"Pear shaped" is useless advice

You've been dressing for a category that doesn't fit you

Hi ,


You've been told you're a pear. Or an hourglass. Or a rectangle.


And then given a list of rules based on that category.


Wear this. Avoid that. Balance here. Minimise there.


The problem is that those categories were designed for simplicity, not accuracy.


Your body isn't a shape. It's a set of specific proportions:



Two women can both be "pears" and look completely different in the same outfit because their proportions aren't actually the same.


The category gives you a starting point. It doesn't give you the answer.


Your answer lives in the details, in understanding your specific measurements relative to each other, not relative to an ideal shape.


That's when dressing stops being guesswork.


Reply "PROPORTIONS" and I'll explain how this works in practice.


To your best image.
