So you have the infamous pear shaped figure welcome to the club it's the most common female body shape around the world.

The trick is to wear clothes to balance you out - wear flared and bootcut trousers. Flares are great because they also replicate the inverted triangle below the hips, balancing out your top half and making your legs look long and lean. Stick to bold colours, embrace the A-line and remember patterned designs will only exaggerate your size.

Wear leggings or skinny jeans. If trousers that are tapered at the bottom are a bad choice for you, then how bad are the ones that are clingy all the way down going to be?
