What Not to Wear if You're a Pear

Hippy women, need to avoid (like the plague) the following items of clothes. If you have any of these items in your wardrobe, donate them to charity. They’ll look better on anyone else.
Bulky fabrics adorned with bows or large frills on your lower-half simply add more girth where you want it least. This is not a technique to hide your flaws.
Bias-cut clingy fabric that falls across the hips or thighs will always go out at the hips, out at the thighs and then in at the knees, making you look like a lightbulb
Any light satin that is designed to “drape” across the hips will make your hips and thighs seem strangely huge
Pants that are shaped in at the calf accentuate the size of your thighs and hips and should be avoided at all costs. No skinny jeans for pear-shaped women.
Bright colours, geometric shapes, horizontal lines, eye-catching patterns on any skirts or trousers draw too much attention to your curves
Shorts other than for sports or exercise. Shorts are all about the thighs and can never be flattering on a woman with broad-thighs (or a man for that matter).
Oh ok, you can wear short-shorts if you are one of those rare skinny pear-shaped women, like Kristen Davis.

  2. Dead on! I will say that I can do a print if it is a LARGE, relatively simple print. I have a couple of things with big black and white patterns that I love. Tiny, tight prints just emphasize how much space they cover, and on me that's a lot of space.
