Are You an Inverted Triangle Body Shape?

The inverted triangle body shape is much more common than many women think.  For some reason women have been socialized into thinking that they have wide hips, and buttocks when that area is actually quite slim.  If you're having trouble separating yourself from your body image, ask a friend to help you define your shape.

If you have an Inverted Triangle Body Shape you:

• have hips that are narrower than your shoulders
• your waist may go in slightly, or be a bit straighter, but the main defining feature of your shape is the different proportions of shoulders and hips
• may describe feeling like a "football player" in certain garments
• often well endowed in proportion to the rest of your figure, but not always
• tend to be drawn to v-necklines

Style Tips for the Inverted Triangle Body Shape:

• bring attention to narrow hips
• keep clothing slim in hip area to create definition and curve, which will create visual balance in your shape
• make sure all details like ruffles, patterns, and other design elements are in areas other than shoulders
• bottoms need to be cut straight, if there is room for hips cut into a garment you will find it gapes, and looks too big
• clothing shapes that also create an inverted triangle shape will be most comfortable for you

Clothing and Accessories that will be easiest for you to wear:

• narrow pants like skinny jeans look amazing on you
• a pencil skirt is your best skirt shape (this skirt is in the shape of an inverted triangle, too) 
• v-necklines are amazing in all shirt styles as they visually narrow shoulders (think collared shirts, sweaters, t-shirts, etc.)
• belts look awesome on you and create balance for your shape
• tend to look good in leggings, which bring attention to narrow hips/legs

Look for an outfit that will flatter an inverted triangle figure coming at the end of the week!

• may be self conscious of hips and/or bottom
• tend to enjoy wearing skirts and dresses more than pants

Style Tips for the Triangle Body Shape:

• bring attention upper body including waist and shoulder area
• anything that is fitted around the hip area will be most comfortable made out of stretchy fabric
• an empire waist will define the narrowest part of your figure, & float over hips
• find pants that fit hip area and alter the waist band that will often gape
• make sure all details like pockets, patterns, and design elements are in areas other than hips

Clothing and Accessories that will be easiest for you to wear:

• look for clothing that is also in a triangle shape like an a-line skirt 
• shirts with ruffled or puffed sleeves balance shoulders and hips
• statement necklaces draw the eye to svelte shoulder area, and face
• patterned shirts are a comfortable option paired with solids on the bottom - the patterns will bring attention to the narrowest part of your figure
• pants that go out at the bottom - like boot, wide leg, and trouser cuts - will be easiest for you to wear
