The inverted triangle is generally composed of broader shoulders and smaller hips. The size and curvature varies with everyone. It is said the inverted triangle tends to be top heavy; this shape can also be achieved by having a thin build with wider shoulders than hips.
If you have an inverted triangle body type, do not be afraid to add curves to your body and define the curves that you already have. There are many styles that can accentuate your frame. These clothing styles will flatter the curves you have, define your waist, and balance your shoulders. Use the guide I have set up to determine what clothing styles will flatter your body type, and which ones to avoid.
Tops and Jackets:
A goal when it comes to tops can be to help soften your shoulders to create more balance with your hips. Inverted triangles look great in tailored button-down tops. The best way to wear them is to leave the first few buttons un-done as to create a V-neck and to wear a soft camisole underneath. V-necks and scoop neck are excellent for you, for they draw the attention downward toward the waistline. Wearing long cardigans and similar clothing items unbuttoned will help soften your shoulder line. Cold shoulder tops are a way to add style and slim shoulders. Try to keep collars and lapels smaller. Larger ones tend to make your shoulders look broader. Tops with tight arm holes and puffy sleeves are ones to avoid for they add more width to your shoulders. All jackets that are longer than your waist line are a great line for your body shape. When it comes to detailing on tops and jackets, try to keep them "low-profile" unless they are at the waistline or lower. Remember, the attention should be drawn downward toward your waistline, whereas detailing at the shoulders and chest will bring the attention upward. Strive to wear vertical stripes over horizontal stripes. When wearing knitted tops, aim for a smaller stich. Try to avoid extravagant collars, cowl necks, and anything that will emphasize your shoulders, but wear styles that will emphasize your waistline and hips. Three-quarter sleeves will draw the eye down and give you a longer, leaner look.
Dresses and Skirts:
When picking out a dress, opt for ones that have wider straps over spaghetti straps, for they will give your shoulders a narrower appearance. Halter tops are perfect for making your shoulders look slimmer. If you are not afraid to show off your shoulders, a strapless dress is a great look for you. Dresses with A-line skirts will look stunning; adding balance to your figure. Dresses that have a cinched waist are a great way to add definition. You cannot go wrong with full skirts and A-line skirts are perfect for adding a flair that balances your shape. One of the best fabric choices for dresses and skirts is soft and flowing.
Pants and Belts:
When it comes to pants, you can wear almost everything. Any type of pant is great as long as you have a top that flatters your body. Some of the best pant selections for you are boot-cut and wide leg pants; they created a balance with your top half and add curvature to your bottom half. Add some palazzo pants for an evening out or a trouser for a day-wear pant. Inverted triangles can also pull off crop pants whereas other body types have a harder time doing so. When it comes to belts, I greatly encourage them worn around the thinnest part of your waist. They will add curves and define your hipline. They are great accessory that is very stylish. Do not be afraid to draw attention to your legs. Wearing bright and detailed shoes is a great accessory for you.
Other Facts:
When choosing fabrics, aim for soft, weighty, and flowing. Fabrics that are too ridged are ones you should avoid. Wearing dark colored tops are great if you intend to wear skinny jeans, for they minimize the attention drawn toward your shoulders.
A common mistake for women with the inverted triangle body is that they emphasize their top half of their body too much and do not define and add curvature to their bottom half. The key here is balancing your body. You already have curves on your upper half, thus choosing clothes that define your waist and add curves at your hips are absolutely flattering on your body type.
