Hippie

Opposite of the busty body shape is the hippie, or pear, shaped girl. Bright colors or prints are best on top and solid, dark colors are best on the bottom. The pear body shape has a fabulous waist, so be sure to accentuate this with belts and dresses that are fitted at the natural waistline. The key to dressing the pear body shape is to draw attention to your upper body and deemphasize your lower body. Do this by adding embellishments or beading at the top and bright colors or prints at the bust. Strapless dresses work great on you, but choose one with more volume at the top such as pleats or ruffles. A-line silhouettes or dresses with a straight skirt work well on the pear shape. Just try to keep the skirt portion of your dress solid or dark in color to create the most balanced look between top and bottom. Chunky necklaces and earrings are your friend so feel free to accessorize and glam it up on top! The more sparkle, the better!!! Kristen Davis (Charlotte from Sex and the City) is the perfect celebrity fashion role model for the pear body shape.
