Dress To Flatter Your
Inverted Triangle Body Shape

female inverted triangle body shape

If you have an inverted triangle body shape you are top heavy. You have proportionally broad shoulders, large bust and narrow hips.

This body type is also referred to as a v shape upper body. It is the second best female body shape (after the hourglass figure).

(If you are not sure if this is your shape check your body shape here.)

Your main style aims are...

...to create the illusion of the perfect hourglass body shape by balancing your lower body to your upper body and to draw attention away from your upper body.

Do wear...

  • Flowing fabrics

  • Low to medium-low necklines

  • Set-in sleeves

  • Three-quarter length sleeves

  • A good fitting, well adjusted bra

  • Tops and dresses that flow through the waist

  • A-line skirts

  • Flared pants

Don't wear...

  • Stiff, bulky, fabrics

  • Styles that emphasize your shoulders

  • High necklines

  • Big collars

  • Tapered skirts and pants

Combine these guidelines with...

...the guidelines for your vertical body shape.

Please note these guidelines only take into account your horizontal and vertical body shapes. The recommendations may change based on other features such as your age, your face shape, your neck length and any figure flaws you may have.

A full style analysis will look at you as a whole and make specific recommendations for clothes taking all your features into account.
