Actors Salma Hayek and Sonam Kapoor are known for their sense of style and confidence

Actors Salma Hayek and Sonam Kapoor are known for their sense of style and confidence; both the women are also known for their distinct derrieres. In other words, their pear shape.. It’s a body shape category into which many of us fall, and we’ve come to the happy conclusion that if you have it – flaunt it.  Still not convinced?  Tackle the “problem areas” with these easy tips 

The Dress: Don’t be hung up on body con dresses. Select from the many empire waisted dresses on offer – they will accentuate your torso while camouflaging the hips. We think the faux pearl dress by Miu Miu is ideal for a corporate dinner, while the planet lace dress by French connection is perfect for drinks with the girls.

The Separates: A quick way to look more balanced is to layer over your torso. Cardigans, scarves and light cover-ups are ideal if you are bottom heavy and opt for tops with details such as this striped top by DKNY paired with the ruffle cardigan by Alexander McQueen. Alternatively you can pair straight leg trousers with fitted tops for a leaner look.

The Accessories: While you might be tempted to stick to comfortable flats, high heels have the additional payoff of making your behind look more shapely. We love the ‘Bevv’ pumps by Steve Madden for walking tall at a party. While chunky necklaces are ideal to highlight your lean upper half, swap them with printed scarves for a relaxed look. source team vogue india
