Have you ever worn an outfit that you really loved on someone else, but for some reason, it just didn’t have the same effect on you? This may be due to body type. While one outfit may look good on an apple, athletic or hourglass shape, it may not look the same on a pear shape.
Having a pear-shaped body type means that your hips and thighs are wider than your shoulders and chest. This type is also known as triangle. You may want to find a cut to show off your naturally cinched waist, but you’ll also want to find a cut that balances your shape.
That means looking for wide necklines, sleeves, and anything else that widens the shoulders or accents the bust. You can shop our 21 favorite sweaters for pear-shaped bodies below to help complete your winter wardrobe!
