If your shoulders are narrower than your hips your silhouette is a triangle.

Goal:

Balance the body shape by calling attention to the upper body, visually minimising the hips and maintaining the waistline definition of the curvy silhouette.

Wear:

• Clothes that fit your hips and have the waistline taken in if necessary
• Tops and jackets that finish above or below the widest part of your hips
• Skimming styles rather than tight fitting or too loose bottoms
• Darker and duller colours on the bottom
• Tops that hit at your hip bone or tuck them in
• Tops, sweaters and jackets with embellishments such as big collars, lace trims and ruffles
• Shirts or sweaters tucked in
• Fitted and nipped tops
• ‍Tops in bright colours, bold patterns, stripes, with details and embellishments
• Necklines including, v-necks, square, bateau, sabrina, scoop, crew and cowl
• Bright colours, printed tops
• Pieces that can be layered
• Tops and jackets that finish above or below the widest part of your hips

Avoid:

• Tops that cover the hips
• Bells and whistles or any embellishments on your bottoms
• Details, patterns, pockets on your thigh and hip area and belts on your hips
• Skinny and tight bottoms that emphasise the wide hips
