Gearing up for warm weather? I’m sharing the best shorts for a Pear Shaped Body!
You asked, and I investigated. Let’s be honest…….finding shorts that fit us ladies with a pear shaped body? Can be a bit of a challenge. Fitted shorts tend to draw attention to wider thighs and be not very flattering. Bermuda shorts look terrible. And most short that fit in the hips are HUGE in the waist. I’ve written a similar blog post about my favorite shorts for a pear shaped body for the last few years……and wanted to be sure to update you guys with my favorites for 2020!
I really focused on finding a variety of options from solid colors to prints to bike shorts and even short overalls. That way we can all pick what we love the most when it comes to shorts for a pear shape!
The Best Shorts for a Pear Shaped Body
After trying and testing an embarrassing amount of shorts……these are my absolute favorites. It’s interesting how certain brands tend to be my favorite for shorts year after year (and they tend to be the SAME brands that I love for jeans during cooler months). Current favorites? Madewell and LOFT. If you’re a pear shaped lady, those brands tend to be super flattering on our body type!
Riviera Shorts (size 12): These shorts were my pick of the summer LAST year, and they’re back in a million new prints this year. I own a striped pair, sailor buttoned ones, and a bunch of cute florals. Trust me, they’re a MUST own. They’ll last for years and you’ll be happy you have them!
Shop All Riviera Shorts:
Black Shorts (size 12): Black shorts are a great staple, and a total worthwhile investment. I’ve owned this pair for years, and they’re good as new. They’re perfect for vacations, or time at home.
Shop All Black Shorts:
Short Overalls (size large): I know. I went there. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I was going to love or hate these short overalls for women. And I’m OBSESSED. They fit really well, they’re very comfortable, and I love that the bib draws the eyes up….super flattering for a pear shaped body!

I was wondering if you tried the solid color Riviera shorts this year? I found them last year and lived them for my shape. This summer I have found that they fit quite differently and are a different style—notably no “notches” in the bottom hem at the sides and no belt loops. The notches at the hem really help with them not looking quite so wide in the leg opening. I tried a pair of patterned ones similar to the ones you are wearing in the post and they are a totally different fabric so the fit/style is a little “smoother”. I’m really disappointed that Loft changed this year’s style—after discovering them last summer, I wanted to buy most of the colors this year but won’t be with the current fit. I’m hoping they change it back next year!
I’ve only tried the patterned ones! Now I want to try solids to compare!
I’ve had good luck with chino shorts by GAP or J Crew too!
