There are a lot of Pear shaped women in the world (it is the most common female shape) who seem to think they cannot wear Palazzo Pants successfully. Hate to tell you ladies but … wrong!
It’s simply a question of wearing what suits your body shape and hiding what you don’t like to accentuate your assets …
What does a woman with a pear shaped body wear with Palazzo Pants?
Before you decide on tops and jackets, it’s important to look at your particular shape of Pear and decide what it is you need to camouflage.
Palazzo Pants Hide a Multitude of Sins
For example, you may have the orange-peel appearance of cellulite on your thighs, in which case you need to make sure that the Palazzo Pants you choose are made from a suitable fabric that will flow over this area to hide any bumps.
You also want to make sure that the fabric has enough weight to it that the pants aren’t see through or clingy.
When you have a shapely derrière then having a smooth fitting waist that sits close to the skin will give you a sexy silhouette and comfort.
Palazzo pants are all the rage right now, because they are so flattering for women who are Pear shaped. You don’t have to look far to see how this wardrobe “must have item” is turning up on catwalks and magazines.
What to Wear With Your Palazzo Pants
As with anything you wear, your goal is to create balance in your appearance. Look for tops with detail, bright colours and patterns that give your shoulders and bust all the attention. Tops and jackets with a fitted waist or small shoulder pads work well for pear shaped ladies. So do jackets with soft fullness and narrow patterns.
Choose wider necklines like the bateau, squared or cowl necks, and wear fitted tops with horizontal necklines, contrasting colours, bold designs and accessories such as colourful scarves and lots of chunky jewellery, beautiful earrings and small shoulder pads.
Horizontal stripes can visually add inches to your top half to balance your hips. As a Pear, you can also wear your Palazzo Pants with tops or jackets with large buttons and/or contrasting piping. And wear chunky jewellery and drop ear-rings. Anything to bring the eyes up…
The general rule for your pear shaped body is to select lighter colours for the top and darker colours for the bottom. Pear shapes look wonderful in dark-coloured, flared or gently flowing pants which is why Palazzo Pants are so perfect for Pears because they gently flow around you. Select the darkest coloured Palazzo Pants that are available … black works for everybody!
Palazzo Pants look fabulous with waist length or three quarter length jackets; and for those who what to cover up a little, a three quarter length jacket will also hide your bum.
However, my all time favourite look for Pears is a little leather bomber jacket with a pair of black Palazzo Pants and a pair of boots. It’s a sensational look for all Pears in my opinion.
Palazzo Pants & Shoes
Moving into summer, wear your Palazzo Pants with high heels or attractive sandals.
These versatile pants can be dressed up for an evening out or down for a casual day out and about with friends.
Always feel comfortable wearing your Palazzo Pants, while knowing you look chic, sexy and stylish …
