Evening Outfit Idea for Triangle Body Shape

Evening Outfit Ideas for Triangle Body Shape Details

Likely, over the next month, you will have a few more evening events to attend and you'll need multiple outfit ideas to get you through the season.  Since the body shapes series was so popular, I thought it only fitting to do an evening outfit ideas series - an evening outfit idea for each of the six body shapes.  

Today's feature is an an outfit idea best suited for a woman with a triangle body shape.  The skirt (although in a bold pattern) has a structured triangle shape with a waist-defining band at the top.  The overall effect will be one that brings attention to a triangle woman's tiny waist, and float over the hip area - looking like the skirt is creating a fun shape, rather than your figure.  Bold earring, a sparkling top, and an edgy leather jacket will also bring attention up to your face, where you want it!

Some hourglass-shaped women may also be attracted to this outfit, and it will work well for you too, just switch the shirt to a v-neck to better suit your shape.

You may already have the pieces you need for all your evening events this year.  All you need is to Shop Your Closet and have a new set of eyes pull together 30 stylish outfits that will make you feel great.

This Outfit's for You, Triangles

This outfit is one that will feel incredibly comfortable, and look great, on a triangle body shape.

Why it works:

• When you tuck the blouse into the skirt, you will bring attention to your tiny waist, which shows off a flattering part of your figure
• Statement necklace brings attention to slim décolletage, neck, and face
• Simple a-line skirt skims hips without bringing too much attention to the area.  Buttons in vertical line create length

If you're a triangle shaped woman, this outfit has been designed affordably - around $100 from top to bottom - so it is easily accessible.  You can click on the image details to get a breakdown of where all the pieces can be sourced, and their individual prices.

If this outfit doesn't sound like something you would wear, one of these outfits might feel more relatable: Circle, Inverted Triangle, Hourglass, Standard, or Rectangle.

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.
