Any pears found a pleated skirt that suits them?

[CremeDeSudo]

I love these pleated skirts but not convinced they'll suit me. I should try one on really but I don't want to have this 'look' on my head only for it to look shit when I get to the changing rooms!

Any recommendations?

I haven't tried this one but some of the reviewers say it is flattering for pear shapes. I hunted for ages for one which was flattering and the only one I found might have been the floral version of this in the summer. (Looks v similar, same waistband etc) I didn't want a floral one but still sort of regret not buying it cause it was soo much more flattering than anything else i tried but maybe this is the one?!

Anything which adds width isn't going to work, so a skirt that's softly pleated, or maybe straight at the top and then pleated might work. I'm not pear shaped per se but my hips
Are fairly wide and I find anything pleated just makes me look wider. It's a trend I've swerved to be honest and I normally don't mind wearing things that aren't perfect for my figure

The M&S teal skirt as above is very flattering.The pleats are thin and lightweight and the skirt is really pretty .I'm apple shaped and the skirt hangs beautifully.In contrast the M&S velvet pleated skirt is heavy and not as easy going.

I have that skirt too, and it is flattering - as Teta says, the fabric is very light and the pleats softish, which helps I think. It follows the body and does not stand out from it.

I find that wearing it high on the waist also helps

its nice, but not as they have styled it with the clunky footwear

although looks frumpy in this one as well ...

Thank you all. I love that skirt in the green and the pink. Lovely colours! I'll try it on and report back!

I love the pink too now so look forward to hearing what it's like. Fingers crossed!!

I got a black pleated skirt from Hush recently and it doesn't add any bulk to the hips. I love it.
