Balance Your Top and Bottom Halves 

Beyond being a good idea for modest fashion–this is good fashion advice, period.
Create a dynamic contrast between the top and bottom halves of your outfit.  Especially if you’re pear-shaped, avoid tucking your shirt into your pants. Doing so will emphasise your bottom half. Instead, go for a longer shirt that has some flow.
