Inverted Triangle

Inverted Triangle

You have a swimmers body, broad shoulders, full bust and narrow hips with longer lean legs.

Style Solution: It’s all about proportion, scale and balance. Add contour to your bottom half to balance your figure overall and make the most of slim and shapely legs. Create the illusion of narrow shoulders with clever dressing.

What to Wear
• Jackets and coats that cinch at the waist then flare out create curvy hips and simulate the hourglass figure. Belted and cropped styles work in your favour.
• Empire line tops and dresses with deep U or V-necklines and wider straps pull the eye inward, minimising your shoulder width. Raglan or set-in sleeves also minimise shoulders.
• Darker colours, fine knits, prints and patterns on top.
• Full, fluted hem, tulip, printed or embellished skirts fill out and balance your bottom half.
• Slim or straight leg pants and jeans, lower rises and wider waistbands all work to balance the bottom half of the body to the top. You are lucky to be able to pull off harem, gathered and waist detailed pants.
• Boots, pumps and platforms all work in your favour.

What to Avoid 
• Double breasted or boxy jackets    and coats
• Exaggerated shoulder detailing
• Chunky knit sweaters
• Horizontal striped tops
• Boat necklines, spaghetti straps
• Large scale print or overly large detail on top; ruffles, bows etc
• Shapeless shift dresses
• Wide leg pants and jeans
• Skinny belts
