Looking for outfits for pear shaped women that give you more options than the same jeans and tee? Think burgundy trousers, pretty statement sleeves and dresses with a defined waist.
These ideas include everyday combinations, dressier looks and a swimwear option too.
You can keep things simple or try something a little different. If you’re searching for women pear shape styling tips, start with details you actually love rather than rules about what to hide.
There’s plenty here to try with pieces you already own.
Outfit ideas worth saving
burgundy trousers and a matching cap
We’re starting off strong with these gorgeous burgundy wide-leg trousers. I love how the cap and bag match, with a white cropped top and open gray cardigan keeping the rest simple.
Try white sneakers like the ones peeking out here. Add a chunky pendant necklace if you want that extra little detail.
polka dots and a beige cardigan
How cute is this brown polka-dot skirt? The cropped beige cardigan and tan ankle-strap heels look so pretty beside it.
Follow the collage with a brown shoulder bag and gold-tone hoops. That little brown hair bow is worth adding too if you love matching accessories.
one bare shoulder and flared sleeves
I am obsessed with the sleeves on this brown top. The wide cuffs and slanted neckline give you plenty of detail without adding a jacket or lots of jewelry.
Pair a similar top with blue jeans. Keep the necklace small if you want to follow this look.
blue dress with a tied waist
If you are looking for a dress with a little movement in the skirt, this one is for you. The blue wrap-style front has a ruffled edge, flutter sleeves and a tie at the waist.
The pocket is a lovely extra detail. I’d keep the accessories simple with small hoops and a pendant like these.
white blouse and dark flares
This white blouse may just be one of my favorites here. I love the full sleeves with the dark flared jeans and pointed beige shoes.
Try tucking the blouse into your waistband to show the top of your jeans. You don’t need much else beyond sunglasses and a bracelet.
tan jacket and brown accessories
Don’t want to go all out with bright colors? No problem! Try a tan button-front jacket over a dark brown top with blue jeans.

The brown belt and large bag are so pretty together. Leave the jacket open if you want to show the same little tuck at the waist.
cropped navy jacket and beige pants
This is such a cute way to wear navy and beige. The short jacket sits over a navy top, with ankle-length pleated trousers underneath.
I especially love the patterned pointed shoes. Choose a beige tote and a small gold-tone belt detail to follow the rest of the outfit.
cream top and wide-leg jeans
If you’re looking for an outfit that doesn’t need lots of layers, go with this cream long-sleeve top and dark wide-leg jeans. The brown belt, shoulder bag and pointed boots bring it all together.
black top and pale blue jeans
I love this fitted black top with the pale blue wide-leg jeans. The little gathers at the waist are a pretty detail on an otherwise simple top.
Those red pointed shoes are worth noticing too! Try a similar pair if you want a little color beneath the long hems.
rust dress with little buttons
How gorgeous is this rust-colored dress? The shaped neckline, row of small buttons and full skirt are so pretty together.
The outfit pairs it with brown heels and a little dark handbag. I’d keep that same simple combination rather than add a big necklace.
brown blazer and a blue shirt
This is another blue-jeans look, but it’s a little dressier than the ones above. I love the pale blue shirt underneath the brown blazer.
Tuck your shirt into wide-leg jeans and add a dark belt to try it yourself. Let the shirt cuffs show below the jacket sleeves.

taupe shirt and dark trousers
Don’t want to add prints or bright accessories? No problem there! Try this taupe button-front shirt with dark gray-brown wide-leg trousers.
The high waistband and long lines down the front are my favorite details. A matching-toned bag and dark pointed shoes finish this look.
long trench and turned-back cuffs
There’s so much to love about this outfit on the hanger. The tan trench sits over a pale blue shirt and cuffed jeans, with a brown belt showing at the waist.

navy shirt and burgundy pleats
I am obsessed with this navy and burgundy pairing. The tucked-in shirt and wide pleated trousers look so good with the black belt.
If you already own burgundy pants, try navy on top instead of white. Roll your sleeves back like this for a similar finish.
black swimsuit with white trim
Taking a little break from jeans and dresses, we have this black one-piece. I love the white straps and angled white panels along the neckline.
The high-cut sides keep the shape quite different from the outfits above. If you’re putting together a beach look, a wrap skirt would be an optional addition.
cream blouse with a detailed neckline
How pretty is the neckline on this cream blouse? The openwork detail across the top and full sleeves give you plenty to look at without a bold print.

Wear a similar blouse untucked over dark flared jeans to follow this outfit. The dark handbag and pointed shoes keep the accessories simple.
long dotted layer over jeans
If you are looking for something a little different, then this one is for you. There’s a long sheer white dotted layer over a white cropped top and blue jeans.
I love the flared cuffs and small fastenings at the middle. Keep the lower front open if you want to show your jeans in the same way.
asymmetric mini and tall boots
This asymmetric mini is so cute with the black high-neck top. The angled front panel is my favorite part, especially with the simple black tights and tall pointed boots.
Try a small chain-strap bag if you want a little shine without adding lots of jewelry.
green cardigan and dark jeans
If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. A green cardigan, white top and dark wide-leg jeans make a lovely everyday combination.
The brown bag has a patterned scarf tied to it. Try that little extra if your usual bag needs a change.
boxy blue shirt and brown trousers
Last but definitely not least, we have this dark blue shirt and brown trouser combination. I love the short sleeves and big front pockets!
