What to Wear if you have Big Thighs?
Outfits for Pear Shaped Bodies:
Knowing your body type is the first step toward improving your style game. If you know that you have a pear-shaped body, then keep these tips in mind:
- Go for tops that will show off your slender upper body, for example, cold shoulder tops.
- Choose bottoms that have an elongating illusion such as vertically striped pants.
- Wear heels whenever you can as they too will lengthen your figure and shorten the difference between your shoulders and hips.
- For your tops, give preference to horizontal stripes over vertical ones.
- Cropped tops with a large V or U neckline can look great on pear-shaped figures.
- When buying suits, look for ones with padding on the shoulders.
The next 4 outfits are specifically for the pear-shaped ladies:
↓ 30 – Off-shoulder Tops
Off-shoulder tops and dresses can keep the focus on your shoulders or collarbone instead of the hips. Dark colors are an excellent choice for such outfits, as proven by Nicolette Mason here:

As a larger woman, you might find solace wrapping yourself in billowing layers. It can definitely be tempting to think that by piling on the material you will be able to hide any ungainly lumps or bumps. But it’s actually counterproductive and may make you look bigger than you actually are! Adding a belt to your outfit will solve this nicely, and may, in fact, make you appear smaller!
For this look, a pair of light-wash jeans are belted at the waist and matched with a tucked in white top. Throw over that a striped cardigan and have with your footwear with some cheetah print flats!

↓ 1 – Cute and Simple Outfit for Ladies with Big Thighs
For our final outfit, we wanted to give you something basic and simple, something you could easily put together with the items you probably already have in your closet. This is a great look that would work for all sorts of events. You could grab lunch in this outfit, hit up the mall, attend a casual party, go shopping, or simply run errands – yep, it really is that versatile!
Start with a cute, well-fitting pair of mid-length jeans. These hit right above the ankle, which gives the illusion of a slimmer leg since it’s cutting off at one of the most slender parts of said limb. Folding it at the hem is super cute and does a great job of highlighting some little black booties – which are perfectly matched by an adorable black suede purse!
For your top, it’s your choice of tee shirt. We like this simple striped one. Last but not least pop on a cardigan for layers and warmth – especially if it’s a chilly day!

None of the girls in those pictures have big thighs. And the idea isn’t to shame yourself into hiding them but feeling good about showing them off
I think you need chics with big thighs to model these outfits not skinny girls
I AGREE!!!!! Super lame.
agree
Mlil8⁷7th
Yes I totally agree. I have bigger thighs. I don’t have a thigh gap. I have a small waist and I’m a teen. I need reliable sources. Not only is this article filled with unrelated images it makes many others feel bad about themselves. When we say”big thighs” we don’t mean plus size. Come on and get it right!
I was thinking this same thing. Glad everyone else agreed.
Exactly. They should have actually had people with big thighs
Idk. In my personally opinion I feel like it helped. I feel like I have big thighs, but those women all had bigger thighs than me. Now I feel like i can switch up my wardrobe a little bit. And yeah I don’t think it should be about hiding them, but these are some good ideas.
Sorry to have disappointed you. We have asked the writer to update the article as per your comments.

Unbelievable! Not one thick woman on here….
Honestly… Smh
This is bull, where are the actual *big thighs*
The idea is not to be fat and feel happy about that. The Right thing is to be fit from your body and soul.People who tears down other’s confidence was the weakest people themselves. But if you loose your confidence by listening to them. You are more a coward. Do not appreciate yourself to be fat. It is not healthy at all. Fat people tend to have the least immunity to lots of disease and illness.
I totally support this one. As i dont think looking for some items which suits you is not at all going down.. It is just about looking good.
Thank you for your feedback, keep visiting 🙂

Modesty people!!
Need outfits for short lady’s that are 200# with Big legs and calf’s We do not need skinny jeans and tight ankle pants. I know darker pants that are not so tight you can’t move. And we need cute tops to match not wild flowers to make us look bigger yet and we need 3/4 sleeves to cover our flapping arms. The trick is finding them!

Same here but some of it helped
No big thighs here! We need real help, not these models whose thighs are appropriate to their body sizes. I am a regular size woman who has abnormally large thighs. No one understands!
Hi Cher,
Our writers did their best to only include women and influencers with big thighs in this article. You’ll notice that while some women in the article are plus size, there are many regular or even small size women with big thighs. I’m sure you’ll find the tips helpful if you give them a try 🙂

None of these women had my Pear shapes body. Short with very small top and from waist down, we have a stomach, a huge butt and thunder thighs. Show me how to dress that kind of body! Not this stupid crap you posted and called it meeting what the public was looking for when they googled saddlebags, and how to dress to look good. POOR RATING ZERO STARS
Hi Karen,
I’m sorry to hear that the article did not match your expectations. We’ve just updated it to include some tips and outfits that are specifically for pear shaped ladies. I hope you’ll find it helpful.
Kind regards,
Team Outfit Trends.
this article was more about hiding your figure IMO. I have huge muscular thighs – genetically and ok with me. Was not looking to hide them but to compliment my figure.
Hey there, sorry it wasn’t up to your expectations. We try to cater to all types of tastes as based on our comments, many women wanted outfit ideas that will help highlight their best body parts instead of the thighs. But I understand your point too and we’ll try to edit this post to include the kind of ideas that you mentioned.
Kind regards,
Team Outfit Trends.
I agree. I would not depend on this source for advice. Don’t have a clue. Also, wide legged slacks make short people with thick legs and hips look bigger. Insulating.
