The feedback we’re receiving for these effortless spring style advice posts is absolutely wonderful!
People are saying they’re learning something new from each one (even when it isn’t their personal shape).
… And others are patiently waiting for the week their shape is posted.
It is such a pleasure to receive this positive feedback, thank-you.
This week, if you have an inverted triangle body shape, these three options might be the right-for-you choices this season.
1. White Jeans with Zips
White jeans are such an awesome summer staple, and with the zips these ones have an edgy, updated feel. You can wear them everyday with a t-shirt and sandals for a classic outfit with a twist.
… or you could go for the rockstar look by pairing these jeans with a leather jacket and a great short boot.
… or you could wear them for an evening out with a beautiful silk blouse and sky-high heels.
2. Colour-Block Shift Dress
This dress looks like a million bucks, but feels so comfortable you could hang-out all day in it. Paired with heels and great accessories it is perfect for a night on the town.
… but you could also try it with a white collared shirt underneath and a pair of pumps to wear to work.
…. or with a pair of wedge sandals and simple accessories for a backyard party.
3. Pendant Necklace
A pendant necklace is such a beautiful (and practical) choice for inverted triangles… and they are everywhere this season. Here, it’s paired for everyday with a simple t-shirt and shorts.
… although, this necklace would look great with a blouse and blazer for work.
… or worn layered with a bunch of other necklaces as a glam evening accessory.

December 23, 2018 at 7:29 amHI! I have a 45 chest, 40 waist, 39 hips. If I measure a straight line across (what people see when they look at me directly on) chest 21 in, across waist 15 in, across hips 14.5 in. I try to wear mostly straight leg, high waist, skinny jeans. However this always creates a muffin top, any larger pants is too big in hips. (I will not wear body shaping garments.) Any shirt I find to be able to fit around chest of course is sloppy and large at waist and hips and hangs awkwardly. I also have very muscular legs which makes them look skinny, too skinny. I do follow the above mentioned guidelines with clothing however I always look sloppy because some part of the outfit is too big and I look like a football player. I am considering getting a few pieces (top and bottom) tailored or even hiring a seamstress. Before I spend that kind of money, I wanted some guidelines as I have been to get stuff tailored before and they are definitely not stylist, but people who think the clothes should fit according to body shape rather than accentuate shape. Any advice I could make sure I speak about to the seamstress. (Keep in mind I am not going to some fancy place, only a seamstress that sews really well given specific directions.)

December 24, 2018 at 9:39 pmI would recommend getting some specific advice from someone in person. If this isn’t available, you could bring some pieces that you really love to the tailor to copy, with or without alterations. I would also recommend looking at legging style pants with elastic waistbands. Ponte pants, jeggings, leather leggings, that kind of thing. They don’t necessarily need to be high-waisted, just elastic waist, which will be more comfortable and flattering to your figure.
