Ive just started college and the dress code is smart. Im also really stuck for hat sort of things to wear as im not stick thin like the other girls. Im just an average size but im unsure what smart clothes are flattering for a pear shaped body.

Lots! Wear clothes that help balance your body by drawing attention to your upper half: try a ruffled tuxedo blouse, for instance (those are popular this season). Avoid thin, clingy material on pants/skirts. That stuff's bad for just about anyone. Accentuate your waist to help give yourself an hourglass figure by wearing blazers with darts--one of the best looks for pear shapes, and those can be worn with everything from jeans to dress pants. As far as dresses/skirts go, look for these types: A-line, tulip, flared. And keep the material structured (that's material that holds its own shape, like wool or denim). As far as pants go, look for nice pants with a bit of flare or bootcut to help you stay balanced. Faux-wrap dresses look great on pear-shaped bodies. Be sure to dress in colors that flatter your complexion, and be sure to have a little bit of fun with your clothes. Confidence is the best accessory! Things to stay away from, no matter what: tunics, long shirts, bulky sweaters. Just do flattering, feminine blouses on top and keep it structured on the bottom. Have fun!

I've had similar issues as well. I like sticking to woven fabrics (like the traditional button-down oxford, among other things) as knit fabrics tend to cling. Trying on trousers and skirts may be a bit of a process, but go for the nicer items because you'll get more use out of them.
Most importantly, buy things that look good on you now, don't buy something and then think "oh this will fit after I loose five pounds;" it's a recipie for disappointment.

It's really not that hard. Most department stores like Kohl's, Target, Wal-Mart, Dillards, etc. have IN STYLE clothing for sale all the time. Just go look around and see what you like. If all else fails--- you can never go wrong with a great fitting pair of jeans-preferably with a flared or boot-cut bottom--some sexy heels and a nice fitting tee or other sexy fitted shirt. Lucky Brand jeans, Abercrombie & Fitch jeans, Duckhead jeans, JLo jeans and Levi's are some of my favorites.

I would say to wear anything in a baby-doll style. It fits tight and attractively by your chest and then flairs out, it can hide your stomach and large butt. They are in style and you can get some really cute baby doll shirts and dresses (summer). Its a way to look good and feel confident about being pear shaped!

Accent the upper part of your body with large earring and a necklace or a scarf. Wear bright colored tops and darker bottoms. Keep your shoes dark or neutral. Avoid belts.

Wear dark colored pants and skirts and wear things that direct the eye to the upper part of your body, such as really cute tops, earrings, etc.

Just drop a few pounds and stop using words like "pear shaped body" to excuse yourself. Then all the cloths will flatter your body type.

Dark pants and a light blouse or light top with accents on it.
