What To And What Not To Wear If You Are Petite Woman With Big Hips

Pear body type is perhaps the most common body type, and it is essentially the opposite of an apple shape.  If you are petite woman with big hips that means your figure type is pear-shaped. If you have a pear-shaped body, your bottom is curvy, but your shoulders may be narrow. Having said that, as a curvy and plus-size with a pear-shaped body, there are some key rules which you need to apply to your dress sense.

Firstly, let’s talk about what to wear:

Being a petite woman with big hips is something not to be ashamed of, you have been blessed with killer curves – people turn heads because of you. However, knowing the perfect dress that suit your figure can be stressful; but this tips will help you to wear cute clothes and flatter that beautiful figure of yours.

 

1 Wrap Dress:

Rock in a daring wrap dress like Kim Kardashian. The wrap dress (Shop here Shopbop) is a dress with a front closure formed by wrapping one side across the other, and knotting the attached ties that wrap around the back at the waist or fastening buttons. This forms a V-shaped neckline and hugs a woman’s curves. The dress transforms your body and effectively lets you look like a model while you’re wearing it. Really, this dress works well on all body types but is really great for girls with big hips and thighs because it focuses on your tiny waist (or gives you the effect of one). It lets your thickness create an hourglass shape.

2 High Waisted Jeans

A mere looking at this jeans shows, it was actually designed for the curvy woman.  A nice fitting pair of high-waisted pants or shorts can really accentuate you. While it can take some to find a pair to fit your thicker proportions, it will pay off in the end for you when they fit like a svelte glove.

If you’re having too much difficulty finding the perfect pair, like having a small waist with extra fabric around it, go ahead and buy the pair you like and have it hemmed in at the waist. Tailored clothing is always better anyways because it’s made for you and only you. (Shop here ASOS)

3 A-Line Dress

An A-line dress (Shop here Nordstrom) remains a staple in any woman’s wardrobe. Its simple cut is flattering on many body types and can be mixed and matched for different seasons. This dress cinches at the waist and opens at the bottom, giving you a pretty little figure.

This style can be a little more seductive, especially if you’re a little bigger on top. Both of these styles are great choices because they focus on your waist.  That’s the secret to looking beautiful as a woman, I feel. With an emphasized waist, every other aspect of your figure will fall nicely into place.

4 Bodycon Dress & Skirts

Wearing a bodycon dress (Shop on Nordstrom) is a bold statement of self-esteem and body confidence. The name of the dress comes from a contraction of the phrase body conscious. Made from lycra composites, this dress clings tightly to the body, showcasing the figure, and leaving little to the imagination. Bodycon dresses  (Shop on eBay) must be accessorised correctly to avoid an unmitigated disaster. That means, choosing the right shoes or boots, tights, belt, jacket, and jewellery. The tight fitting nature of the dress means that it is even more important than usual to wear the right underwear. Bodycon dresses can be accessorised for both day and evening wear.

Bodycon dresses cling to every curve and bump of the body, so it takes a confident woman to successfully carry the look off. The form-fitting nature of the dress emphasises the silhouette and lends itself most successfully to slim and curvaceous women.

WHAT NOT TO WEAR

1 Tight Clothing

For most women super tight fabrics may be unflattering to your figure type, even on the most slender frame.  This is especially true for a petite woman with a pear-shaped frame as you can see above with petite celebrity singer 5’3″ Kelly Clarkson.

2. TOP STYLES TO AVIOD

As a pear–shaped figure, you should avoid Tulip tops, baby doll blouses, half shirts that expose your midrift and baggy sweaters that cover you bum. Go for tops that are fitted and not baggy that finish at the top of your hips to emphasize your well-defined waist. Avoid tops and short jackets that end at your bum because these draw the eye to your larger middle section.
Try experimenting with different necklines, for instance a V-neckline and shirt blouses elongates your upper body and draws the attention upwards. Wear a lighter color on top and a darker color with heels for your lower half to help detract from your hips.

3 PANT STYLES TO AVOID

 When you have a pear-shape figure there are certain pant styles you want to avoid.  Do not wear the skinny jean or pants that set low on your waist, or narrow down to the ankle. Definitely avoid capri pants. These styles will emphasize your hip size as you can see in this picture above with 5’2″ Kim Kardashian who has a pear shaped figure.
You really want to select more of a figure friendly wide leg trouser that starts at the widest part of the hip and follows straight down to the floor and definitely pair this pant with a heel that is atleast two inches in height to create a slimming effect.

4 Avoid Baggy Clothing

Oversized baggy clothing makes all women appear to be heavier and layering can sometimes have this effect, so be sure to pick your pieces carefully.  You do not want to wear clothing that  Especially if you are pear-shaped you should avoid oversized tops, dresses, jackets, and coats.  You should opt towards semi-fitted or fitted clothing to achieve figure flattering results.

5 SHOES TO AVOID

Chunky shoes with ankle straps tend to make your legs appear shorter and thicker, which causes more emphasis on wide hips. Boots will have the sames effect. You may also want to avoid flat shoes to avoid looking frumpy and a dumpy bum.  It is best to wear to wear a sleek high heeled pump or atleast a two inch heeled shoe to help give you are more a slim lined appearance.
