Having a pear shaped body, as with any shape really, can be both a blessing and a curse. Having a pear shaped body means that you are wider in the hips and thighs, have narrower shoulders, a big bum and smaller bust. Your weight is mainly distributed towards the lower half of your body, and so this can be a particular problem when buying items like jeans. You may find yourself getting very frustrated when nothing will fit! Sometimes even larger sizes that you know should fit you still refuse to, because of the shape of your body.

You want to be drawing attention away from the wider areas of your body – the hips, thighs and bottom. Boot cut jeans widen out gently below the knee, which will help to balance out your heavier areas. The added width at the bottom of the leg will make your wider areas look naturally smaller in comparison. However, be sure to go for boot cut rather than flares or wide leg jeans, as once the leg gets too wide it simply makes your entire lower body look oversized.

Sometimes it can be difficult to find the right cut and size of jeans, and of any clothes, in high street retailers and therefore you might want to consider shopping online. This allows you to search for the key terms you are looking for, for example you can simply type in “boot cut” to filter directly to all the site’s boot cut jeans. Websites like www.ellos.co.uk are great places to browse through many items of clothing at your own pace, and it also allows you to order any size you want, even if that size is currently out of stock. It can be very frustrating in a high street store when you cannot find your size, but shopping online eliminates that problem. Visit the ellos site today to learn more.
