Body shape · hips wider than shoulders
Pear
The hips are the widest point, the shoulders are visibly narrower, and the weight of the silhouette sits below the waist.
The proportions of this shape
A body shape is how three widths relate to each other — not a dress size.
Proportions
Shoulders84%
Waist70%
Hips100%
Each bar is measured against the widest point of the silhouette: these are typical proportions for the shape, not your measurements.
What works for you
Cuts that read your proportions in your favour.
Weight at the topA lighter top, texture, puff sleeves, a detail across the chest — anything that answers the hips with shoulder width.
Straight and A-line belowStraight-leg trousers and A-line skirts skim the hip instead of gripping the widest point.
A quiet bottom halfSmooth fabric with no sheen, no patch pockets and no bulky seams at the hip keeps the lower half calm.
An open shoulder lineBoat necks, V-necks and bare collarbones lift the eye upward.
What works against you
Nothing is forbidden — these simply take more effort to wear well.
Details right on the hipPatch pockets, ruffles and peplums at hip level add volume exactly at the widest point.
Skinny below, oversize aboveSkinny jeans with a huge hoodie reverses the balance: the top disappears, the hips read wider.
A tight fit through the hipRigid denim and skirts cut close underline every centimetre where you least need it.
