If it looks amazing hanging dead on the hanger then it's probably meant for a stick figure.

Captain Mal inspiration set for "Y" shapes by stevie-sm-williams featuring strappy platform heels

Skinny jeans are always perfect when you want to wear knee high boots. Those of us without hips need to stick to the pants with the higher waistbands when it comes to skinny jeans, that way the pants don't fall down and they don't give you muffin top. Wearing a sheer over sized shirt can be flattering on the right body type, those of us with wider shoulders pull it off well so long as we have cami's underneath, nothing with a wide band because it will make your shoulders look wider. Careful with back pockets as well, if they are huge they just make it more noticeable that you don't have much of a butt.

Make sure all coats have a princess seam! I cannot stress this enough, especially with winter coats. Heavy coats can look heavy and make YOU look shapeless, but they don't have to.

Captain Mal Inspiration for "Pear" Shape by stevie-sm-williams featuring lipstick queen

I like to carry over certain aspects of an outfit when it's the same inspiration character. Some things are a bit harder to do though. Like pants. If you're gonna go skinny jeans on a Pear shape you need to make sure A- your waist band is high enough. 2 finger widths below the belly button ladies, not half a hair over the pelvis. You want to make sure it's not to snug over the butt or you'll have a split seam. B- it actually fits your hips and thighs. You have to try things on ladies! Skinny jeans can work for a pear shape so long as they are wearing high boots. Mid-calf to knee high can be very flattering. Belts are your friend, they make the waistband not roll.

I paired the pants with a loose V-neck button up, neatly cinched at the waist to give definition and make dainty shoulders a touch broader. Pair it with a Cami for modesty (especially in the workplace.) The bright color helps draw attention up to your face and the overall effect makes you look a bit more hourglass.

When looking for a winter coat remember that seams are your friend! If a longer coat looks like it has a bit of a skirt thing going on? That means it's going to fall around your hips in a flattering way and keep you looking slender. Princess seams are your friends!
