As an hourglass / pear shape woman, here are my tips to help even out my proportions by emphasizing areas I love and de-emphasizing areas I want to fade into the background.

5 Things To AVOID if you have Wide Hips & Thighs (Like Me)

1: Avoid Jeans that have a Light Wash or Heavy Whiskering
2: Avoid Hip-length Tops & Jackets
3: Avoid LOUD Bottoms
4: Avoid Skirts and Pants with a Low Waist
5: Avoid Tight Bottoms

    As someone with this body type, I’ve also found personally that using chunkier style shoes (rather than very petite and tiny style shoes) actually makes my thighs look more in proportion. In a way I suppose I de-emphasise my wide hips by adding more visual weight at the bottom (wide leg pants and chunky shoes.) the chunky shoes also work well if you do want to wear things like skinny jeans. 😊
  • @lavaklava
    Is it only me who thinks that her body looks perfect? She can wear literally anything
  • @Nadine-xb4oj
    This is the video I was searching for my whole life, literally never found a way to categorize my body shape but the in-between hourglass/pear makes totally sense.
  • As someone with very curvy hips I’ve finally realized that flared jeans suit me best and even out my proportions
  • I'm a petite hourglass and I agree with everything but the pencil skirt! That is one of my best looks !
  • Your shape is fabulous and I find I like the way your clothes look on you better than the model they show in their adds. Which I now realize is due to your clever evaluation of what looks good on you.
  • @Mirabel06
    I'm so happy that nowadays regular and high rise jeans are available in stores. I was a teenager during the noughties and during that time you only had low rise jeans which didn't suit me at all.
  • @soonsims
    I have the same body type, I would say it's hourglass don't think it's pear because the shoulders (0:06) are even slightly broader than the hips. Pears have small shoulders and very wide hips.
  • I don't really think these are wide hips 😄 I have them and they're truly Wide 🙈
  • As a person who doesn't know much about fashion and continuously hating herself for not being good with any outfit, all I can say is that you channel is such a blessing to me. Thank you so much 💗💗 you're so majestic btw
  • This video is just what I needed! I am not petite but have struggled for years to find what outfits work best for me- I fall somewhere between hourglass and spoon and it's a challenge! This video clarifies so much, and your style is impeccable. Thank you!
  • I have a pear body shape.. I'm 💯 agree with all your wonderful suggestions. It is so helpful to know how to dress your shape, feeling empowered and confident!
  • @joyzjazzy
    Beauty standards really are different, here in Africa, the thicker the woman , the better, so I’m here looking at you like “ but you’re so slim”
  • Love this! I started watching you because our shapes are so similar and it’s been an amazing help! You explain everything so eloquently! Thank you for your content!
  • These videos are so comprehensive and helpful bethany I can always have these tips when I'm shopping and that helps a lot with my confidence now ❤️
  • @aperson3959
    As someone with the same measurements as you, I will be using the opposite advice because I love emphasizing my hips, HOWEVER, for those who do not want to do that, you explained wonderfully in this video!! ❤❤
  • Thankyou for being so transparent and helping us all, with similar bodies to dress well and look balanced in our clothes. Feeling more confident with our choices of what to wear and why.
  • @chel_g
    Hello Bethany! Silent follower here ☺️ Stumbled on your “how to look taller” video few years back and I have to say, you have completely given me a new form of confidence & joy in wearing clothes. I could never figured out why certain jeans and tops looked good and some didn’t. I also couldn’t find anyone on YouTube who share the same body type as me (long torso, shorter legs, pear-ish shaped). I’ve binged watched your videos and I have to say, you have changed my wardrobe for the better! 🥹 You didn’t just share tips and tricks, you gave me confidence & knowledge. I am more comfortable with myself and the clothes I choose and wear. I’d like to say a huge THANK YOU for giving me that and EMPOWERING people to look and feel their best. ❤️ You have such talent and finesse in what you do that I’ve recommended you to all my friends to watch & follow you. Xoxo- rachel ❤️
  • My body shape is the same as yours and although i had to figure out these tips/ways by myself (before i found you), its now still nice to hear it again :) i hope this video reaches all the people who struggle with the 'right' way to dress for there body type!
