Do I have a pear shape body type?
Do I have a pear shape body type? I think I have a pear body type because I have a big bum. I have a tiny bust, an hourglass-like waist, but thin thighs. I am tall and extremely skinny, (around 5′ 8″). What tops and what pants could I try?
Pear shape body types are wide in the hip area; visualize a pear. Your body type sounds like a tall slender rectangle body type since you have a tiny bust and thin thighs. You want to create curves when you have a rectangle body type. Look for tops with detailing around the neckline, and tops that widen your shoulders such as wide-set V necks, boat necks and scoop neck tops. Off the shoulder styles, peplum and halter tops should be flattering on you also. Pants and jeans with pockets or detailing around the hips will widen your hip area making your waist look smaller giving you a curvy figure look. Skinny style jeans that make your hips look wider should be flattering on you. Since you are tall cropped pants or gauchos pants would look fabulous on your figure too. You might want to search the Internet for styles that flatter rectangular body shapes.

Dressing For Your Body Type
No two people are alike but there are similar shapes that can be categorized as body types. Knowing your body type/ shape is important. In order to look good you need to choose clothing styles that flatter you. Few if any of us have the “perfect figure.
What body type am I?
My measurements are listed below:Shoulder width = 34 inchs, Bust = 30 inches , Waist = 23 inches and hips = 34 inches. Knowing your body type/ shape is important. In order to look good you need to choose clothing styles that flatter your figure type. Similar shapes can be categorized as typical body types. Common body types are: apple, pear (triangle), inverted triangle, rectangle and hourglass. The measurements you sent in indicate that you are an hour glass figure type. You can wear belts to show off your figure. Women with hour-glass figures look great in dresses with waistlines and skirts. No need to cover up or hide any figure faults. Stay away from clothing with blousy tops and loose-fitting dresses that will not flatter. You are most fortunate since the hour-glass figure is the most perfect figure type.
