Perfect Style Of Jeans For Pear Shaped Body Is Boot Cut
Chose Boot Cut Jean In Dark Denim For Most Flattering Style
For pear-shaped women, the boot cut jean is your best friend. A boot-cut jean is traditionally defined as a jean that tapers at the knee and then loosens at the ankle so that a boot can be worn underneath the jean. It is not to be confused with its cousin, the bell-bottom or the flare jean.
The fuller shaping at the bottom helps visually to offset wider hips and thighs, providing balance for your pear shape proportions. These jeans are also a cinch to wear over tall boots, or for stylish wear with high heels and flats.
Straight Jeans For Fake Skinny Style
Pick Straight Leg Style In Dark Denim
If you love the look of skinny jeans but have never felt comfortable wearing them on your pear-shaped figure, you can fake skinny jeans look with trendy straight leg jeans. These jeans are cut to have a slim silhouette, which will look “skinnier” on a pear-shaped body.
As the name implies, straight leg jeans are jeans with a silhouette running straight down to the bottom. They have a consistent leg width and tend to feel somewhat snugger in the thigh.
Look For Mid Or High Rise Jeans
Thank goodness high rise jeans are back. For pear-shaped women, they are a godsend. One of the major problems with pears is getting jeans to fit in the waist and hips. If it fits in the hips, the dreaded “muffin top” happens If it fits in the waist, well…. we can’t even get it up and over the hips. A higher rise jean solves that problem and even works similar to Spanx by holding in our tummies. Many higher waisted jean styles even have “tummy control” panels built-in. Hallelujah!!!!
Color Matters- Think Dark Wash Or Even Black Jeans
The rule for pears is to bring attention away from hips and thighs. Dark denim is the perfect solution. It is flattering and creates a longer taller look by elongating the legs. Add boots or heels in black and you further elongates the leg making you look slimmer.
One of my new favorites is the black boot cut jean. I wear them all the time instead of pants. They can really up to dress up an outfit and the newer stretch fabrics are super comfortable.
To Avoid The Waist Gap- Look For Stretch Fabric
For pear-shaped women, the traditional heavyweight denim fabric does nothing for our figure because it does not conform to our shape and creates those terrible waist gaps. The newer stretch fabric contains elastane (Lycra or Spandex) between 1-4%. Higher the percentage, the more stretch. You want enough stretch to avoid waist gap, but not so much that the fabric is thin and shows all the lumps and bumps.
With stretch jeans, you want to take care of laundering them. The heat from the dryer can “stretch them out” and frequent washing can wear down the fibers causing them to fray quicker due to the friction.
Don’t Forget The Details
Details in jeans such as pockets and adornment can have a huge impact on how jeans look on a pear-shaped figure. Look for larger non adorn pockets or no pockets to help create the illusion of a smaller bottom. Avoid excess stitching and beading on your jeans as we do not want to draw attention to our bottom half.
The newest trend is the distressed look. This look is not as flattering on pear-shaped bodies. If you do choose to have distressed jeans, make sure they are a darker wash. Balance your total look by having plenty of attention up and out, towards your face.
Can A Pear Shaped Woman Wear Skinny Jeans?
Not the most flattering as it emphasizes your hip and thighs, pear-shaped women can wear skinny jeans. You want to look for a darker wash or black with a high rise and stretch fabric. Balance the look with lighter color top or sweaters that is longer (2 inches below your widest part) and add accessories including scarves or statement necklaces. Remember, straight leg jeans will give you the “skinny look” and are more flattering to your body type.
