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. 😊

I still don’t quite understand What would you call a 33-26-36.5/37? A pear?

@JOJO-ug9ei

10 ай бұрын

@@Siriusly10I think it’s more about where the shoulder line sits. If the hips and shoulders line up, then strictly speaking it’s not a pear shape. However, having a smaller diaphragm circumference makes us look pear-shaped rather than hour-glass. This is my body type - if I put shoulder pads in, it still looks wrong as my hips and shoulders are balanced yet the curviness of my hips and my smaller diaphragm need balancing. I find jackets and cardigans particularly difficult to get right. I’ve realized that what I am striving for is an hourglass shape, so it’s all about creating that balance. So I look for clothes that don’t emphasize the hips and that make my weedy diaphragm look larger, e.g. with ruffled tops etc.

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!

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!! ❤❤

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.

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 KZread 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 ❤️

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.

Your tips over the last two years have changed my life. Thank you!

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!

I’m the same body type but not petite and I have always thought leggings do not flatter me! I find your videos so useful bc they help me understand why that is! Can you do a video on what work out/ leisure wear clothes work for fuller hips/ pear shape?

As someone with this body type and struggling to feel good in jeans, I now realized why! I never paid attention to the straight lines around the hips, it makes so much sense. Thanks a lot for all the tips!

Always great info ! I was a stylist and you are so spot on usually! Love your advice to those that struggle with fashion and trends.

Me, who has heavy thighs, really needed this video. Thanks a lot, Bethany ❤️

I have wide hips but I actually love them. I love making them stand out so I wasn't sure if I'd relate with this video but it still had a lot of good inspo. I love your style, it looks very comfy but yet feminine

short, sweet and on point! thanks for the video, it really summs up important things.

Having muscular legs this tips make clothes so much more comfortable! I found myself wearing my shorts like you show on this video and I found it not only flattering but so comfortable since you have the extra fabric that makes easier to move in! I think the classic A line can apply to all kinds of clothing not only dresses and see it clearly on shorts on this video 👌

I’m a fellow small waist and larger hip girl. I find emphasising the shoulders and feet gives a slimmer mid line of your body in between. A puff sleeve top with extra material at the shoulder makes my waist look tiny, hips look slimmer and then a chunkier shoe also diverts the gaze away from the thighs and calves and gives an overall impression of long and lean between the legs and chest.

This advice is exactly what i needed! So stylish and comfortable. Thank you so much❤

I’m so glad this was recommended! Very helpful tips actually ❤️!

Thanks for sharing Bethany. Prayed for you and Zack this evening.

I love this video! My body shape is just like yours. Thank you for summarize all this tips 🤩

I have a very similar body type. I’m not an expert stylist but I always wear high waisted jeans & noticed in photos skinny jeans don’t look too flattering at all. This video simplified and gave me the clarity I needed. Thank you!

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'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.

I already took your course and love it! Thanks so much for these tips!❤

Omg I love you, I have been looking for something like this for years!!! This is exactly my body type and was so confused on how to handle my hips with clothing. Thank you!

Finally someone who addresses body shapes with heavier bum thigh areas. I found this soooo helpful.

I LOVE this video!! It's so helpful! I was inspired by your previous version of this video to make my own, and we both agree that whiskered denim is unflattering. I have a similar body type as you, and I love learning how styling tips to look my best. Thank you, Bethany! :)

Thank you for these tips!!! Extremely helpful ❤❤❤

I have a body type with heavy hips, I pretty much struggle every day because I like to dress up. I swear this video is made for me, lol! Thank you @dearlyBethany

I have wider hip area and smaller waist. I learnt with trial and error that tucking in the top/shirt is the best option for me as a 5-5.1” I wear almost every garment of my personal taste: crop tops, long tops by tucking in, high waste pants/jeans, bell bottoms, shorts which are not skin fit. I have been complimented by many people for having a good sense of fashion (not complimenting myself 😂 but people like my style and I like it myself too). I think the best tip is tucking in and wearing high waist jeans. It just gives a smart and sharp look to anyone, short or tall, skinny or curvy. Thank you for the lovely tips ❤

This is a very helpful video, thank you for making it. I have a similar body type and have found it hard to dress it at times over the years. Tips like the ones you have included in this video makes it easier.

You’re so perfect! I love your proportions and you dress so well. And so beautiful too. Keep up the great work. Even if I’m 60 I love watching your videos! A lot of your tips are applicable even for my age bracket. More power to you❤

Gal, I love these tips! I'm excited to shop for bottoms using your guide in terms of allowing drapes and opting for high-waisted pants.

Thank you, Bethany! You always helped me embrace my body shape seeing a similar body shape to me and dress the style I am also leaning onto. :)

Thanks for these tips. I didn’t know about paying attention to whiskering and fading of jeans. I knew about keeping things visually going up.

You are my body twin and my style guru.

Amazing video! Only useful information with great tips and examples. I usually don’t like fashion videos much because they contain too much extra info that’s not applicable for a usual person. But this video changed my mind, I’ll definitely watch more from your channel. Thank you so much for all the work🙏

Great tips Bethany!! I have very wide hips and am always struggling with clothes. Especially jeans fitting me right. I always get excited to see a new video from you. I have just enrolled in your masterclass, i am so happy for this investment in myself💕! I have been waiting to join for so long☺️!!

This video was an absolute godsend to me - I am the same shape as you and I find my hips can look big if I wear the wrong things. You don't need to worry by the way, you look fantastic.

Wow she just confirmed all the things I struggled with since I was a young teen. Im 26 now. By trial and error I know my fit. I feel like my mom never understood what I was trying to point out. Like the hip length jackets! Omg I hated them for some reason, how they look on my body obviously. Glad to have stumbled upon this video. Thank you!

So happy I came across this video. Really helped a lot with shopping for more pear shape body flattering pieces.

My favorite KZreadr came up on my recommended after so long 👌🏽

most of the time I try to balance my wide hips with my shoulders by following this rule . but some times I just like to celebrate my curves with some confidant we can do it

Omg I love love love your style SO much!! Thank you for your everything! ❤️

I see how certain types of clothes, colours,shapes etc can make someone's figure look more 'balanced' if that's the phrase to use. In my opinion your body shape is stunning and looks absolutely beautiful.

Wide hips and smaller waist is such an harmonious shape (and biological desirable), so I would love tips on how to emphasize them actually ❤ let’s celebrate our natural shape instead of hiding it.

Thank you Bethany for this. Very helpful tips. : )

I think I have the same body type, but I actually really like that my hips are wide. I used to only wear dark wash skinny jeans, but now I actually wear a lot of high-waisted, light wash jeans that are wide-legged, bootcut, or baggy with fun patterns and designs, and I love it. I feel like having the high-waist pants that are tight around my hips but loose as it gets lower accentuates my hips as I wear a tighter or more cropped top. Since I grew up with curvy being what is in style (particularly influenced by Kim Kardashian prime era and the fact that I'm the only thin woman in my family) I actually like to lean into the one way I could be considered curvy.

Okay i understand different people have different insecurities but girlss wide hips are soo pretty ( coming from another girl ) . For me my curves make me look so much better i know not everyone will feel like this , but i'm encouraging YOU to look at your wonderfull body and say : I'm beautiful I'm pretty I'm feminine My body can do and is doing amazing things My body is created to do amazing things And last but not least I'm wonderfully made God bless you all 💐 P.S I'm not hating at the video creator or the video idea i'm just giving my own opinion From a 5'0 curvy person who gained 30 lbs in a year and still calls herself beautiful and worthy , as you should queen !

It's an odd thing. I thank you for your candor; it seems that there is much healing that has to take place sometimes before we can look at ourselves with enough Grace to even begin to dress ourselves well. When I was first married, I had your exact measurements at 5'1". I had such terrible insecurity about my petite frame. Blessed with a large family, I saw my body do amazing things and bring wonderful children into the world. And it is only now, at the age of 40 and many many inches away from the original set of measurements, that I am beginning to look at myself as Worthy of being beautiful and taking time to dress myself in a way that is flattering. Even with a supportive partner who could never understand why I felt the way I did about my appearance, it can be a tremendous effort to overcome the negative self-talk and body image issues that creep in from the influence of childhood trauma or just our culture in general and poison the way we perceive ourselves.

Lol this explains why I love crop tops or very long jackets. great video!

This works so well for me as I have the same body type. I love your outfits!

Very helpful tips. Thank you! So glad that skinny jeans and low waist bottoms aren't so trendy anymore.
