Big Hips and Thighs?

To balance this sexy pear shape, choose tops that fall just over the behind. Also empire line of high waisted tops that accentuate and draw attention to the top are very flattering on this body shape.

Dresses with empire waist are just perfect as they enhance the bust and therefore balance the shape. Wrap style dresses also look stunning on this shape. Avoid bias-cut dresses and skirts as these mould over your shape and draw attention to a big behind.

A-line skirts, wide leg pants and boot-cut jeans (especially with a hipster or low rise which make the behind look smaller) are flattering on this body shape. Anything too clingy or figure hugging in the hip and thighs area will draw attention there and make it look larger then life! Unfortunately, skinny jeans only look good on celery shapes.

Use dark colours on the bottom half and bright colours on the top. Go for flowing fabrics, and avoid anything shiny on the lower half. Don't wear tops and jackets that finish at the widest part of your hips, and stay away from high waisted pants and skirts that accentuate the waist, as the small waist wil just make the hips and thigh look bigger.
