Pear body type: body features
The Pear type is distinguished by the following parameters:
- » Height: most often average or below average.
- » Shoulders: not wide and/or sloping.
- » Chest: small to medium size.
- » Waist: clearly defined or weakly defined, but not wide. Typically a low waistline.
- » Hips: quite wide. Always clearly wider and more massive than the chest.
- » Legs: As a rule, they appear short relative to the body. which is due to the low waistline.
- » Overall impression: soft feminine lines. Clear preponderance of the lower body over the upper.
If a woman gains weight, then mainly her hips and legs become fat, but her waist, chest and face always remain thin. At the same time, extra pounds are deposited in the lower abdomen, which is clearly visible in profile. “Sciatic bags” may appear on the thighs. The legs become full along the entire length, including above the knees and in the calves.

Be proud of the pros, turn the cons into advantages
A woman with a pear body type has many more attractive features than those that need to be worked on. Let's go in order, from top to bottom.
The neck, as a rule, is quite long, and even if it is a little short, it is still endowed with an important feature - wrinkles rarely appear on it.
Thin, beautifully shaped hands give grace to the figure. Sometimes there is a disproportion between a narrow wrist and a large hand, which is easily masked by grooming and accessories.
The waist is the main source of female pride. Pears were very lucky with this. You can maintain the treasured volume of 60 cm or so from early youth to old age without much effort.
Now about the disadvantages. Fat deposits in the lower body and a tendency to form cellulite. This feature came from nature. We'll have to take it for granted and slowly fight. You will learn how to do this a little later.
But wide hips, massive buttocks and the notorious “ears” can be disguised with the help of clothing. So, it's time to reconsider your wardrobe and stop having complexes.
Wardrobe for a Pear figure
Suitable silhouettes in clothes
The main advantage of the Pear figure is a thin waist, which does not depend on the height and weight of its owner, so it is this that should be emphasized when correctly composing a wardrobe.
In addition, to achieve harmony, the emphasis must be transferred from full hips to the fragile upper part. When creating your image, you should stick to smooth curves and avoid straight lines.
Thus, the best silhouettes for women of the body type in question would be semi-fitted and fitted . Both of these silhouettes will emphasize the narrowest part of the figure - the waist.
A trapezoid silhouette with a moderate expansion towards the bottom is suitable for women of full build: the hips can be hidden, however, the advantages of the figure will also be hidden.
It is better to refuse a straight silhouette, because... it does not emphasize natural softness and femininity, and also makes the figure heavier.
- » What types of silhouettes are there in clothes?
Love your figure
If you already like yourself for who you are, emphasize your feminine figure. Accentuate the curves with various details. This is often done by stars who have a gorgeous butt and hips as a trademark. These tips also promote the visual effect of a leaner, more toned body.
1. Skirts and dresses with details around the edge (ruffles, draping, etc.) A pencil skirt will also highlight the Pear figure.
2. Light and bright colors (hot pink skirt, white denim pencil skirt, etc.)
3. Prints and textures (lace, floral print, large polka dots).

Suitable clothing lengths
The basis of the wardrobe of women with a Pear figure are most often knee-length skirts at the narrowest point. Unfortunately, only young girls can afford shorter skirts, and longer skirts will make the lower part of the figure even heavier.
The optimal length for shoulder items, such as blouses, tops and jackets, is from the beginning to the middle of the thigh. Bolero jackets that end under the bust, as well as empire-style blouses, will look good.
Straight trousers without decorative elements or visible stitching should become a wardrobe staple for women with a Pear figure. They should be worn with shoes with heels, the length should be selected to the middle of the heel.
When choosing outerwear, give preference to coats and fur coats just below the knee length if you plan to wear them with skirts and dresses. Consider the option of high winter boots, the top of which will be covered by the hem of your outerwear.
When paired with trousers, the length of outerwear should be one hand above the knee.

Dresses and skirts
PERFECT CLOTHING FOR PEAR BODY TYPE
Flared skirts (skater, sun, bell)
Selection of clothes for a pear body type almost always includes a couple of wide skirts or dresses with such skirts. These are comfortable and beautiful things for relaxation and everyday relaxed looks. You can choose a plain or printed miniskirt, a vintage-style below-the-knee skirt or a romantic maxi in an unusual fabric.
Trapezoid silhouette (A-line)
A-line dresses and skirts are a must-have item for a pear body type. They neatly frame the feminine silhouette, while hiding unevenness and folds on the body. You should pay attention to short A-line skirts that reach mid-thigh, as lengths below the knee make the bottom too heavy.
Another important point is the difficulty when choosing high-waisted skirt models. Manufacturers often forget about the existence of girls with wide hips, so a skirt with a suitable waist size may be short for you, and a skirt that is wide enough at the hips may not fit at the waist. Therefore, it is better not to buy such things without trying them on.
High waisted dresses
No matter what fashion experts say about high waists, pear-shaped women will always love them. Firstly, the constant problem of too wide a waist, which occurs with most other dresses, disappears. Secondly, the high waist emphasizes the chest, which is so annoyingly lost in other clothes. The only disadvantage of these dresses is that your natural contours are not visible. Shirt dresses
These clothes are great for pear body types. The shirt dress chastely covers the neckline and reveals slender legs. All that remains is to mark the waist with a belt or belt - and the stylish look is ready.
Kimono dresses
This option combines the advantages of a high-waist dress and a shirt dress. However, it is very important to choose the right thing in terms of proportions. Remember that a short, wide sleeve will make your wrists look thinner, and a low waist will add a few pounds. Capes and dresses with long sleeves, a deep V-neck and a side tie will look best.
Dresses with slits
All kinds of cutouts, décolletés and slits focus attention on the seductive curves of the body.
Fishtail dresses
A great option for evening wear for a triangle body type. This dress opens the shoulders and highlights the hips, but at the same time looks very elegant.
High Waist Pencil Skirt
A classic pencil skirt just below or just above the knee will look great in a business or discreet cocktail outfit. For everyday style and smart casual, more modern options are suitable: a knitted pencil skirt + high-waisted top, a pencil skirt with an obi belt + a loose blouse, a long denim or colored print skirt + a T-shirt.
Basque (peplum)
A peplum is a fabric decorative element in the form of a small short frill that encircles the product. The peplum fashion goes away and then comes back, but on women with voluminous hips and a narrow waist, such dresses and skirts always look flawless.
Wrap skirts and dresses
All kinds of asymmetry and decoration can look pretty good on rounded hips, but only if you have perfectly slender legs. Otherwise, the outfit will look at most cute and naive, but definitely not elegant. If you like wrap skirts but don't want to take the risk, opt for a midi length and a high heel for a look that suits just about everyone.
Say NO:
- pleated miniskirts,
- pleated skirts of any length,
- tutu skirts,
- dresses made of thick knitwear,
- low-waisted tunic dresses.
Be careful with:
- basic fitted dresses,
- straight dresses,
- T-shirt dresses,
- tulle midi skirts,
- skirts with wedges.

Suitable proportions in clothing
Since women with a Pear figure most often have a low waistline and short or average height, the proportions in clothing and its individual elements are designed to slightly raise the waistline and add a couple of centimeters to height. For these purposes, the ideal proportions would be the following:
- » top length to the waist line (to the beginning of the hip) + skirt of the same length (1:1). This proportion is recommended for women with normal and short stature. If you are short, it is recommended to select a set in one color.
- » top 1/3 + skirt/pants 2/3. A good option for women of medium and short height, especially with a normal and low waistline.
- » top 1/4 + skirt/ trousers/ dress 3/4. A cropped jacket with trousers creates the illusion of longer legs.

Wardrobe for Pear body type
The main task when choosing styles and models of clothing for Grusha is to achieve harmony between the top and the heavier bottom.

With fairly wide hips, the main principle of correction is to divert attention from the heavy lower part. Use dark shades for skirts and trousers, avoid decorations and decorations in this part, textured fabrics, patch pockets, etc.

Texture of fabrics, colors, prints
Feminine pears are suitable for clothes made from soft, well-draped, plastic fabrics:
- knitwear;
- viscose;
- fine cotton and linen;
- wool and cashmere;
- chiffon;
- lace;
- silks;
- crepe;
- suede.
For the bottom, it is better to select fairly dense, but not coarse materials. A complex texture weighs down the silhouette and makes it look down to earth, as do large prints, such as plaid.
All drawings, bright and light colors are located in the upper part of the figure, at the bottom - dark, matte, discreet. A good option is a combination dress with a colorful bodice and a plain skirt. Another trick is trousers that match the color of the shoes. If you wear a skirt, it is advisable that the shoes are in harmony with the tone of your skin or tights.

- It is allowed to eat brown rice, bread made from rye flour or with bran, fatty fish (mackerel, salmon), seafood, various nuts and vegetable oils.
Of course, you will have to limit yourself to sweets, but if the craving for such products is too great, then you can satisfy the body’s needs with dried fruits, marshmallows, marshmallows, and marmalade. Yes, these treats contain a lot of sugar, but they have no fat at all. But liquids can and should be consumed in unlimited quantities: pure and mineral water, compotes and teas (including herbal), natural coffee and jelly, but all without added sugar.
Sample menu for 1 day:
- morning: low-fat cottage cheese + 1 slice of bread + tea;
- day: fish from the oven + vegetable broth;
- evening: fresh vegetable salad + boiled or baked lean meat.
Snacks on unsweetened fruits (apples, citrus fruits, pears, plums, apricots, etc.). It is important not to eat a lot; it is better if there is no more than 300 g of food for each meal.
Exercises for Pear: the best types of physical activity
The most problematic areas of the Pear figure are the hips and buttocks. Therefore, to remove unwanted fat deposits and stay in shape, you need to exercise regularly in addition to your diet. The main emphasis should be on strengthening the muscles of the abdomen, thighs, legs and buttocks.
A simple exercise: stand on all fours, leaning on the floor with your arms bent at the elbows, so that your head and back form a straight line; Raise your right leg bent at the knee ten to twelve times without touching the floor, repeat the same with your left leg; Repeat alternating legs up to ten times. It is recommended to perform this exercise several times a day.
You can also stimulate metabolic processes in the body, activate the circulatory system and lymph circulation through massage. By the way, for this it is not at all necessary to visit special salons and pay a lot of money; the simplest self-massage - kneading the legs and buttocks from top to bottom, using anti-cellulite cream, will give an excellent result after a certain period of time. You can also use an electric massager for this.

How to properly lose weight in your thighs and legs?
It is imperative to perform exercises not only to work the muscles of the lower body, but also the upper one. After all, the task is to balance the figure, make it proportional: increase the upper muscles (pump up the arms and chest, strengthen the back), get rid of the fat below.
The most effective exercises for losing weight on thighs and legs:
- squats with legs shoulder-width apart (maybe a little wider), deep, active, but not sharp;
- classic lunges that work the hips; bending the leg from behind should stop at the moment when the thigh line of the front leg is parallel to the floor;
- “Horse”: from a position on your knees and forearms, lift your legs, bent at the knee joint, upward, working the muscles of the buttocks.
Squats are repeated 30-40 times, then a 30-second break is taken, during which you can actively walk around the room. You need to do 3 such cycles in one workout. As for the other two exercises, they are repeated 20 times for each leg, then you need to proceed according to the scheme described above.
In addition to the exercises, you need cardio exercises: jumping rope, active dancing, jumping fitness (jumping on a trampoline), running. Classes must be performed at least 3 times a week, at least 1 hour each.
