Dresses Which Suit Inverted Triangle Body Shape
Dresses for an inverted triangle body shape should balance broad shoulders with wider hips by adding volume and definition to the lower body. Choose A-line, fit-and-flare, or empire waist dresses with fuller skirts that cinch at the waist and flare out, or styles with details like pleats, ruffles, or prints around the hips. Opt for necklines that soften the shoulder line, such as V-necks, scoop necks, or wrap styles, and consider fabrics that add structure to the lower half.
Inverted Triangle Body Shape - Characteristics
Inverted Triangle – Fashion Strategy
The shoulders are the widest part of the inverted triangle body.
To balance your proportions, the tendency is to narrow the shoulders and add volume to the lower body.
It is strategizing with fashion to create a defined silhouette, and it has worked for many women for
decades.
You can try it first to see if you like it.
In the end, these are suggestions on how to dress and not inflexible guidelines.
Tops for the Inverted Triangle Body Shape
Role of Tops in your Closet: Tops create the illusion of a waistline, and reduce the wide appearance of your
shoulders and elongate the upper body.
Feel: The right top will balance your proportions to naturally make you look taller and curvier.
What to Look for in tops? Look for tops with a built-in waist that downplays the upper body.
Tops – Choose The Right Sleeves Style and Colour:
– Choose sleeves carefully.
Short sleeves should be fitted and skin-tight to avoid adding any volume to your shoulders.
– On the other hand, long, wide sleeves that flare down are very flattering.
They add volume around the hips and draw attention to that area. This balances the wide shoulders.
– Thin straps will only accentuate your broad shoulders so, wide straps are better.
Go strapless if you want to show off your shoulders.
– Draw attention to the legs.
Pick tops whose colours are darker than the bottoms to draw attention away from the upper body to the lower body.
Bottoms for The Inverted Triangle Body Shape
Role of Bottoms in your Closet: Bottoms maximize the lower body.
They create a waistline and widen the hips to balance your shoulders.
Feel: The right bottom styles for the inverted triangle body add volume at the hips and butt to create the illusion of a curvier lower body.
What to Look for in Bottoms? Look for bottoms with lots of details and a loose fit.
Jeans/Trousers – If it adds volume and curves to your lower body, you want it!
– Wide-leg styles give the illusion of waist and hips.
While a straight-cut style elongates the legs.
Jeans/trousers that flare down from the knee visually widen your lower body to balance your broad shoulders.
– Because you have narrow hips, details in the back, front and sides like pockets, buttons, and embroidery will add curves to your hips.
– Bright colours, micro prints and big bold prints – like florals – draw attention to the lower half.
Darker colours, simple styles and skinny jeans accentuate the legs and make your upper body look disproportionally larger.
So I recommend you avoid these looks.
