Do You Have an Inverted Triangle Body Shape?

If you have an Inverted Triangle Body Shape you:

• have hips that are narrower than your shoulders
• your waist may go in slightly, or be a bit straighter, but the main defining feature of your shape is the different proportions of shoulders and hips
• may describe feeling like a “football player” in certain garments
• often well endowed in proportion to the rest of your figure, but not always
• tend to be drawn to v-necklines

 Style Tips for the Inverted Triangle Body Shape:

• bring attention to narrow hips
• keep clothing slim in hip area to create definition and curve, which will create visual balance in your shape
• make sure all details like ruffles, patterns, and other design elements are in areas other than shoulders
• bottoms need to be cut straight, if there is room for hips cut into a garment you will find it gapes, and looks too big
• clothing shapes that also create an inverted triangle shape will be most comfortable for you

Clothing and Accessories that will be easiest for you to wear:

• narrow pants like skinny jeans look amazing on you
• a pencil skirt is your best skirt shape (this skirt is in the shape of an inverted triangle, too)
• v-necklines are amazing in all shirt styles as they visually narrow shoulders (think collared shirts, sweaters, t-shirts, etc.)
• belts look awesome on you and create balance for your shape
• tend to look good in leggings, which bring attention to narrow hips/legs
