So you’re a pear-shaped lady, you’re slim and delicate on top, but full on the bottom. You can go crazy with frills, details, and embellishments upstairs, but have to exercise an exasperating amount of caution when it comes to the basement. While finding the perfect pair of pants, especially jeans, is a pain in the booty for ladies of varying booty sizes, this process is especially agonizing for pears. In fact, all the bootylicious babes I know have more or less forsaken pants altogether!
But don’t despear - you too can mix it up and look smokin’ hot in a pair of pants. Click READ MORE for tips and tricks!
1) Dark denim is the perfect choice for shrinking a lower half. Wear them with a solid colored top that hits below the waist, which will help disguise large hips and thighs and gives the illusion of a more streamlined silhouette.

Seven Jeans, $169.
2) Wear any vertical pattern on the bottom half, like a pair of super-chic pinstripe pants, to slim and lengthen your legs.

Alice + Olivia Pinstripe Pants, $264.
3) Avoid side pockets at all costs, as this obviously draws attention to the hips. Trousers with front-pockets are more flattering and draw the waist inward.

Dittos Classic Wide Leg Jeans, $165.
4) Avoid tapered cut pants that emphasize a wide middle area, try a boot-cut pant instead to create a straight, lean line.

Paige Premium Denim Laurel Canyon Boot Cut Jeans, $179.

Comments on this post
why didn’t you use a pear shape to model the pants?
Aw, come ON, a pear-shaped model? Are you serious? America’s Next Top Model is won by a ‘plus size’ girl, and she’s a size 10. Since when was size 10 plus size?
The day they use an average woman to model clothes will be a day that lives in infamy.
This advice - as with most fashion advice - is to look more like a hanger than a woman - lots of men like ‘booty’ - curves and EVIDENCE of being a woman - depends on who you’re trying to impress. . .
Are women still trying to hide curves? We should know by now that hips and a nice butt are attributes, not a flaw! Why in the world would I want to hide my lady lumps… so I can look like a boy?! Besides, men LOVE booty and hips that are well proportioned, so ladies embrace what you have and boldly strut in those skinny jeans!
