A well-known example of a pear shaped body is Kim Kardashian, if you're in the same boat, you want to focus on your upper half to minimize your lower half.
- Avoid cargo pants or print skirts that draw attention to the hips.
- Try a-line skirts, to camouflage wider hips.
- Balance the hips with wide hems in pants and skirts.
- Contrast light colored tops with dark, slimming bottoms.
- Show off your arms and even out proportions with strapless tops.
If you're like Audrina Patridge, and have a wedge shaped body, draw attention downward to your waist and hips where you're the most narrow.
- Bright colors on bottom.
- Wide-leg pants or full skirts.
- Avoid spaghetti strap tops.

- Look for clothes that accentuate your waist.
Natalie Portman has a rectangle shaped body, so it's important to try and create curves that don't actually exist.
- Create a lean look with long jackets.
- Details like ruffles and collars flatter the chest area.

- V-neck tops to make the torso look longer.
- Belts at the smallest part of the waist.
- Empire tops and dresses conceal a larger tummy area.
- Boot cut or flared jeans create and even line from the waist down.
