Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and one of them is an Inverted triangle. Let me break down for you the defining characteristics of this body type. Women with this body type have shoulders broader than their hip line and a narrow waist. This body type is more prevalent than we know. Our very own Kareena K Khan is an inverted triangle.

Your best assets: if you have this body shape then you’re one of those lucky girls who can flaunt their legs as much as they like. Your legs and your narrow waist are your best features and should be highlighted.

 

Key points to remember for an inverted triangle body:

When dressing an inverted body type, one needs to remember to balance the proportions of the upper body with the lower body. This can be done by bringing your attention to the lower body or by being smart with necklines on the upper body. Below are a few tips for you to follow if you are inverted triangle body shape.

Upper Body

• Since you have broad shoulders, avoid boat necks s they bring more attention to your shoulders. Go for open necks, V-necks, and other deep or curvy necklines to give the illusion of narrower shoulders.
• Avoid big, bold, or horizontal patterns on the upper body as they’ll make your shoulders look wider. Opt for vertical patterns instead for a slimming feature.
• Avoid accessories on the upper body, especially the shoulders and bust. If you do for necklaces, opt for deep V necklaces that are minimal and sleek.
• Try to avoid high necklines. But, if wearing a high neckline then go for darker hues as they’ll make your upper body look slender.
• Accessorize your waistline with different types of belts to accentuate it and create some curves.

 

Lower Body

• Go for A-line skirts as they’ll make your hipline look wider and create a balance with your upper body.
• Go for horizontal patterns and bold prints.
• Avoid wearing fitted skirts as they’ll make your hipline look narrower.
• Go for denim as the thick material will add some bulk to your lower body.
• Instead of fitted trousers opt for palazzos and culottes to balance out your upper body.
• Anything flared on the bottom will give you a more balanced look as it adds volume to your lower body.
• For dresses, opt for a fit and flare style that will balance out your shoulders and hips as well as draw attention to your narrow waist.

 

Play with the footwear as everything will suit you given that your legs are your highlight feature. Always accessorize and love your body type!
