Tips for the pear shaped lady

Ladies with a pear-shaped figure can easily look like they have an hourglass figure in their bikini if they go for a balanced look.



What is a pear shape?

A pear shaped figure is more or less described as having the bottom portion larger than the top portion of your body. So if you have large hips and a smaller bust line, then you have what is considered a pear shape.

Ladies when you’re looking for the perfect bikini to fit your shape and be flattering, sometimes the choices can be overwhelming. There are so many choices in cuts, patterns, colors and designs to choose from, who wouldn’t get confused. The following tips are geared to help pear shapes look sleek in their bikinis.

The bikini top styles best for pear shapes.

Pear shaped women should purchase bikini tops with lots of detailing like beads, sequins, loops or knots to have a more hourglass appearance. This will draw attention to your top portion and away from your hips.

To help your bust line look larger choose a bikini top with an under wire. This type of bikini top can work like a push-up bra to support and enhance small busts. As well look for a bikini top with triangle shaped cups to create curves. Bikini tops that have a tie in the front can be tightened to create cleavage if you are pear shaped. Do not purchase bandeau-style or tube top bikinis as these styles will diminish curves.

How to make your hips look smaller.

If you feel uneasy about the size of your hips, don’t get caught in the incorrect thinking that covering them up will make them appear smaller.

If pear shapes try to cover up their hips by purchasing bikinis that use the boxy pant style or hot pants, this will only draw further attention to their hips. The most flattering look for pear shaped women is to opt for low-rise, hip-skimming bikini bottoms.

Pear shaped ladies will look better in bikini bottoms that cut across the widest part of their hips. When purchasing bikini bottoms look for the ones that have side-ties. You can tie them up as tight as you like to accentuate your legs and they look terrific on larger hips.

Look, feel and be confident.

One great thing about pear shaped women is that the classically pear-shaped lady, most times, has a flat stomach. If you have a great looking stomach don’t be afraid to show it off.

Showcase your best assets in your bikini, pear shaped or not and don’t be afraid to do so. If you accentuate your best features when you are wearing any type of clothing including your bikini, you will get a confidence boost.

Feeling confident in your appearance will shine through and confidence is very attractive. Knowing that you look great in your bikini will make you stand taller and give off an aurora that is bound to draw attention to you.

Pear shaped ladies should keep these simple tips in mind while shopping for bikinis and it will give the appearance of a more hourglass shape.
