What are female figures. Training for the pear figure

Basic body types (ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph) are also relevant for girls. In view of the fact that, anatomically, the forms of female figures are much more diverse, additional clarification is required in the question of the physique of girls.

Of course, somatotype The constitutional body type of a person and the program of his future physical development. it is genetically predetermined in the first place, and it is impossible to influence it, but changing your lifestyle, which significantly affects complexion, is quite achievable.

Female types of figures

Before starting their cultivation, to determine the features that are the most difficult to correct, girls should find out the answer to the question: “What is my type of figure?”

We make three measurements:

Breast volume: over the usual bra without push-up, at the most prominent point, holding a centimeter parallel to the floor.
Waist: on the narrowest part of the body (just above the navel), without pulling in and not protruding the stomach.
Hips: on the widest part of the hips, holding the tape parallel to the floor.

We evaluate the results:

Shape Type - Pear (Triangle)

The main characteristic features of this type of figure are rather wide hips with relatively narrow shoulders. Such women are prone to fullness in the hips and buttocks.

When replenishing, fat is deposited in them in these zones. Sometimes you can see a woman with a graceful, even fragile, top, and a very massive bottom. The waist can be very pretty.

The upper body is longer than the bottom.
In most cases, the lower limbs are broad-boned, and the upper ones are narrow-boned.
The waist is narrow, sometimes too low.
A pronounced waist is maintained in all circumstances.

Training

Girls with this type of figure often have problems with cellulite. In training, it is important to put a load on the top: to work out the back, shoulders, chest.

Comprehensive training for the legs, as well as isolated for “drying” the hips, is very important. Circular intensive classes or supersets will be effective. It is necessary to train the top and bottom on different days.

Exercises:

lunges (it is possible - with weighting)
leg breeding in the simulator
bounce squats

Tendency to corpulence.
The stomach usually comes forward.
Muscular relief is strong with reduced weight.

Training

For this samatotype of girls, emphasis should be placed on the legs, because of the imperfect waist, which they always risk losing.

It is important for them to perform static exercises aimed at working out the slow muscle fibers of the press, for example: the lateral and straight bar, during which not only the press is tightened well, but the lower floating ribs are also reduced in volume.

The training plan should be focused on building up total muscle mass, that is, working out the top and bottom to the same extent.

Exercises:

stepper

Shape Type - Hourglass (X or 8-Eight)

It is considered a classic female physique.
The lower and upper torso are proportional relative to each other.
The waist is very narrow.

Training

Girls with such a figure can build their training process in a variety of ways, since the main thing for them is to maintain muscle tone.

Experiments with weights and types of training are allowed, so as not to allow fat to be postponed. The main goal of training is to strengthen the muscles of the body to maintain proportions, both strength and cardio workouts are important. For this, group aerobic activities (aerobics, sports dancing and many others) are perfect.

It is also necessary to include various exercises for the development of the muscles of the abs and legs. This will create the necessary balance between the upper and lower body.

Exercises:

burry with jumping
leg presses
tabata
squats

Even with all of the above, it may not be so easy to determine your somatotype.

And so, a clear plan has been drawn up, problem areas for grinding have been identified. Do not rush to start strength training, for a start, tune in psychologically, give the body time to adapt to physical activity.

Excessive enthusiasm, especially at first, is more likely to have a negative impact. The most important rule for beginners: try to go towards the goal in stages.

Hello everyone! Any woman, sooner or later, will begin to see the flaws in herself. Someone notices that she has added several kilograms and the reflection in the mirror is not at all pleasing; for someone, changes in the figure have occurred due to childbirth. With age, the body also changes, it is increasingly difficult to maintain a thin waist, legs and arms begin to grow fat and add in volume. It is inevitable that no matter how you go in for sports, you will not be able to save the figure of an 18 year old girl.

Others, despite the shortcomings, do not even want to go to the gym and diet. This is everyone’s business. Perhaps such women feel quite attractive and sexually just at that weight. But the problem of many is that they can’t pick up clothes that emphasize their strengths and tear down their flaws as much as possible.

After all, clothing that suits you can solve a huge number of problems. If you have full hands, then a certain style of blouse will hide it, and if you need to focus on slim legs or highlight a thin waist, then this is also quite easy to do thanks to your clothes that are tailored specifically to your individual type of figure.

For me personally, this task was difficult, I read many articles and could not determine my type of figure until I came across a book with a detailed and step-by-step method. Now I will tell you about this method, perhaps it will help you.

Determining your body type is the first step in organizing your wardrobe. How competently you do this will determine whether your clothes will suit you and how you will look in general. The main task of your wardrobe is to visually remove the imperfections and highlight, emphasize all your advantages. So let's start now!

How to determine the type of figure

Today, stylists and designers distinguish 5 types of figures:

circle, it is also called the "apple"
a triangle, that is, a “pear”
inverted triangle - male type
hourglass - the most feminine
rectangle

To look beautiful and attractive, you need to know your type of figure and make a wardrobe so that things suit you, creating the perfect silhouette. In addition, the color of the things you have chosen is far from important, but we will talk about this in the following articles.

So, to get started, take off all heavy clothing and put on either underwear or a tight-fitting thing.
Stand in front of the mirror. Lighting should be bright enough. Twilight can hide some nuances.
Take a close look at yourself and your figure. Do not embellish the truth, think objectively and soberly.
Select for yourself those zones that you would like to hide, and which ones to focus on, that is, highlight.
Take a measuring tape and measure 3 parameters: the volume of the chest, waist and hips. Write everything down on paper.

Remember that you must complete the last step correctly. So, the volume of the chest is measured along the most protruding line in front and behind. Waist volume can not be measured along the line where the belt of trousers and skirts, apply a centimeter tape on the thinnest part of the waist. Hips should also be measured over the widest part of the bottom and overhanging points. I did this: I measured it several times, changing the height, and chose the largest volume, it became a suitable measure for me.

By the standards of a female figure, the difference in centimeters between the chest and hips is about 8 centimeters and 27 centimeters between the waist and hips.

Now you know the parameters exactly and thanks to them and your observations in the reflection, you can determine your type of figure.

Type of shape “circle” or “apple”

In women, "apples" the waist and chest, it can be said, is equal. There may be differences, but not significant. And the shape of the figure resembles a circle. This type is especially noticeable in stout people. In a thin state, you might think that the body has a rectangular shape.

The large volumes created by the shoulders, chest and stomach actually make the silhouette look like an apple. Women get fat enough with sufficient ease, while their legs remain slim and beautiful. The neck becomes short, a second chin appears.

Most of the fair sex cannot imagine normal clothes because of the large protruding belly, jackets and suits simply look ridiculous. One can only hope for hoodies and knitted dresses that can stretch to the right size.

The advantage of the figure is the chest and legs, and they need to be emphasized and emphasized.

Choose clothes:

one that lengthens the figure visually, that is, visually
dresses, sweaters, blouses with a V-neck,
dresses sheaths without ruffles, dresses with a high waist,
skinny skirts knee-high or higher,
straight hips
long jewelry and beads,
shoes with high or medium heels.

It is forbidden to wear:

fine knitwear that fits the figure,
sweatshirts with a neck,
belts and straps.

Type of figure “triangle” or pear

It is quite difficult for such women to choose a dress and some types of trousers / jeans. Since their hips are wide, voluminous, and the waist is narrow. Narrow shoulders and a wide bottom with a pronounced waist visually resembles a pear. Hips of 2 or even 3 sizes may be larger than up.

It is believed that this is a purely female figure, which has long been said that a woman is prolific and able to give birth to many children. Her beautiful hands and neat chest characterize her. The waist is also quite narrow, but the bottom is bulky. Full hips and legs make a noticeable emphasis on themselves. Such people are especially prone to overweight and often suffer from.

Extra kilos, as luck would have it, tend to be deposited precisely on the waist, pope and hips. But the upper body remains almost the same.

A lot of women of this type of physique have complexes and are completely dissatisfied with their appearance. The big difference in volumes makes them very difficult to choose suits, for example trousers and a jacket, since the sizes of the top and bottom differ. Thus, you have to turn to seamstresses to adjust the clothes to fit the shape or sew things on order.

The main task of a woman with this type of figure is to emphasize beautiful hands, neat shoulders with a chest and hide rather full legs and hips. For this, it is best to choose clothes, given following criteria:

V-neck sweater,
top bright shades or with stripes across. Thus, visually the upper body will increase in volume,
to hide problem areas, it is better to choose dark shades of them, skirts - pencil and skinny or straight-cut trousers, as well as dresses with a high waist will look good (things will be suitable if they are without frills, bright provocative decorations and high-quality dense fabric),
perfectly adjust the proportions of scarves, voluminous jewelry around the neck, such as scarves and ruffles, it is preferable to buy shoes with heels.

Do not wear:

light hips
trousers and skirts, i.e. bottom with pockets,
wide belts and belts,
baggy t-shirts and sweatshirts
tight-fitting slim dresses.

Rectangle Shape Type

If your chest and hips are almost the same volume, and the waist is not pronounced and almost merges with the top and bottom, then most likely you are suitable for this type. The difference in centimeters between the hips and the waist will be no more than 22, or even less.

This type of figure is not bad. And a correctly selected wardrobe can emphasize any part of the figure, at the request of the woman.

Usually, the shoulders, arms and chest are small, not prominent, the hips without any roundness, the waist is not pronounced, the legs are slender.

When gaining weight, the waist, back and shoulders suffer most and the figure becomes like an “apple”. In most cases, a woman does not have problems with choosing clothes according to size.

Choose:

fitted jackets,
blouses, T-shirts and sweaters with oval and V-neck, collars,
straight cut or tight trousers,
tight-fitting tight skirts made of dense high-quality fabric,
dresses are strict and classic cut,
long accessories, such as scarves or beads,
bright decorations
shoes you can buy any comfortable for you, but only with thick heels.

clothes with ruffles and voluminous decorative elements,
wide skirts with elastic at the waist,
too tight things that emphasize the lack of a waist.

Inverted Rectangle Shape Type

Narrow hips and not quite pronounced waist with a sufficiently voluminous chest resembles a male figure. If the volume of the thigh is narrower than the chest, then you will fall into this category one hundred percent.

Today it is a symbol of sportiness and an active lifestyle. This type of figure is characterized by a wide top and a narrow bottom. The arms, chest and shoulders are full, the waist and hips are not pronounced, but the legs are a beautiful accent.

Such ladies will rise from above therefore, the more they are overweight, the more and more the figure takes on the shape of an inverted triangle.

Here, with the choice of clothes, the same problems arise as with the “triangle” type. The difference in the volume of the bottom and top does not allow you to purchase a full and well-fitting suit or dress.

The choice of clothing should aim to emphasize the beautiful long legs and hips and emphasize them, and hide the shoulders and arms a little, make them thinner.

Choose clothes:

with a V-neck, he visually extends the figure,
the top of calm, not catchy tones with a one-piece sleeve and simple cut,
hem with bright accents, pockets, print,
shoes with high or medium heels with a sharp or slightly blunt toe,
decorations with sharp corners and elements.

Do not wear:

sweatshirts with a smell, ruffles and bright decorative elements and shoulder pads,
voluminous accessories: scarves, scarves, jewelry.

Hourglass Shape Type

If the difference between the volume of the waist and hips is more than 23 centimeters, you have a chest and a butt of almost the same volume, you are the happy owner of the most feminine figure.

Women of this type of figure are sexy and attractive, feminine and can afford more than the rest, you can say, almost any outfit.

The silhouette of the figure is rounded and has distinct bends, beautiful shoulders, chest and hips. Even gaining extra pounds, the woman remains beautiful. But there are so-called problem areas, for example, “ears on the sides”.

The main task when choosing clothes is to emphasize the waistline and avoid increasing the disproportionate volume between the hips and chest.

You can wear:

clothes with various cuts: boat, round and V - shaped,
dresses wrap cases
straight and tight pants with a high waist,
clothes with decorative elements that emphasize or emphasize the waist line,
fitted jackets and cardigans,
skirts - pencil, a-line and a year,
wearing straps and belts is encouraged.

It is not advisable to wear:

too baggy or tight clothing
bulk accessories, such as scarves and stoles,
too wide belts and belts.

A little bit about the figure

Most women do not even think about how to correctly determine the type of figure in order to present themselves in a winning light in any society. It seems to the ladies that in order to achieve the ideal, you need to lose weight, play sports and undergo a number of procedures in a beauty salon. However, as a result, a bought “like a girlfriend” blouse may not sit quite so well, and a skirt that was so gorgeous on a mannequin will completely disfigure the figure. And at such moments, despair can seize the woman, she ceases to believe in herself, her attractiveness, and even refuses to go shopping in search of a suitable new thing, making sure that nothing is sewn for her. But each representative of the fair sex has its own beauty, bright personality and a set of advantages that must be emphasized primarily with the help of clothes.

Based on the foregoing, how to correctly determine the type of figure, women should know from a very tender age. After all, one should not strive for certain ideals imposed by society. Not always can they become your second "I" even in the case of a huge amount of effort.

Therefore, in the following sections of the article we will consider in detail the types of female figure: how to determine the strengths and weaknesses, as well as select the most winning outfit for each type.

Is it worth striving for the ideal?

Almost every woman is convinced that the notorious 90-60-90 are ideal parameters for a figure. However, not everyone succeeds in reaching the cherished centimeters, and the point is not always in laziness or lack of zeal. It’s just that some ladies genetically have a constitution, which cannot be adjusted to standards by any diets and activities. And you should not do this, because they are so changeable.

For example, in ancient Greece, a woman of high stature, a thin physique without pronounced forms was considered beautiful. But representatives of the Renaissance, on the contrary, admired the magnificent female figures, as if shouting about fertility and prosperity. Over the twentieth century, ideals have changed more than once. Men stared at the beauties with a pronounced waist and lush hips, and then suddenly short girls with short haircuts, like teenagers, came into fashion. Today, too, the parameters of the ideal female figure are gradually changing, because women with pronounced hips and rounded buttocks flicker in all the clips and are printed on the covers of fashion magazines, overshadowing beauties from model catwalks.

Therefore, you should not follow the changing ideals, the main thing is to figure out how to determine the types of figures in women and learn how to use their advantages.

What is a shape type?

Before you determine the type of figure, you need to understand what exactly is included in this concept. First of all, it is necessary to have an idea that these parameters are genetically predetermined. Genetics affects the development of adipose, muscle and bone tissue. You can slightly correct your figure by way of life, but you won’t be able to completely change and adjust it to certain standards.

Body types

Some often confuse body types and body types, which is not worth doing, because these concepts are completely different. If we talk about body types, it is worth noting that they are distinguished by three:

Ectomorph. They are most often tall, stand out by thinness and unexpressed muscle mass.
Mesomorph. Athletes usually differ in this type. They have an initially proportional body with pronounced muscles. Mesomorphs boast great physical strength.
Endomorph. With this type of physique, people gain extra weight very quickly, without even abusing harmful products and lots of calories.

Experts say that each person combines at least two of the described types. Moreover, in ordinary life, such information is of little use. It is mainly used by athletes or bodybuilders who make up a training schedule based on their own physical characteristics. In other cases, men, how to determine absolutely do not think about what can not be said about the fair sex.

Why know your body type?

How to determine the type of figure and why do it? These questions are often asked by young girls who do not understand how to use their natural data. After all, it is precisely in adolescence that the fair sex is most critical of herself.

However, perfectly aware of your strengths and weaknesses, determined on the basis of typology, you can very advantageously select outfits and look simply excellent. Do not forget that in the future pregnancy will leave its imprint on the figure and in this case, knowing its type, you can easily hide some excess weight the first time after childbirth. And then get into shape faster, paying attention to your weak points.

Types of female figures: general description

Specialists have more than once developed various typologies of figures, however, the classic version always remains the most popular and widespread. Based on it, in the world there are five types of female figures, which include all the fair sex, without exception:

Hourglass. It is this type that today most closely matches the parameters ninety / sixty / ninety. Hourglass women have a narrow and pronounced waist, while the volume of the chest and hips is almost equal. Interestingly, even with weight gain, ladies of this type remain seductive, because it is distributed evenly throughout the body.
Rectangle. Such women possess, like their predecessors from the previous description, virtually identical thigh and chest size. However, their waist is barely noticeable and almost not expressed. When gaining excess weight, fat is localized on the waist, back and sides.
Pear. Experts say that this type of figure is found most often in the world. Women “pears” have pronounced hips, but the upper body is distinguished by narrow shoulders and small breasts. Excess weight always accumulates in the lower body.
Cone. Such women are distinguished by narrow hips, a thin waist and broad shoulders. In this case, the lady may have a lush bust or be upset by his absence, in any case, her shoulders will stand out quite relatively to the lower body.
Apple. There are a lot of such women, too, and they have very slender legs, and a pretty rounded belly. It is on it that excess weight accumulates in the event of its gain.

It is worth considering that women by nature belong to a certain type of figure and it is impossible to change it.

How to determine the types of figures in women?

Today, this issue is quite simple to solve, because on the Internet there are enough ways to find out your typology. For example, standing with your back to the Whatman paper, you can determine the type of figure with the help of a second person. If he gently traces your body along the contour, then in the schematic drawing you will clearly see what type you belong to.

Many online calculators on various sites offer to determine the type of figure on the wrist of a girl. However, experts are rather skeptical of this method, because so far nothing has been invented better or more accurately than an ordinary centimeter tape.

With its help, you can determine the type of figure by parameters. How to do this, we will tell a little later. And now we give only a general description of such measurements. For example, if, when comparing the width of the hips and shoulders, they were equal, then you can belong to the type of pear, hourglass or apple.

Those women whose hips are quite round are hourglass or pear. And if the sizes, for example, of a sweater and jeans differ in favor of the first, then your type is a cone or, as it is also called, an inverted triangle.

How to determine the type of shape by parameters?

If you seriously decide to find out your typology, then a centimeter tape and a mirror will help you. It’s better if you have another person with you who can help you place the tape correctly and correct it if necessary. So, how to determine the type of a woman’s figure by parameters? Let's get it together.

Any woman who is interested in how to determine the type of figure by size should make three important measurements of her body:

breast volume
waist;
hips.

The first measurement can be done on top of a bra, but without a push-up. The centimeter tape should keep parallel to the floor surface and pass along the most protruding points of the chest.

Waist volume is measured along a line located just above the navel. During measurements, do not retract the stomach and tighten the tape very tight. It should pass freely along the narrowest part of the body at the waist.

Hips are also measured at the most prominent points with a centimeter tape parallel to the floor.

All measurements made must be recorded on a piece of paper, so that in the future it is easier to focus on these numbers. How to determine the type of figure by centimeters? It is very simple, let's move on to the results.

You can relate to the type of hourglass if the hips and chest are approximately the same volume, and the waist is less than about thirty centimeters. In the case when the waist with the same identical indicators does not stand out too much, then we are talking about a rectangle. The size of the chest is much smaller than the volume of the hips with a beautiful and thin waist corresponds to the type of pear. A woman refers to a cone if the upper body produces the most significant result. You can talk about the apple when the girl’s stomach and chest are centimeter long, but her hips are the smallest of all, and her legs are slim.

Now that you know how to determine the type of a woman’s figure by parameters, you can proceed to a more detailed description of the listed types, as well as highlight their strengths and weaknesses.

Hourglass

Suppose you have an hourglass figure type (we’ve already described how to determine it). What does this mean and how to file yourself more advantageously?

Women of this type have a pronounced contrast between the waistline and hips. This ratio throughout the world is taken as an ideal, despite the real volumes of the fair sex. If you consider yourself to be of this type, then your main goal is not to spoil the natural data and strongly emphasize them with your clothes.

Any fitted silhouettes, belts, wrap clothing, and high-waisted trousers will suit you. Hourglass women are also free to wear elongated necklines. They are very suitable for them and emphasize the proportions of the figure.

When choosing clothes, you should be wary of baggy clothes that hide beautiful curves of the body. In this case, you will seem more complete. A similar effect is created by high-waisted dresses, a straight cut of clothes and low-cut jeans.

Rectangle

If you find out that you belong to this type of figure, then do not get upset. The rectangle looks no less feminine than the previous type. In addition, a similar figure is considered more athletic and athletic. It is easy to create an under-expressed waist with the help of various accessories, making the image more harmonious and bringing it closer to the ideal.

The main emphasis in this case always goes to the legs and waist, with this approach the visual effect will be simply stunning. Therefore, the rectangles should choose clothes of a fitted silhouette and supplement it with belts or belts in any quantity. If you like coats or jackets, then give preference to models with straight shoulders. They will look at you more advantageously.

Pants are better to choose a classic cut, they can be of normal length or to the ankle. Tight-fitting trousers are also shown to the rectangles. Good on a similar type of figure and dress without shoulders or on very thin straps.

But you need to avoid baggy models, straight silhouettes, turtlenecks and clothes with an open belly. If you have a toned figure, such things will not spoil your image, but also will not become its decoration.

Pear

Women of this type often exhaust themselves with physical exercises and diets to make their hips and buttocks slimmer. However, in most cases, this does not give the desired result, because the protruding lower body is a genetic predisposition. Therefore, women “pears” need to balance the top and bottom with the help of clothes, as well as draw attention to the thin neck, narrow shoulders and graceful hands.

To give yourself the most advantage, pears should give preference to blouses and sweaters in light shades, voluminous scarves, hats and caps, smooth lines of cut and soft fabrics. They really like clothes with false shoulders, trousers of dark colors and expanding to the bottom, as well as deep cuts or tops that open the shoulders. Of the models of skirts, you should choose a "pencil" or a trapeze.

Pears should avoid clothing with an abundance of decorative elements at the bottom, trousers or skirts with bright prints, a turtleneck and baggy outerwear almost to the floor.

Cone

Ladies of this type can be proud of long and slender legs, but they usually have a flat butt and a wide shoulder girdle. Some consider the cone to be a likeness of a male figure, but experts say that it can easily be turned into a feminine image with the help of clothes. The main purpose of the cone is the visual narrowing of the shoulder girdle and focusing on the waist. At the same time, you should not try to give volume to the hips, the bottom should not be expanded in any case.

In a casual wardrobe, you should include sports-style clothes, shirts, things from thick fabrics, vests. Everything that visually lengthens the figure works well. For these purposes, you can use deep cuts, ties, long jewelry and neckerchiefs, as well as loose long hair.

Also, women - “cones” need to choose a trapezoidal cut and Basques; pants with low rise look good on such women. It is necessary to refuse very short sleeves, thin straps on tops and sundresses, an abundance of flounces, lace and floral prints. It is worth avoiding everything that focuses on the upper body. This category includes large accessories, hats, snoods and too soft fabrics. Also, stylists advise to abandon the haircut. She will look ridiculous on a “cone” woman and will not decorate her.

Apple

Ladies of this type have an outstanding chest and volume at the waist, and the legs and buttocks most often remain slim even when gaining weight. Kilograms are laid on the waist and abdomen. Hands and neck are also often affected.

Women "apples" often try to bring themselves closer to the type of hourglass. However, this is impossible, because the main task in this case is to create the visual effect of the rectangle. You can do this with the right clothes. How to determine the type of shape of an apple, you already know, and now let's talk about creating the desired image.

It is worth considering that women of this type can be slim and full, and therefore the recommendations for them vary slightly. For example, slender women are shown an adjacent cut with an emphasis on the waist. But the puffs fit A-shaped silhouette. A deep neckline will also help to stretch a figure, especially if a woman has beautiful breasts.

When choosing plain clothes, you need to pay attention to vertical undercuts; flared trousers and clothes with lots of frills or other decorative details at the bottom work well.

Some stylists advise careful attention to accent details. Moderation is good for apples — they can pay attention either to the upper body or to the lower.

In clothes, tight-fitting and baggy things, bright prints tucked into trousers or skirts of blouses, as well as large belts and belts should be avoided. Do not decorate the apple and cropped jackets, tops or sweaters. They add extra volume to the waist as well as the high waist line in dresses.

We think that now you will not be bothered by the question of how to determine the type of figure and how to live with it. After all, all the disadvantages can always be turned into advantages and look in the next outfit like a real Hollywood star.

Halle Berry

Hourglass figure - This is the only type who is "allowed" almost any clothing. However, in this case, stylists advise to abandon:

baggy and shapeless clothes;
too tight-fitting clothing;
too tight trousers and jeans;
too pronounced and clear prints (strip, cage, geometric ornament);
boat neckline (only if you have a small chest);
heavy and dense tissues (they will plump).

Pear (Figure A)

A “pear” is a type of figure that has a greater width of hips compared to shoulders. If the "hourglass" top and bottom are balanced, then the "pear" bottom is always much wider. The top is usually more elegant than the bottom. The waist is narrow, pronounced, sometimes underestimated due to the fact that the body of the "pear" is longer than the legs.

If the female "pear" is getting fat, then the fat is deposited mainly on the buttocks, hips and sides. The more weight, the greater the difference between the hips and shoulders. If, on the contrary, the “pear” woman is losing weight, her figure becomes more proportional. A huge role for women with this type of figure plays posture. A woman must constantly keep her back straight, otherwise a stoop will emphasize all the flaws of the figure.

You are a woman with a pear shape if:

hips wider than shoulders;
more fat on the sides than on the waist;
the hips are curved and the stomach is flat;
compared to the hips you have a small chest;
you have narrow shoulders and a thin neck;
gaining weight, gain weight, usually in the buttocks and thighs, shoulders and face remain the same.

Every woman wants to look spectacular in any clothes. But you can easily do this if you know the structural features of your body and be able to choose a “wrapper” for them. Female figures conventionally divided into five types. Each of them is determined by three main elements: volumes of the chest, waist, hips. Depending on the larger or smaller size of one or two of these parts of the body, the type is determined.
“X” is an hourglass,
“A” is a pear,
"V" is an inverted triangle,
"N" is a rectangle
"O" is an apple

Figure "X" - hourglass
Such a figure is considered ideal. This type refers to women with the same volume of the chest and hips, with a well-defined waist line. Even if the owner of the “X” figure gains excess weight, her figure will still look harmonious. (Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Monica Bellucci).

Clothing by the type of figure "hourglass" can be almost any, with the exception of one that hides its merits.

A women’s wardrobe may include:

straight jeans and pants with a belt;
skirts with a belt and high waist;
sweaters, blouses and dresses with a V-neck that emphasizes elegant clavicles;
a-line skirts that emphasize the natural beauty of the hips
wrap dresses and sheath dresses;
a narrow belt that visually makes the waist even more pronounced and thin;
wide belts that add an image of sexuality;
strict blouses, where a pair of top buttons are unfastened.

Type A Shape - Pear or Triangle
The figure of women of this type resembles a pear (Jennifer Lopez, Holly Berry). Women-pears have a light top and a heavy bottom: thin waist, small chest, narrow shoulders, wide hips. Fat accumulation occurs in the buttocks and thighs. The advantages of the figure are a slender waist and neat chest, the disadvantages are a heavy ass and, as a rule, full legs. Women-pears with their figure are most often unhappy: there is a noticeable imbalance in the upper and lower body, and it is difficult for such women to choose clothes of a certain size: they have to buy blouses one size (or even two!) Less than trousers and skirts, and with dresses are generally insoluble difficulties.
However, it was such a female body that was and remains seductive for men (and this is a huge plus). This type of figure is considered very feminine, and if a woman maintains her form, then for many years she remains attractive.
The disadvantages of this type of female figure can be tried to correct with the help of clothes. When choosing clothes, "pears" must give preference to models that visually increase the chest and shoulder width, emphasizing the waist and concealing a heavy lower body.

Wardrobe corresponding to the type of figure “A”:

V-shaped, as well as diagonal deep cuts on sweaters and dresses;
blouses and sweaters with wide or transverse stripes that visually enlarge the chest area;
a pencil skirt made of thick fabric, which will make the shape slimmer and narrow the figure;
dark tones underneath clothes, tight, straight or flared trousers from knees;
dresses with a slightly high waist or frill under the chest;
top with voluminous sleeves;
scarves and brooches in the neck, ruffles and shuttlecocks on the chest, which emphasize the dignity of the figure;
shoes with high steady heels and slightly pointed capes.

Shape Type V or Inverted Triangle or T
A problematic figure for women (Anastasia Volochkova, Angelina Jolie). Ladies with this type of figure are distinguished by an athletic physique, have broad shoulders and narrow hips, a weakly expressed waist. The length of the upper body may be slightly shorter than the lower, which, incidentally, is often found in athletes. The disadvantage is a masculine silhouette, virtues are slender legs. If ladies of this type gain weight, fat deposits appear in the upper body - on the arms, waist, shoulders and abdomen.

Women with this type of figure need to choose clothes that emphasize perfect legs and hide the massive upper part:

blouses with a V-shaped or with a deep oval neckline (possible in a vertical strip) will visually make the shoulders narrower;
if possible, the lower part of the clothing should be tight-fitting, but not narrowed to the bottom;
the bottom of the clothes is light, the top is dark;
accessories with angular shapes, including earrings, bracelets and shoes;
volumetric sleeves, excess volume in the shoulders should be avoided;
jackets fit slightly on the waist and tops with straps located close to the neck;
flared from the hip, wide, with patch pockets and décor in the hips, trousers with a slightly lowered waist.

Shape Type “H” or Rectangle
Not an ideal, but quite harmless option (Keira Knightley, Madonna, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, Nicole Kidman and Sigourney Weaver, Demi Moore) .He distinguishing feature is almost the same width of the shoulders, hips and waist, so the figure acquires a rectangular appearance, and they often call it “banana” or “pod”. Advantages - proportionality, lack - lack of a waist, courageous silhouette. The main problem with a banana-like figure is the wide waist and protruding belly. In choosing clothes for this type of figure, you must be extremely careful.

Banana women are suitable:

coarse, massive fabrics with fuzzy geometric patterns that “shape” the waist;
cuts oval or square on blouses;
short or missing sleeve;
asymmetry is the best assistant in the correction of this type of figure, so you need to prefer the slanting edge of dresses, skirts or blouses;
different cut sleeves and a combination of different fabrics and colors will help to correctly place accents;
the beautiful chest and slender legs of the high-waisted dress, as well as a sheath dress, are emphasized.

Type of shape “O” or Apple
The type of figure “O” really resembles an apple or a peach (Liv Tyler, Kate Winslet) and is typical for full-bodied women. The peculiarity of the figure is the same waist and chest volume, which makes the body rounded. The advantage is slender legs, magnificent breasts, the disadvantage is a wide waist and a noticeable tummy. But, interestingly, almost any woman during pregnancy can feel an “apple”. An easily growing belly is the main problem of women apples, although fat women with such a figure swim in the shoulders and back, grow a double and triple chin, but their arms, legs and hips remain thin.
Therefore, the main task of skillfully selected clothes is to emphasize slender legs and hide the massive top:

sheath dresses and dresses with high waist (under the chest);
tunic tops and vests, jackets and blouses with straight sleeves;
flared skirts to the knee length;
high-waisted trousers, slightly shortened or slightly narrowed;
high-heeled shoes.
