What good is knowledge if you don’t get to use it, right? Identifying your body shape is one thing, dressing according to is another. If you identify as a triangle body shape, then this is for you.

Take it from our personal stylist’s, looking great and feeling confident doesn’t require a body type. Confidence stems when you are dressed in what is made for you.  

 

 1. What is a triangle body type?

A triangular body shape is characterised by a fuller lower body and a relatively narrower upper body. A defined waist and narrow shoulders are also indicative of a triangle body type. 

 2. Expert advice to dress your body type.

It’s important to understand a few things before jumping to the specifics. 

• Balance:

  Your body shape isn’t based on your weight, it’s based on your bone structure. Use your clothes to create a balance between your upper and lower body.  

• Attention:

  Use colours and lines to create focus on where you want it to be. Bright colours will always draw more attention than neutrals, so will prints and patterns more than solids.

 

 3. Do’s for triangle body shape

• Highlight your upper body:

If you have a triangle body shape, then it’s always advisable to highlight your shoulders and bust.

• Voluminous tops: Go for tops that already have enough volume in their structure to help you add more to your body. 
• Layering your top: You always also layer your tops with the help of an additional jacket or blazer to create more volume in your upper body. 
• Opt for these necklines for a triangle body shape: Necklines such as boat neck, cowl neck and square shapes will help you highlight your upper body. 

 

• Accentuate your waist:

  Highlighting your already defined waist will balance out your narrow shoulders and fuller lower body. 

• Opt for these skirts if you are a triangular body shape: Skirts that highlight your waist and not hug your lower body are the way to go. Such as tulip skirts, A-line and even knife pleated skirts. 

 

• The right trouser for triangle body type:

  any trouser or jeans that has a skinny fit or hugs you tightly is a no go for triangle shape body type. 

• Opt for these trousers: Always choose trousers that are flowy and wide legged. Such as boot cut jeans, wide leg pants and even straight fit jeans.

  4. Don’ts for triangle body shape

• Skinny jeans and lowers:

• Bright Coloured lowers:

  colours always draw eyes towards them, it’s advisable to wear them on your upper body.
