Pear: High Summer 2010

Pear is the most common female body shape in the UK so you're not alone. As your bottom half is bigger than your top half, it's important to enhance your top half and draw attention to this part of your body rather than the bottom half.

Pick clothing that will keep you in proportion such as detailing on the shoulders or neck, or statement jewellery and scarves. Avoid any patterns or colours below and keep these for your top half only.

A great jacket for pear shape as the wide shoulders balance out your shape. The button details elongate your torso and draw the eye to the top half of your body. The military trend is always around so this is a good investment piece.
