Heavy down low


Question Posted Wednesday January 27 2010, 10:43 pm

18/f

Ok, so I'm not too sure if I am pear-shaped or not. I'm 57kg and 1.7m tall.
I have a derrière and not so big hips. I'm not flat chested, I'm a B-cup. I think I have sort of broad shoulders too. And my tummy always gives me trouble, sometimes it is flat and lovely (usually before meals) and most of the time, it is a little meaty and it shows whenever I wear tight tops.

So, I need some help figuring out what exactly to wear. When I wear a tight top, (usually light), skinny jeans (light) and my classic white adidas sneakers, I just look SO ridiculous. I love my derrière, I just want to dress more appealing. I want people to notice my derrière and love it as much as I do.

As for my top half, I hate having sweat patches, and because it is summer, I tend to go for blacks, which only makes it worse. Or I put on a cardigan over a singlet. I wear push up bras when I wear singlets, I reckon it makes me look better. :) More feminine.

What other styles should I go for? Tips and suggestions would be perfect. I love jeans! And I'd wear shorts but due to my culture and insecurities, I'd rather stay away.

Thank you and I'm sorry this is so long. :)

Oh, btw, I'm looking for a casual look, chic possibly. More lady like and independent sort of feel.

You might also experiment with beautiful wrap skirts that cinch at the smallest part of your waist (ribcage) then flow out from the waist this will give your bum nice curves yet, hide your tummy too (usually)! Experiment with what length looks best on you (usually somewhere right around the knee), you want the length to make your legs look long and lean.

Higher heels with "pointy" toes help, try to stay away from chunky/clunky shoes or square toes, or thick straps they will "cut off" your legs and make them appear short, just make sure they are comfortable.

Dark shades of jeans are a good bet. ALWAYS go with a straight or flared leg, skinny jeans will give you the "ice cream cone effect" and you want long, clean, straight, lines (make sure your jeans are long enough too, they should just touch the tops of your feet).

Don't pay so much attention to the size of a garment, pay more attention to the fit, this is the most important feature. I hope this helps! Todd the Gem Guy

The mistake a lot of girls with your shape make is wearing clothes that are too tight. The key to a perfect looking bum is the right pair of jeans in the right fit. Avoid jeans that are too tight in the waist, causing your tummy to pinch and "hang over". Find a pair that are snug in the bum but have a little bit of room at the top. Straight legged jeans give you a longer look, highlighting the bum. Avoid the jeans with no back pockets or with pockets that are decorated. Those never flatter properly. For tops, try something that is flowy and loose with an empire waist. It will accentuate your boobs and cover any loose belly fat while still looking good. When you wear fitted tops, remember not to get them too tight. Some people think tighter is sexier, but too tight just shows all your rolls and lumps and flaws, so it ends up looking worse. And take a chance and try some colors and patterns. It might feel strange at first but as you get used to it you'll feel more comfortable and I'll bet you get a lot of compliments. Comfort and style are the key. Something may be "stylish", but if it doesn't fit you right or you feel uncomfortable in it people will notice. When you feel good about what you're wearing, it doesn't really matter about the style. People will think its stylish because you look so confident in it. And a look like I described can go well with heels or sneakers. So you can dress it up or dress it down. Skinny jeans are very hot on the right shape, but for a "pear" shape they can end up making your body look out of balance. If you just can't give up your skinny jeans, find tops that cover the bum and avoid the sneakers. Sneakers with skinny jeans can give the appearance of a a shorter, squatter shape. Have fun and experiment. Pay attention to what people notice or compliment.
