Ever put on an outfit you absolutely loved on someone else, but for some reason, it’s just not having the same effect on you? It could likely be due to your body type. While one outfit might look good on an apple, athletic or hourglass shape, it might not look the same on a pear shape.
Having a pear-shaped body type means your hips and thighs are wider than your shoulders and chest. This type is also known as the triangle. You’ll likely want to look for pieces to show off your naturally snatched waist, but you’ll also want to find pieces that balance out your shape.
That means looking for wide necklines, puff sleeves, and anything else that broadens your shoulders or accents the chest. You can shop 21 of our favorite flattering sweaters for pear-shaped bodies below to help complete your winter wardrobe!
