Wondering how to dress your pear-shaped body now that you are pregnant? There are some easy ways to balance out your body (think minimize the lower half and accentuate the upper half) that will emphasize your curves and keep you looking beautiful. These tips work great for after baby, too!

  • Look for jeans and pants that are boot cut and have a darker wash. Avoid cropped or Capri pants which will shorten your legs. The underbelly cut will be the most flattering to your shape.
  • Wear dresses with an eye-catching neckline (draws the eye up) and an empire waist. Dresses and A-line skirts are a great way to camouflage your lower half.
  • Speaking of necklines, find shirts with a boat neck or V-neck neckline to give you balance.
  • Use color to your advantage: wear dark colors on the bottom and lighter colors on top.

    Not sure where to start? Isabella Oliver has a whole section just for you precious pears. Pictured is the Hipster Trousers ($99) paired with a white cami.
