Inverted Triangle BODY SHAPE... Tips

             

while, the fashion design concerns in women body shape, still give the privilege to hourglass, this is the way those without, need in order to survive, building the confidence sense of style, i have to say the very best friend in  fashion history clothing design is Dior, in europe scene, for our type.

for those with inverted triangle body shape, use and abuse dior forms from 40´s.

              

 Usually the main traits of this body shape are : 

1. Wide shoulders.(Wider than hip line) and in some cases,strong looking shoulders.

2. Straight/narrower hips due to broader shoulder

3. There is little or no waist definition

4.  You may have an athletic physique.(Not always the case,because there are plus size inverted triangles).

HOW TO DRESS THE INVERTED TRIANGLE BODY

When dressing this body shape,the main focus should be MINIMIZING the UPPER BODY and MAXIMIZING the LOWER BODY to balance out your silhouette.

To create the illusion of curves and to balance out the inverted triangle body shape,peplum tops,dresses and skirts are a good choice.They add volume and create curves around the bottom half.

                            

Another great choice is wearing bold prints or patterns,horizontal strips,light and bold colors,etc. on your bottom half.This makes you look bigger around that area.Avoid vertical prints on your bottom half because it has a slimming effect.

       

Nipped in waist tops,dresses and jackets.This gives the illusion of a defined waist and creates curves.You can also cinch in your waist with a belt to have the same effect.A belt on a loose top or dress will cinch in your waist and make it look defined.

                                 

Another way of adding volume to the bottom half is by wearing full circle skirts,tulip dresses and skirts,A-line skirts,pockets,horizontal stripes,etc.

To draw attention away from your broad / strong shoulders,wear simple smooth tops and low V or U necklines.These have a slimming effect.Cowl neck is another option.

Wide necklines can be worn provided you wear a long pendant necklace

                               

                                                           _______________

You can wear most trouser styles.From boot cut,straight,flare,cropped pants,etc.If you have short legs or you are short,i would say avoid cropped pants/trousers.It only makes your legs look shorter.Instead,find trousers that elongate your legs giving the illusion of long legs.
