If your hips are wider than your shoulders and waistline, this makes you pear shaped.

To achieve balanced proportions, the trick is to draw attention up to give the illusion of a broader top. You'll also want to accentuate your waist to give you that hourglass figure. Ideal pieces include:

Tops and jackets with strong shoulders and/or eye-caching detailing

A-line skirts and dresses to skim over your hips

Tailored jackets that accentuates your waist

Coats that fall above or below the widest point of your hips and bottom

Trousers with a slight boot cut or flared bottom

Dark skirts and trousers

V shaped necklines
