Features of the female figure “inverted triangle”
Don’t know if you can be classified as a girl with this body type? It is not difficult to determine this; this type of physique is characterized by the following features:
- Shoulders are medium-sized or wide, wider than the hips;
- rather large breasts - from medium to very full size;
- not a clearly defined waist, even its absence is possible;
- narrow pelvis;
- long slender legs.
If you really have such external data, then your figure belongs to this type.
This photo shows the “inverted triangle” body type, which has all of the above characteristics:
Lots of pros and one minus
Short or long torso and legs, small or large breasts are found in all types of appearance. Do not consider this a personal tragedy, but focus on what is unique to your appearance.
The main advantage of a triangular figure is its external fit. The main thing is not to slouch and remember to keep your back straight. Other important advantages:
- neat hips;
- slender legs;
- the presence of a waist or the effect of its presence;
- an athletic look rather than flaccid anorexicness or shapelessness.
You should be proud of this and not be shy to demonstrate it. Some people consider broad shoulders to be a disadvantage, while others are quite pleased with them. In any case, you shouldn’t add volume to this part of the body, but you can emphasize the beautiful shape.
The only disadvantage of the inverted triangle is the disproportion between the upper massive and lower small parts of the body. This gives a slight touch of masculinity. If you strive for femininity, you just need to choose clothes that will make your appearance harmonious.
Hollywood stars with an inverted triangle body type
Unfortunately, by nature this type of female physique is not harmonious. That is why, with the help of clothing and special exercises, it is necessary to balance the upper and lower parts of the female body as much as possible. The outfit should be designed in such a way that the shoulders become visually narrower and the hips become round. In fact, this is not difficult to do.
According to stylists, the main thing is to follow the three golden rules of the “inverted triangle”:
- Do not load the upper body with a large number of decorative elements. Preference should be given to wardrobe items that have been sewn with a minimum of decor. The top should be as simple and discreet as possible.
- The cut of clothing should be straight and strict.
- Emphasis on the hip area.
If you are the owner of such an appearance, you should not underestimate yourself, because many recognized beauties of Hollywood also have the same physique as you. Angelina Jolie, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore - these are not all the stars with the “inverted triangle” body type, who always have an impeccable appearance.
Shoes and accessories
You should always have a bright accent in the lower part of the body, distracting attention from the voluminous top. Therefore, it is permissible and even preferable to choose shoes of non-standard colors or with eye-catching decor. A heel that is too high is not advisable. Stable heels and wedges are much more relevant.
Flat sole - yes:
- original ballet shoes;
- sandals with rhinestones, fringes, straps;
- high boots with buckles;
- shoes with spikes.
Stylish classics are also appreciated. The main thing is that the shoes do not go unnoticed.
The bag should be large enough, but not shapeless. The best choice is a geometric model with rounded edges, a non-aggressive design, made of embossed or printed leather. For lovers of small handbags - a rectangular clutch.
Wear loose thin scarves, long beads and chains, stud or elongated earrings, and large jewelry on your hands. A good addition would be wide belts with eye-catching buckles on the hips. It is better to emphasize the waist with a narrow belt.
Clothing options for the inverted triangle body type
Properly selected wardrobe items will help eliminate minor imbalances between top and bottom. Let's look at the most successful clothing options for the “inverted triangle” body type, which will help transform a woman and give her silhouette femininity and harmony.
When putting together fashionable outfits, consider the following recommendations from experts in the fashion world:
You should not focus on broad shoulders and a voluminous bust with the wrong clothes. For such a feminine appearance, puffed sleeves, ruffles, frills, large bows and other decor on the chest are inappropriate.
You should know that boat necklines, stand-up necklines, cowl necklines, American armholes and excessively short sleeves will visually expand the upper body. Clothes with these elements should not be in your wardrobe if you do not want to look funny and ridiculous.
Short and tight trousers are also prohibited for girls and women with this body type. This will make the upper body appear even more voluminous against the background of a narrow bottom.
Shoulder pads and padded shoulders, as well as dolman sleeves, are something that should not be in the wardrobe of female representatives of this body type.
Clothes made of light, flowing fabrics look good on such a figure; they lighten the entire silhouette as a whole.
In all its diversity, clothing for the “inverted triangle” body type is presented in detail in the photo below:
What to say no to
You can choose the perfect style of clothing if you clearly remember what should not be in an inverted triangle wardrobe. Strictly prohibited:
- any shoulder pads;
- cowl collars;
- large lapels;
- ruffles, flounces, prints in the upper part of clothing;
- narrow straps;
- boat neckline;
- voluminous sleeves;
- loose robes.
It's in your closet - sell it, donate it, get rid of it in any way and make room for new outfits.
Carefully:
- short tops;
- clothes that are too tight;
- oversized style;
- tight dark trousers;
- square cutouts;
- transverse stripe at the top;
- candid mini.
Whether such things are suitable or not depends on personal characteristics. Use common sense and a sense of style.
Styles of dresses and skirts for the inverted triangle body type
Dresses for the “inverted triangle” body type are presented in a wide variety; the main thing is to choose the right style in which the female silhouette will look as harmonious as possible. Dress models that balance the top and bottom look most flattering on this body type, that is, the emphasis is on the lower part of the body, diverting attention from the shoulders and chest.
If you decide to add this feminine piece of clothing to your wardrobe, follow these rules when choosing it:
To add volume to the hips, choose dress models with widened skirts. A good option would be
“sun flare”, “half sun”, “tulip”,
A-line, pleated skirt.
Adhering to this rule, you should also choose skirts for the “inverted triangle” figure type; in them, the figure looks more feminine and proportional.
Greek style dresses are an ideal option for this body type; they look very impressive and luxurious on women with this appearance. Such models fall freely down, hiding all the curves of the figure. The length of a dress in the Greek style does not matter much, because, as a rule, girls with such a physique have slender legs.
The “Princess” style with a full skirt and corset is another successful option for this clothing. A full skirt hides narrow hips, giving the lower part volume, emphasizing a small waist and balancing the entire look.
A straight-cut dress will also help hide too narrow hips. It is important that such a model is loose enough, so the real proportions of the body will not be visible.
You can visually reduce bust volume and shoulder width using models with a V-shaped or deep oval neckline, with an American armhole or strapless. The open décolleté area, according to stylists, will appear smaller than it actually is.
When choosing such an outfit, you should pay attention to its sleeves. In dresses for the “fougere” figure type, they can be of two options - either long, or ¾, or they should not be there at all. You should not wear models with short sleeves, as this will make the upper body appear even wider and more massive.
How to dress beautifully, stylishly and correctly?
The main criterion for choosing clothes is the balance of massive shoulders relative to narrow hips. In the photo with the “Inverted Triangle” figure, you see that the hips need to be visually enlarged, and the shoulders need to be narrowed, thereby making the waist more expressive. This goal is achievable not only with the help of physical exercise and nutrition, but also thanks to well-chosen clothing: The upper part should be dim, inexpressive, so as not to add excess volume:
- dark color;
- V-shaped vertical neckline;
- It is better to choose shirts, jackets, blouses with belts and ties at the waist;
- Tops should be fitted.
The bottom should be made voluminous, thus balancing with the top:
- It is advisable for trousers and skirts to have patch pockets or decorations;
- style of jeans and trousers – boot-cut (narrow at the hips, widened at the bottom);
- wide, A-shaped skirts;
- rough, baggy pants made of thick fabrics;
- the skirt should not be very short;
- Some additional decor on the hips would be nice.
Having any figure, you cannot look like a man in a skirt, and even more so in trousers. Clothing recommendations will be simple. The choice in any part of the wardrobe is quite extensive. You decide what to wear, we only advise.
Dresses
Girls with a triangle body type often prefer sportswear. But you can’t completely give up dresses and skirts. Moreover, they should be worn often and with pleasure. It is this item of clothing that is considered the most feminine and gives graceful roundness to shapes.
Dress styles suitable for you:
- shirt cut;
- safari style;
- models with wraparound;
- A-silhouette;
- with a flared skirt;
- peplum sheath dresses;
- with colored inserts modeling the X-silhouette;
- straight ones are not too voluminous.
For formal and special occasions, an evening dress in the Greek style is suitable. Just don't confuse it with the Empire style. These are the models you need to be wary of. Excessive drape from the chest can turn you into a square. Any asymmetry looks good - one sleeve, an open shoulder, a wrap, a pattern, a large bow or off-center decoration.
The triangle figure requires changing the classic combination of “white top - black bottom” exactly the opposite. Choose tops in dark colors with American armholes or wide straps. Narrow ones, like light colors, focus attention on unwanted volumes. Avoid prints, especially small, shiny fabrics and bright decor.
Laconic blouses with draperies, a slouch, a V-neck, and a long bow at the neck are suitable. Blousons and tunics are also your option. A good choice would be a men's cut shirt, plain or with longitudinal stripes. A collar that is not fully buttoned and slightly raised will create vertical dynamics and separate the line of the shoulders.
Sweaters and jackets are preferably made of thin but dense knitwear, with a zipper or through fastener. The desired length is mid-thigh. Too short will divide the figure into two unequal parts. Cardigans with raglan sleeves or dropped shoulders are best worn unbuttoned. Don't get carried away with voluminous collars; hoods are completely acceptable.
They call it an inverted triangle - wine glass, carrot, strawberry. But perhaps the most succinct definition is the trouser type. That is, in this part of the wardrobe almost everything will suit you:
- jeans – boyfriends, pipes, torn, classic;
- trousers - shortened, tapered, flared from the hip and knee, palazzo, chinos, riding breeches;
- shorts – mini, Bermuda, gaucho;
- pants – afghani, cargo, trousers.
Only leggings and skinnies are not entirely appropriate, especially for full inverted triangles. If you prefer these models, let them be with bright prints, decor, and scuffs. It is advisable to choose light-colored trousers, but classic dark ones are not forbidden.
Show off your beautiful legs – don’t deny yourself innocent pleasure. All kinds of skirts will help with this.
Your styles:
- corrugated and pleated;
- semi- and full flares;
- trapezoid;
- tulip;
- checkered straight and oblique;
- with basque;
- pencil.
The length can be any. A floor-length skirt with a high slit looks impressive. Prints, flounces, and frills are welcome. It is advisable to choose a classic fit at the waist.
Outerwear
Jackets require special care when choosing. They should not be too fitted, short, with a pronounced shoulder line. Suitable models are in the Chanel style, semi-fitting, with a single button fastener, with a peplum, belt or belt. Avoid overtly masculine cut jackets.
A coat with an open neck will be the highlight of your look. You can also consider options:
- semi-fitted single-breasted with jacket collar;
- straight cut with and without belt;
- flared from the waist;
- oversized with raglan sleeves, tapered at the bottom;
- cocoon.
Shoulder straps, epaulettes, and other decor on the shoulders are not your element. Just like a classic trench coat. If it’s a raincoat, then it should be flared under the belt. But jackets are suitable for a classic cut, for dynamic looks - a biker jacket, a bomber jacket.
How to dress in harsh winter? - of course, in fur coats. Choose from autolady, cocoon, straight, flared, hooded, stand-up and jacket models. But skip the elaborate fur mounds around the neck and sleeves. Length depends on height. Tall - any, petite - short and medium.
Swimwear
If you want to be a queen on the beach, choose swimsuits with a halter or no straps at all. Pay attention to the interesting hipster bodice model, shaped like a top with an American armhole.
It is better to wear swimming trunks with a wide side part, with ties, draperies or transverse decor. Fat girls should be careful, but slender girls can and should wear sports swimsuits. Sometimes it is difficult to choose the size due to the difference in the volume of the chest and hips. Look for stores that allow unsteaming of swimsuits.
What else to wear for women with an inverted triangle body type
Particular attention should be paid to the choice of other wardrobe items for owners of this body type. It is recommended to wear blouses and sweaters of a simple cut, without decorative elements. If we talk about a V-silhouette figure, then the rule of putting together an outfit “white top, dark bottom” does not work here. On the contrary, with such a body constitution, a combination of a dark top and a light bottom would be a good option.
You also need to choose your jackets carefully. For women with this appearance, models cut with angular lines that lengthen the upper part of the body and do not weigh down the bottom are perfect. Blazers and jackets with a V-neck, seams that form a V-shaped angle, and models with a single button closure look good. It is advisable to avoid jackets, jackets and coats with voluminous collars and patch pockets.
If we talk about the coat that is most suitable for the “inverted triangle”, then stylists call single- and double-breasted models, “cocoon”, “poncho”.
Fabrics: texture, pattern, color
For the top, soft, flowing fabrics are preferable, for the bottom - dense, textured, with a printed pattern. Place color accents correctly. Everything is light at the bottom, dark at the top. This doesn't mean you should avoid bright colors. Just follow a simple rule: blouses, tops, jackets should be darker than skirts and trousers.
Leave small prints alone. Large drawings are relevant for you, but they are located below the waist. Bright skirts, trousers with embroidery, jeans with scuffs and rhinestones, combined dresses, spectacular trim at the hem - this is beautiful and makes your figure harmonious. Don't be afraid to express your individuality.
