Ethnic Wear For Pear Shaped Body
A pear shaped body is when your shoulders and bust are narrower, while your hips and thighs are more curvy. Many women with this body type focus on hiding their hips. But that’s where they go wrong.
In this blog, we have curated the 5 best ethnic wear styles for pear-shaped bodies to help you achieve a perfectly balanced and flattering look.
Sarees
When sarees made a comeback for ethnic casual, you definitely must be head over heels. A saree with prints or work on pallu, a heavy border or a statement blouse such as an off-the-shoulder blouse is ideal for a pear-shaped body.
Select flowy light-weight fabrics like chiffon, georgette, crepe, and soft silk because they fall gently over the hips. Also, avoid super-tight pencil drapes; instead, opt for relaxed pleats.
Lehenga:
Pear-shaped girls and lehenga is definitely a match made in shaadi season heaven. Follow the styling inspirations of Deepika Padukone in Ram-Leela or Sonam Kapoor.
For a pear-shaped body, a high-wasted lehenga with a flared skirt, minimal embroidery does the magic. Highlight your defined shoulders and collarbones with off-shoulder or boat neck blouses. As tempting as mermaid and body-hugging skirts may feel, they are not the most flattering choice for this body type.
Suit Sets
Suit sets are great to flaunt your curves. Select suits that create a visual interest up top and a flow below. For example, a heavy A-line kurta with straight pants or palazzos, short kurta with a sharara or gharara. For accentuating your upper body, select kurta sets with detailed yokes, necklines, or sleeves. Style the dupatta across the shoulders or over one arm.
Flowy fabrics like cotton blends, chanderi, georgette, and soft silk are your go-to choices. That is why Banarasi pret sets and Chanderi kurta sets are perfect. Avoid tight straight cut kurtas with churidars. For a slightly unexpected but striking twist, try layering a floral blazer jacket
Kurti
Styling kurti and suit sets follow the same logic - the top should bring structure and the bottom brings movement. A-line kurti, a flared kurti anarkali, a kurti that is fitted till the bust are few reliable choices for a pear shaped body. Even, a straight kurti in a relaxed fit can be surprisingly flattering for this body type.
While you pay attention to the flare of the kurti, don’t overlook the neckline and bottom-wear. V-necks, collar and boat necks are the best-bet. Bootcut, straight-leg, high-rise, or wide-leg jeans work beautifully with this body type. Super-fitted pants with short kurtis may be trending, but for pear-shaped bodies, this is better given a miss.
Dresses
As a woman with a pear shaped body, you may feel a little wary of one-piece ethnic dresses. But with flowy fabrics, A-line silhouettes, or structured bodices, these dresses can be both comfortable and stunning.
Select dresses that fall at or above the knee to counterbalance your hips or show off your legs with a slight slit. Patterns can be your secret weapon when choosing an ethnic dress. However, avoid large, busy prints around the hips, as they disrupt your silhouette balance.
