Style Secrets for Triangle Body Types
Triangle
Figure Descriptions
Your hips and thighs are wider than your shoulders and bustline.
The triangle often has a flat tummy, rarely has “love handles,” and is well proportioned above the waist.
Your hip may broaden right under the waist but is usually widest eight inches below your waist at the “low hip.”
Your face and neck are slender.
Style Suggestions
Go for overall balance.
Broaden the shoulders, bust and upper torso with lighter colors, texture, and patterns placed there to draw attention away from width at the bottom.
Wear darker colors below waist and soft skirts such as a trumpet, fluted, gored, or flared to accommodate hips.
Slim skirts may span across the hip with not enough ease.
Separates work best, sometimes two different sizes: smaller on top, larger on bottom.
