A pear shape carries width at the hips — the bag should draw the eye upward. Here is the balancing pick.
Wear It High, Near the Face
A short crossbody or a top-handle worn high brings focus up. The crossbodies adjusted short are the trick.
Medium, Not Oversized
A medium shoulder bag balances hips without adding bottom weight. The shoulder bags in medium scale suit pears.
The Rule
Pro tip: pear shapes should avoid huge bags at the hip — they add visual weight low. Go medium and wear it high to draw the eye up.
Shop the face-framing crossbodies.
Frequently Asked Questions

A medium bag worn high — short crossbody or top-handle — to draw the eye upward and balance wider hips.
