Athletic, strong, broad-chested\u2014 these are the adjectives associated with an inverted triangle body shape. If you have this shape, then your likely issue when dressing up is that your frame might look too mannish for your liking. Can you remedy this? Absolutely. With the right choice of clothing, you can enhance your feminine features while also<\/em> flaunting the positives of your inverted triangle figure. Here’s a complete guide on how to dress an inverted triangle body type from head to toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But first, let’s define how this body shape looks like for both regular and plus size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does an inverted triangle body look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An inverted triangle body has the following characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Large breasts<\/li>
  2. Flat to average butt<\/li>
  3. Narrow hips and waist<\/li>
  4. Noticeably broader shoulders than hips.<\/li>
  5. For this reason, an inverted triangle is also referred to as a \u201cstrawberry body\u201d with a bust-waist-hip ratio of either 4-3-2 or 4-3-3.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Here’s how a regular size inverted triangle body looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n

    Note<\/strong>: Not all<\/em> inverted triangle women were originally inverted triangle bodies. In some cases, a rectangle body could morph into an inverted triangle due to muscle or weight gain.

    If you were previously a rectangle but now meet the characteristics of an inverted triangle, this guide is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to dress an inverted triangle body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Note<\/em><\/strong>: These \u201cgoals\u201d are my assumptions based on what most (read: not all) inverted triangle-shaped ladies wish their bodies to look like when dressing up. If the following \u201cgoals\u201d don\u2019t match yours, this guide isn\u2019t for you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are your likely goals when dressing up if you’re shaped like an inverted triangle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Widen your hips.<\/li>
    2. Enhance your butt.<\/li>
    3. Minimize your shoulders.<\/li>
    4. Show off your slim waist (your asset) or breasts (optional).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      You might ask<\/strong>: Why would I wanna \u201cdownplay\u201d my shoulders?<\/em>

      Most inverted triangle shaped ladies (especially plus size ones) prefer downplaying their shoulders because it balances their silhouette.

      Being top-heavy, it\u2019s very easy for an inverted triangle torso to look disproportionately larger than her lower body with the wrong cut of fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In short<\/strong>, your likely goal is to create an hourglass silhouette: slimmer shoulders, wider hips, and a more prominent booty. If these are what you’re trying to achieve, read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      BEST DESIGNS FOR INVERTED TRIANGLE BODY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If you have an inverted triangle body, then you know (by experience) that not all clothing are created equal. There are those which truly flatter, then there are those that look like a sack of potato. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But in this guide, I’ve created a list of designs that specifically look great on an inverted triangle shaped body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So wherever you shop and whatever the price range, you’ll know the why<\/em> behind your every purchase. Take note of these following designs and you can expect a painless shopping next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Plain-colored top, printed bottom<\/h3>\n\n\n

      In a nutshell, this is the general idea when dressing up an inverted triangle body. A simple top, because your bust and torso need no further enhancements. An embellished bottom, because the drama should be happening at your hips and buttocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In a simplified version, here’s how it looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
