Do you feel as though you have a pear shaped body and cannot find a flattering style of a knit sweater that will fit your needs? Well you are in luck. Just because you feel slightly odd about your body shape, there is indeed nothing wrong with it and many sweater styles can look great on your form, especially your hip area. These sweater styles will get you out of your gloomy stage.

Empire waist knits 

Of course there aren’t many very warm styles of this variant but there are some long sleeved empire waist knits that take the form of a sweater. An empire waist line gives you a bit more up there, than down there, it will take away the sights from your hips and cater more towards the mid section of your body. This is a wonderful mirage especially if you feel uncomfortable with your body type! You can also wear them in a variety of colors, you can even go the extra mile and pick a color you wouldn’t normally wear! The attention is all on the sweater, not your body type.

Striped style sweaters 

Maybe you aren’t the kind of girl to wear horizontal stripes but maybe now is the time! These kind of stripes suit the body well and they divagate away from the shape of you. This is especially helpful and you can find many eye pleasing styles that will suit your own trend. The longer sweater styles help out here as well and look much better than having a shorter style at the top of your hips. Aim for a tunic style sweater.

Boat neckline style 

This can be quite classic and elegant and look beautiful with a choker of some sort, this is good for you because yet again it does not attract the attention of your hips, but instead your neckline and shoulders. A simple black design is a good look to aim for, nice and sleek and gives attention to your neck area. Boat line sweaters are probably the best form of sweater for any woman who has a pear shape!

Scoop neck sweaters 

Just the same as the boat neck, these gives more attention to your neck and chest area, top it with a necklace for a more grandiose look and feel. It widens the appearance of your shoulder area giving the right touch to balance out your body seamlessly.

Do not fret about your body shape! There are so many sweater styles just right for you!
