The Trapezoid:

You have broad shoulders that tapper to your waist. This is the ideal body shape.  With this body shape you have the freedom to try almost anything. So take the time to try fun new styles and prints.

Examples:

The rectangle:

                Rectangles are the same width at the hips as they are at the shoulders. So how do you dress your body to achieve the ideal shape of a trapezoid?

 

A rectangle should wear:

 

·         Tailored jackets.  This creates long lines and creates an indent around the waist that gives the illusion of a trapezoid shape.

·         Layers. Layers are able to bulk up the body helping to define features.

·         Circular Necklines. This makes the shoulders look broad.

The Triangle:

               This is where you appear widest at the hips. 

 

A triangle should wear:

 

·         Well fitted clothes.  Clothes that don’t fit well will make you look over weight.

·         Use jackets that are either double or single breasted or that have shoulder pads (the look of). This helps to elongate the chest and adds bulk to the shoulders.

·         Wear dark colors on top.

Oval:

                Much like the rectangle you are about the same width at the shoulders as the hips. 

A oval should wear:

·         Vertical stripes or pinstripes. This lengthens the chest.

·         Wear prints or textures in darker hues.

·         Straight or boot cut jeans are the best.  They create a long line which is desirable.

Inverted Triangle:

                You typically have broad shoulders and a smaller waist then a trapezoid.

A inverted triangle should wear:

·         V-necks. V-necks are more narrow around the neck and the point at the collar directs the eye down and away from the shoulders.

·         Use centered graphic tees. This also directs the eye away from the shoulders.

·         Wear straight or boot cut jeans. Skinny or slim jeans will make your shoulders look more broad and thus the straight and boot cut creates a balance with your shoulders.

·         Contrast belts. If you are wearing a black shirt and dark jeans wear a light brown belt.  This draws the eyes to the belt and adds the illusion of wider hips.

·         Use tops that have straight lines such as vests, jackets, and some blazers.
