Style Secrets for Inverted Triangle Body Types
Inverted Triangle
Figure Descriptions
You are broadest through the bust, shoulders, and upper back, narrowing into your waist with hips and thighs equal to your waist or slightly narrower all around.
You have a classic “swimmer’s body,” also called a “V” shape.
Style Suggestions
Keep anything that adds bulk or width through the shoulders, or overemphasizes the bust, away from your torso area.
Keep horizontal patters, texture, bulk and detail to a minimum on top.
Narrowing hips and thighs create an illusion of a waist.
Best if pant or skirt is not overly tapered or slim in cut, as the narrowness overemphasizes your angular shape.
Go for an illusion of overall contour.
