How To Dress If You Have a Pear-Shaped Body

[4mAALIKcHIN4]

i prefer this bodytype!

[ExoticCalli]

I am pear shaped.

For the pear shaped body it's all about emphasizing your small waist. That is the number one rule of thumb. Looks to celebrities with pear shaped bodies i.e. Jennifer Love Hewitt, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez etc.. and see what style of clothing they often wear that is most flattering. It's often something that emphasizes their best assets i.e. small waist, flat stomach

[JMaSsA11]

I'm a pear, and I don't find this helpful.

[rossA09]

why do you want to wear loosly clothing and hide your figure?? I'm a pear a shape because my hips are wider then my waist but i also have a little belly fat. lol I'm proud to show it off. I would never want to wear clothes that will hide them but I also dont want to wear clothes that are tight and uncomfortable. lol

[omania100]

those? pear shaped? are u kiddin me!! dont bring skinny girls and shape them..real shapes please!!

[TheFallingAutumn]

she's a model and not even pear shaped

[sailorstatrlight]

I want a video on how to show off a pear shaped body. Not hide it.

[macksun]

theres nothing Pear shaped about any of these woman in this video. You white guys standard of a womans shape is funny.

[xXLikeAbosSXx09]

@macksun lmao. true

[cole505wso]

Aww man that "Did You Know?" fact made me sad...I'm underweight :( XD

[tigereyes5]

@novayorker

Being a pear depends on your proportions. You can have 34" hips with a 23" waist and still be a pear if your proportions fit the bill.

[MrTakuyaKimura]

if you have big thighs why would you want to wear wide legged pants that would just make them look larger lol

[Haltsha]

she's so fuckin slimmmmmmmmmmmm!

[Haltsha]

Pears ROCK!

[celtticnesses]

lol the funny part is that i watched the how to dress a hourglass figure and these "pears" have a better shape than the hourglasses

[residentevilnerd]

i dont think this would work for nicki minaj

[jasmin1168]

@residentevilnerd ahha. :P ikr?

[MadeInChina81]

And these models are "supposedly" pead-shaped? Could you people not give advice if you dont know what pear-shaped means!

[flamed00darts]

im 5'3 and 107 lbs and I'm a pear shape.. does that make me fat ? cause i sure as hell look fat because i've got wide hips.. so again FML !!

[MegaWinnieGirl]

@flamed00darts Hey, guys like wide hips :p and you're not fat at all.

[flamed00darts]

so if your pear shaped your "fuller" ? :"( FML !!

[eastsideswanger]

i thought guys with girls that put out regularly are less likely too stray...

[misselliesmartie]

i wanna know how to dress if ur fat

[ChristmasEnthusiasm]

I thought she had a really nice figure

[TheMeriamk]

This is really stupid, they looked better before !

[snowflakeyuki]

36, 27, 38? Is that pear shaped or more spoon?

[oxpinky523xo1]

im 5'3 125 pounds 27 waist 39 hips and i love my pear shape body! :)

[arpita2811]

hey!..ppl..lol..stop..most f m..are pear shaped...all d shorts...low waist..suits..so just shut n njoy;)

[ILoveRaccons]

Girls with curves are hot

[ILoveRaccons]

I like girls with curves not girls that look like a rectangle so fuck you howcast

[DeeLynn900]

Why is it always about making you look thinner? I thought if you were pear shaped it was the best. next to "apple shaped" people with large hips and thighs dont need help to get an hourglass shape.

[ShesAnOddOneInntShe]

Who says being pear-shaped makes you fuller figured?! I'm a totally healthy, normal weight!

[JacolynOWNS]

@ShesAnOddOneInntShe Exactly! I'm only 120 lbs, and 5'7. My waist measures only 24.5 inches, but my hips are 37, haha. That's just how God made me.

[DestructionBattery]

well i was god damn born this way so screw this.

[OldFashionedGirl81]

What a negatively driven video. Sheesh. I like my hips!

[bearnstainbearslover]

those r the same ladies from the apple shape video

[worldpeace365]

is it normal for a men to have pear shaped body?

[tigereyes5]

@worldpeace365

Men tend to be either apple shaped or rectangle. So when they put on weight they will either end up with a disproportionately larger belly or it will spread overall. Or when they are at a healthy weight they may as apples still have very slim hips and slim legs or as rectangles they will be more even with a rounder shaped butt. Then there are pear shaped men - I've seen one - but it is a rarer body type for men.

[worldpeace365]

@tigereyes5 i think i was the one you saw. any tips for men? thanks:)

[VASINGER]

@tigereyes5 Im a man, and Im actually an hourglass, lol. I put on weight on my hips and thighs, not so much my waist. I have a very narrow waist, broad shoulders, and wider hips.

[UnKnown69Insanity]

SHE WAS BARELY PEAR SHAPED!!!

[mynor888]

Uhm, shouldn't we embrace pear shape women? Instead of "hiding" her hips? I love girls with hips, thighs, and some ass too!

[alexus2394]

@mynor888 instead of thinking of it as trying to hide them, its better to think of it as trying to compliment them.:)

[SmilingMiranda]

I wear empire waists all the time for my pear shape :P

[AGDOLLCHRISTINA]

wtf? shouldn't howast be telling people how to get the most from their shape? And not to be encouraging them to think that the hourglass figure is the only shape that guys like

[mykhbh]

girls don't do that, hips is mens weak point :) , hips are a turrn ooooooooon for men

[TheHikari1997]

@mykhbh but there are so many pervert out there and i thought it was chest

[The01Gaby]

Why is she trying to hide it? She has a beautiful body. And yes, im straight:))

[sk8n0mad]

i came here cus i like big butts and i cannot lie :)

[dinomirez]

Tits are nice, but the bottom is where all the action happens.

[DrSgnos]

Coming from a man, I can't understand why women would want to hide a pear-shaped body. I thought it was a good thing to have. . . .

[thewaysofmylife]

@DrSgnos that's hourglass

[zomgseriosuly]

Yeah but my hips aren't ten inches more than my waist and I'm still pear shaped...Is that why they said "classic"?

[zomgseriosuly]

@DrSgnos Because everyone says hourglass is best

[elpixfull]

@DrSgnos

I agree with you

[xxxZeroSoulZxxx]

Hmmm..so if I'm fat there's a low chance my partner will leave me, and if I'm skinny then the chances are higher?...huh ironic

[FindTheBody]

@xxxZeroSoulZxxx It didn't say fat, it said fuller figured versus very thin. Curves - which is different than fat. Fat women as a whole have just developed the tendency to call themselves "curvy" when they're really just fat.

[candied88dj]

she looks more like a inverted triangle ,not really pear

[amkma2ca]

I'm more shaped like a watermelon. Got anything for that?

[veronicachic]

i like my pear shape, thank you..no need for me to hide it assholes!

[Iwuzhere321]

Step 1: Breast implants

Step 2: Congrats! :D

[misslorena90]

I don't know why people see pear body as such a problem :( here in Brazil the most girls have pear body and we love it.. im proud of my hips!!

It's sexy and beautiful to have hips

[xJBxStudiosx]

i need your help pls.. thanks..

[oxpinky523xo1]

plz help im a 34b bust 27 waist and 37 hips what body shape am i??

[ii3rittles]

@oxpinky523xo1 your a pear! if your waist is 8-12 inches smaller than your waist that means pear. if your bust was the same size as your hips than you would be an hourglass.

[sasuke1on1]

im pear shaped and top heavy....help??

[LuneSelet]

@sasuke1on1 that just means your hour-glass figured.

[MissKatelynnne]

@sasuke1on1 Hourglass??

[MsStarburstChic]

anybody have tips for wearing girly ( dresses and skirts) when your apple shaped but have thick yet short legs/thighs like a pear?

[isabelurbabygirl99]

umm why would i want hide my butt and hips their my best part thumbs up for big booties :D no homo

[honeyjoy22]

i am pear-shaped... but i look smaller when im wearing flary pants

[JaneSaysRawr]

Haha, "ohm pier"?! Srsly?! Laaawwwl!!!

[TheTravisntinasalon]

@kaykaykaykaykk ...You are the moron. Your bosy shape has everything to do with it!!! You shouldn't reply if you don't know what you are talking about. You must be pear shaped and in denial.

[QTpie1417]

Being hourglass or pear shaped sucks if your short

[RedZebraKush]

@QTpie1417 no it doesn't :) lol

[XRenXViolinX]

@QTpie1417

not if you are still slim

[girly1234100]

redhead is the lady from apple shaped

[Hatehead]

Errr the model sucks in this.... She is like a rectangle figure not pear!!

[stichedghost]

Why would she want to hide her figure? I think she has a gorgeous figure that she should flaunt it :/

[ZanyGaugh]

the model isnt pear shaped. shes a stick!

[jazmin2hip]

guys like big butts!!! they even made a song about it!!!!!

[xyzMitchellzyx]

What ever happened to self confidence? Embrace your body! If you don't, no man will.

[Kamikuru77]

@xyzMitchellzyx nah no matter how black you are you'll never be white

[Robihno888]

lol, i'm a quite skiny guy but i'm way thicker than these girls.

[mosdefali]

@Robihno888 if you ever have to use the word "thick" than your not skinny

[MsChattyCatherine]

Oh yeah! Fat woman keep their men!

[mosdefali]

@MsChattyCatherine thats a lie.

[k9feces]

That girl isn't pear shaped, she is too thin, I feel ripped off

[QueenSakina]

@k9feces body shapes have nothing to do with your weight. You can be an obese pear shape and an anorexic pear shape. It's about the proportions.

[Dramactica]

@k9feces

pear shaped can be slim and have a big hips. my ratio is 32-24-34 and I'm not heavy set nor obesse. slim but not skinny.

[DarkPanthera]

Some good tips, but I found the last part that "men are less likely to stray if with fuller figured partners than with slim partners" very sexist and horrible. I am here trying to make myself dress in a way that suits me and gives ME confidence, not my partner, and here is this video telling me that it's almost my fault if my partner strays because I don't look the way I'm 'supposed' to look. Keep sexist things out.

[tigereyes5]

@DarkPanthera

It's also a load of nonsense and based on ONE study.  Heck if being fuller figured was the answer to a happy marriage then KFC would get government contracts

[IdgafBish123]

Why would I want to draw attention away from my hips?

[claudiacloclo2]

@IdgafBish123 i agree with u ! we need to show off our bums and hips!!!!

[honeyjoy22]

you have a point there.. i think we should flaunt our hips/curves.. it's our asset right?

[XRenXViolinX]

@IdgafBish123

i know right...hips don't lie, lol jk

[celtticnesses]

@IdgafBish123 everything revolves around hourglass figures lol.

if ur apple u have to find a way to make ur waist smaller and bottom half bigger

if ur a pear, u have to make ur hips smaller and boobs bigger

if ur if ur top heavy but not apple, u have to find a way to make ur boobs smaller and hips bigger

if ur straight, u have to create urself hips and boobs

society sucks

[converse91ify]

Im a pear shape

and these are tips to hide your hips and ass why would i want to do that I love my fat ass

[lXlRIVERlXl]

@converse91ify I know, pear shape is as good as hourglass to me. You are lucky, I love a nice ass.

[Kroumph]

im an hourglass shape, and im not trying to hide my hips! these videos tell girls to basicly hide their best features :(

[insertacoolname]

LAWL "visually interesting tops" why don't they just say tops that show your boobs :D

[Iridris]

@insertacoolname Because pear-shapes tend to have little breasts, so there's no point in showing them off. What she probably ment is tops with visually interesting patterns or fabrics that draw away your attention from the big hips.

[PammieChan]

@insertacoolname

Most pear shape ladies doesn't have much boobs. That's why.

[olexia07]

I like how this video basically tells you to hide the pear shape. Draw as much attention away from it as possible lol. I am pear shaped and I like it, I would love it if this video told me how to flaunt it in a way that makes me look nice rather than hide

[tigereyes5]

@olexia07

Exactly! Opt for pencil skirts and straight /skinny leg jeans to flaunt your lower half.

[PeaceLemony]

I like having big hips and a small waist, flat tummy...It's better than being apple shaped which makes you look like a man with a beer belly

[modusop8]

@BRANXNIA Thank u 4 tellin it like it should be. curves on a woman are perfect an should b shown . an if yr blessed with a pear shape yr a goddess !

[modusop8]

What kinda BS ADVISE ARE U SPOUTIN !Y R U SUPPRESSING WHAT MEN WANT 2 C ! 1 OF THE 1ST FEATURES WE LO0K @ IS A WOMANS ASS ! AN U WANNA HIDE A WORK OF ART! IF U GOT A BIG ASS FLAUNT IT! MEN WANT 2 C IT ! IF U MUST COVER SOMETHING THEN COVER A FLAT ASS !

[SooDiStUrB3d]

Why the hell would pear-shaped girls want to hide the hips?!

I'd kill for a more defined waist.. darn genetics.

[MrCocanuts]

UH HAAA no wonder why girls wear em!!! cuz it distracts us from there booobs

[philandgez]

everyones comments are awesome lol

[rachg01]

according to one study? you have to do better than that to support an hypothesis.

[rachg01]

i hate it how these types of videos are all about hiding your body shape. why are they saying to wear things that draw eyes away from the hips?

[emaoneluv]

shoulder pads? seriously?

[Branxnia]

I wish they would give tips on where to find jeans that would fit well for a good price. I hate how expensive clothes can be and being a pear shaped woman makes it damn near impossible to find pants that will fit. I usually have to spend extra money just to find pants that fit. :(

I want something to emphasize my curves and make them look like a national treasure, not hide them and pretend I'm something I'm not.

[matawin2]

dont wear dark pants, wear white leggings to show your nice hips

[marshmallowygoodness]

I am a pearish shape and empire waists look terrible on me and honestly make almost everyone look pregnant. I like a dress fitted in the waist and flaired out a-line skirt.

[MyUpsilon]

the comments here are very comforting. thks guys

[converse91ify]

why would I want to hide my booty and hips fuck that I'm showing the world

[SillyRamaBubbles]

Most of these videos tell us how to hide our shape and make ourselves look different. If you're bigger, look slimmer! If you're very thin, wear clothes that give you a shape! If you're too shapely in one area, balance it out in another area! Why do we have to try to change who we are? We're all BEAUTIFUL! I understand looking your best, but seriously? Why hide the shape that you have?

[hellohannah1231]

id rather be pear shaped than top heavy.

[emaoneluv]

@hellohannah1231 yeah true!

[kaybrin1]

aww come on fat asses r better then no asses

[amaranth1]

The only thing I hate about some of these vids is that they make pear shaped or hourglass women look like old grandmothers. I mean, I'm a skinnier hourglass/pear but I want to look fun and flirty and not like I'm going to a cocktail party at AARP.

[Hanatbh]

1:25, that's meant to be a high waisted skirt.. haha.

[nimoisansvous]

Does this woman think that's how the french pronounce empire ???

[EskimoErica]

I really hate my large thighs, ive got a skinny top and big legs. IS that normal? Do they get smaller as you grow, im only 14 atm.

[pickachu32]

@EskimoErica dw :D

it should hopefully

[TiNGE24]

@EskimoErica I know how you feel ): I gained some weight and noticed that the upper part of my legs got fat, so I'm doing what I can to lose weight, but it's so hard to get it back down! I'm 23, and my suggestion is to be careful with your weight by eating healthy, exercise, and you'll be fine :)

Also, don't let it get to you! If you're comfortable with the way you are, then don't let others make you feel like you have to be the size of a tooth pick. That shape isn't always possible.

[EskimoErica]

@TiNGE24 Thank you! That's all I can say x

[Dada8282]

0:00

[PunkyPlow]

"purdy girl" XD 1:26

[Beaverfishpwns]

She would look great in anything. Shes pretty :)

[TheRETROGIRL70]

This hides the shape.... Why would u want to turn into a hourglass? I thought this waz about how to flatter yr shape

[SeriouslyBadElf]

What I dislike about this video is that, it's trying to hide your pear shape. If you're a thin person, you don't have to hide your hips, you want to show them off.

[SuperTuffy86]

I have a pear shape but no ass! :( I'm actually pretty slim (I didn't even know I was 'pear' because I have shoulder too! I had a friend tell me that I'm 'pear' and now I'm all paranoid about my hips! :( But I do own the Silver jeans in the video ( 3 pair) and a coat that looks eerily similar to that trench coat! :)

[kurt30001]

I don´t care..Pear-shaped woman like nicer..Than looking like stick.

[chewieyeah123]

Too bad none of this would look good on me Lmao

[Kneen18]

this actually helped :D

[AnnisaAyana]

I wish i was a pear shape...hips are so gorgeous to me!!!

[BellezaLatinaVLR]

isn't the pear and hourglassfigure the same thing?

[Shelovesmusic14]

@BellezaLatinaVLR no,Pears dont have any boobs.hourglasses have boobs, hips and an itty bitty waist

[Delinvia]

lol wow the average woman in america has 42 inch hips lol that exaplains my 40 inch hips......lol

[Bubbledume]

i couldnt find the shoulder pads at the store

[usucdik]

What a completely retarded video. Everything about it is just wrong, from the NOT "pear-shaped" people in it to the ridiculously stupid dressing tips that would only make you look goofy.

[Joolie9009]

so guys like pear shaped?

[anissa2007]

i'm pear shaped and i hate summer time cuz then i have to dress more lightly or wear bikini and people get to see the imperfections-_-

This doesn't help at all, bootcut jeans aren't trendy anymore...

[Levax3]

@anissa2007 bootcut jeans are trendy it all comes down to how you wear them and present your style. who cares about whats really trendy anyway, if you dress your own style and people see you feel comfortable, look good and proportional in them thats what matter, thats when your beautiful. I used to wear skinny jeans always ( i'm a pear shape) and I look back I was out of proportion and i just found a way to fit in bootcut or flared jeans into my wardrobe. either in a bohemee wardrobe or classy.

[juicy8956]

Wtfff pear shapes are sexy aff , why would you wana hide your ass and thighs . Wow people are stupid

[ElvisIsAwesome123]

Why would you want to slim your hips and butt?

[redraven24]

Can I say a big thank you to all the guys who have commented on this and explained how much hips and thighs and butts are a turn on...more and more bodacious women need to hear that from men. It's a comforting thought that you appreciate the disproportionate curves God has designed us pear-shapers with :D

[blckprljin]

@redraven24 except for those of us who are apple shaped, who don't need any more talk about how unattractive our body shapes are.

[Gorillazfreak18]

They call THAT pear shape? lol maybe back in the 50's.

These days, I see girls with small waists and some big ol booties lol. Way bigger then that.

[tigereyes5]

@Gorillazfreak18

Lol, true, but pear shapes come in many variations. You have the small structured pears like the woman in the video and you have J Lo and you can go up to Buffy the Model! All of them are pear shaped though.

[Gorillazfreak18]

@tigereyes5 Well the girl in the video isn't really PEAR shaped. I never thought shoulder size had anything to do with it. I know a girl who is 5'11 and has big shoulders but has a near flat chest, small stomach and HUGE ass. So...I look at boobs and butt to judge.

[tigereyes5]

@Gorillazfreak18

Hardly any woman falls into one of the four basic shapes exactly.  Most women are combinations of 2 of the basic shapes. Your friend sounds like she's a pear/ruler combo.

If you google information regarding body shapes you will find that the structure of your frame as well as your fat distribution are the determining factors.

[4mAALIKcHIN4]

The fact at the end is so relieving. I dont get how women get tricked into thinking they need to shave off their hip, and thigh inches. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!??! I love hips and thighs on women.

With out them you just look awkward to me.

[4mAALIKcHIN4]

I wonder who is hourglass shaped. I love pearshaped women. hips, thighs and ass is the shit.

[jenny800610]

thelastenglishrose, I am happy with who I am but still, I want to improve my image and be presentable with confidence^^

[DontForgetIran2010]

actually being pear shaped has nothing to do with shoulder width Its strictly defined by the waist to hip ratio.

[tigereyes5]

@DontForgetIran2010

Actually, pear shapes are also defined by their typically narrow shoulders being smaller than the width of their hips as well as their waist to hip ratios.

[DontForgetIran2010]

@tigereyes5 you might be right to some degree if the entire body is being evaluated as pear shaped

Some say an hourglass figured person would have shoulder width equal to the hip width but I usually say being hourglassed has nothing to do with shoulder width its all about bust size

[tigereyes5]

@DontForgetIran2010

Well most women are combinations of the basic shapes.

Hourglass women are defined by their symmetry and curves. So as well as their shoulders being the same width as their hips their bust size are also equal to their hip size.

[teresachardy]

God forbid I don't dress right and cause my man to stray!!! What freakin' decade is this?

[Zannypants666]

That's not what I think of when I think of pear shaped :(

[MoveMakerTV]

ladies please dont listen 2 this BULLSHIT looking for ways to hide your pear shape... an hour glass is definitely cool but its still only the less developed version of a pear... its the hips baby.. the hips :) 4 real

[gochujong]

that girl in the video is NOT really pear shaped

[tigereyes5]

@gochujong

Yes she is.

It's about shape not size. She may be small structured but you can distinctly see her defined waist to hip ratio and her narrow shoulders.

[JaslenaLove]

I Mean What are they talking About.? Don't you want to show off your Lovely Hips as a Pear-shaped Woman.? I Think it's beautiful.! I've Asked Tons of Guys what type of shapes do they like and they always say Pear-shaped and Hourglass.!

I Mean Having a curvy Body is just So Pretty and iam A Pear Myself,I Don't Have a Huge Bust.But My Hips are a Little wider and My Stomach is small and My Bum Is Fair Enough not Big or little i think pear-shaped is so pretty.!
