Sick of bulky, oversized dresses this winter? Us too! Just because it’s a full season doesn’t mean it everything in our wardrobe it has to be like that. In fact, we should all have pieces in our wardrobe for every season that help us highlight our shapes too. . . all while staying warm and looking expensive too, of course! This roundup of 17 dresses is specifically dedicated to pear-shaped women who want some styles that visually slim their silhouette—and start at just $26.
After doing some research on the most slimming silhouettes, we found that wrap, a-line, off-the-shoulder and empire waists are the best flattering pear shapes, helping to either create visual balance, draw the eye up or highlight the curves naturally. We also found that some winter fabrics shed more weight than others, such as jersey, satin and wool knits too, so we made sure to find silhouettes with those specific constructions. As you can see, these dresses give you a boost, helping to keep you warm, while losing the silhouette and they’re stylish too. You can’t beat that!
