And you, do you know the Pear Body Shape aka the Triangle Body Type? Her characteristics | Point 1: The Body Shapes

My beloved four readers,

In this new post will talk about another type of body shape, Pear Body Shape, the Mediterranean woman for excellence. Narrow waist, pronounced bottom and shapely thighs. The image of this kind of woman was an icon of sensuality and femininity since the 50s.

But still today is a widespread and loved type so much that many celebrities have made of their curves own distinctive, showing them proudly at every opportunity.

An example? Jennifer Lopez, of course.

YOU ARE A PEAR BODY SHAPE IF:

When you put weight the fat in excess goes to localize almost exclusively in the lower part of the body, to better understand, from below the navel downwards.

You’ll see to increase before the volume of the hips, bottom and thighs and only after, also, the volume of upper part of the body, love handles and belly. Hardly never the volume of the breasts and arms increases too, unless I have too many kilos in excess.

TIPS FOR CREATING A VISUAL BALANCE:

It’s necessary to balance the half part of upper body with the lower half part by wearing clothes that make the shoulders wider and, at the same time, you need to distract attention from the curves of the bottom.

* Even with the use of colors. Lighter colors will be adopted for the bust while dark colors for lower part. Never the other way. From classic black color to blue navy. For example, having to buy jeans prefer those with dark wash.

* Wearing V-necks, that stretch the neck and put the focus on breasts.

* By the use of fabrics with a stiff and thick consistency for the upper part.

* Even the vertical lines are not to reject, whether they are hinges or stitching showy or simply folds of fabric, they will create an optical effect of lengthening and slimming to the body

* Empire style dresses

* Prefer skirts to pants will prove another good choice. Choose them flared and fluid on the hips. Perfect for the pear female type are wheel and circle skirts and those with knee length, in wonderful 50s style.

* Still, the high-waisted trousers suit very well to this type of woman as long as they are not too tight on the bottom and hips.

Do not underestimate:

- A good cut of hair. These can be worn loose, but it will better if not too long. Also are better flyaway hair cuts in order to divert the attention from the hips.
- A fabulous make up to attract interest on the face:
Do you have beautiful lips? So, absolutely go ahead on a red lipstick.

- Large foulards and scarves, they visually expand the upper part of the body and draw attention on face.
- The bustier, if you have beautiful breasts, these give sensuality.
- A good bra with push-up, better define the waist and emphasize the curves in the right places
- High heels, to slim legs.
- The socks in winter, choose them dark and opaque. They streamline legs
- Be inspired by the outfits in vogue during 50s.

A current example? Dita Von Teese

What to avoid:

- The pinstriped suits. Pinstripe lines would tend to expand on our own curves.
- The jackets with a sloping shoulders line

- The sweater long and / or oversize
- The pockets, both on thighs, like cargo pants, and on bottom.
- The skirts both mini that portfolios.
- Bermudas.

- Cuffs on the final part of the pants
- The shoes with ankle straps or mid-calf boots. They could break the vertical line that you are trying to create.

- The heels too thin compared to your calves.

But if the pear female type loves her curves and want to accentuate hers shapes?

For example, in addition to Jennifer Lopez also Beyoncé made of hers curves own distinctive characteristic.

We should use everything that draws attention on the curves without forgetting, however, some little slimming trick for bottom and thighs.

- The pants straight-legs, they follow the curves without too squeezing them.
- The pencil skirts, they underline a lot curves, but is only important to choose them not in a too garish (bright) color and in a good fabric.
- The gipsy skirts, they minimize the lower part of the body so you can focus the attention on your waist and breasts with top and necklaces.
- The clothes that follow curves with details on the bottom, such as drapes, ruffles and sequins, but don’t put these details to the height of your hips.
