Are You a Triangle Body Shape?

Some people refer to this body shape as a pear, but calling ourselves fruit is never good for the self-esteem.  Instead, if you think of yourself as a shape, you can find clothing, and accessories, that follow your triangle shape, and flatter your figure.

If you have a Triangle Body Shape you:

• have shoulders that are narrower than the widest part of your hips
• upper body may be a favourite part of your figure
• tend to gain weight in your hip area
• 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

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

If this shape doesn't sound like you, one of these other body shapes might feel more relatable: Circle, Inverted Triangle, Hourglass, Standard, or Rectangle.
