Dress For Your Inverted Triangle
Body Shape
With an Inverted Triangle Body Shape you are quite angular. You usually
find that you look silly in dresses so you end up wearing
sporty gear that suits your athletic or boyish frame.
You find it
difficult to look feminine. Your secret is to play up to your angles
and and add curve to your lower body.
Look to Style Icons Like:
Elle MacPherson, Cameron Diaz, Naomi Campbell
What To Wear:
- All things asymmetric or angular in shape. This will create
dramatic angles to redraw your body shape
- Dresses with off centre gathers, diagonal lines or
asymmetrical lines to create curves
- Wider collars on shirts and jackets to balance your
shoulders
- Full length jackets with big or wide hip pockets
- Flared skirts and fluted skirts
- Flowing fabrics like chiffon or draping jersey will look
feminine, fluid and create curves where you need them
- Skinny jeans or cigarette pants
- Flares that are fitted at your hips and thighs
- Slim healed shoes to show off your slim calves and ankles
- Wide strapped halter necks
What Not To Wear:
- An Inverted Triangle Body Shape should not wear shoulder pads
- Shapeless floaty dresses will make you look like Olive Oyl,
Popeye's girlfriend
- Platform or chunky shoes (they will emphasise your slim
ankles)
- 3/4 sleeves will just emphasis your V shape
- All one colour or a large print dress. It will make you
look bigger not smaller
