When it comes to looking your best, try one of these style strategies. You’re a perfect triangle if you have:

  • a small to average bust size
  • relatively narrow shoulders and a slight back
  • a waist that’s slim or nearly equal-sized to your chest
  • a wider or rounded behind
  • wide hips and fuller thighs

For the triangle shape your biggest fashion challenge is to restore balance in your silhouette by creating a strong shoulder line, playing up your assets of your short torso and de-emphasizing your lower body.

  • Pair V-neck blouses with wide-leg pants or an A-line skirt to create an hourglass shape.
  • Choose wrap dresses in a matte jersey in delicate patterns with a dark background. Hem your dresses to knee-length or just above the knee to make your legs seem longer and your hips look smaller.
  • Look for mid-rise boot-cut jeans with large back pockets and a wide waistband.
  • Select jackets that are fitted through the bust and waist but gently flare over the hips.
  • Try colourful scarves around your neck to add volume to your top half or wearing drop earrings to draw the eye up.
