clothes with a style that reminds of draperies, but not too broad, because you will look even bigger;
  • Straight leg trousers;
  • Pants with a high waist and pants that are a little stretch; these pants have a belt effect and will keep your stomach in place.
Avoid:
  • Long shirts, or anything that is too baggy and which lacks concrete form;
  • Details like pockets on shirts and complicated textures.
Your secret weapon:
You should wear an undershirt; it will create a smooth surface for all other clothing.
Pear-shaped figure (Narrower at the top, wider at the bottom)

Best tip:
Achieve balance by adding volume to the upper body – it will reduce the shape of the lower body
Look for:
  • Pants with darker colors that are made of stronger materials and have a very small percentage of stretchable material in order to obtain the desired effect of slenderness ;
  • Lower and wider belts (which help minimize the buttocks);
  • T-shirts that have a slight neck line and are reminiscent of a blouse;
  • Tunics (wear a belt below your natural waist, long jackets and shirts).

Avoid:
  • Bright denim that will accentuate your problem area;
  • Shirts that are too tight will point out the differences between the upper and lower body;
  • Details that attract attention, such as pockets on the hips and thighs.
Your secret weapon:
You need to remove the cloth from the inside of the pockets of pants and it will reduce their volume.
