It’s hard being an inverted triangle shape when social media and society love wider hips with bbl’s and different procedures.

@PetiteDressing 3 года назад

I totally understand. We have quite a few inverted triangles in my FB group and the shoulder topic comes up quite often.

@gayleritter1199 4 года назад

Chi, I'm an inverted triangle with short legs. Wrap dresses are usually good as well with a tie to the side. I often have trouble being long waisted and short legged with one piece items so separarates are better. I try to buy dresses with some detail or fullness at the hip to compensate for shoulders. I feel right and hope I'm doing the right thing, I often get compliments.

@PetiteDressing 4 года назад

Hi Gayle- thanks for sharing your tips on inverted triangle! I also have a long body/short leg type, and I've found dresses can make our legs look longer...

Too all my fellow inverted triangles or any body type, your not alone, I have this body type and I been self conscious of my broad shoulders since I was little and got to the point that I would argue with my mom to not be in pictures. I hated having to wear swimsuits that only showed my body more and never wanted to take off my shirt. I’m slowing trying to find clothes that looks good on me and educating myself on my qualities from these videos and so far I’m getting positive results. I stopped wearing skinny jeans which only made my shoulders look wider and do more squats as an attempt for a butt. I want to feel more comfortable and at ease with my body because it’s my own and only have one, so I have to learn to love it everyday. I hope u all find that similar closure for urself too 💖

@kathydelarosa1286 3 года назад

I feel like people would always point out my shoulders whenever I wore tank tops or dresses. I would always be told how it looks like i work out when I did not and it made me feel so bad because I guess I did not want an athletic body type. On top of that i have hip dips .Now being more active, I do not feel as bad anymore and I don't care to have the hourglass curvy body anymore since I'm realizing all body shapes are beautiful if you pull them off. A great example of an inverted triangle body shape is Britney spears. she seems to pull off hip dips as well and seeing representation really makes a difference.

I am an inverted triangle and blazers look amazing on me. My go-to casual style is a plain t-shirt, high-waisted skinny jeans, high-heeled booties(any type of shoe is fine really) and a blazer. I also have a slim body so people always think I'm model. Lmao

Don’t let antiquated views and society make you feel bad about yourself. Broad shoulders don’t belong to men. Your natural bone structure doesn’t make you any less feminine.

@Felicia594 3 года назад

I’m this shape and very petite with short legs. I think this applies to taller women. I never like to add bulk to my lower body. It just makes you look like an apple. I think Victoria Beckham is a good example bc. She never tries to conceal her shape. She wears skinny pants and blazers. This shape is so under rated and should not be altered through cloths.

@Dakkibaby20 3 года назад

I’m just realizing I am an inverted triangle. The name does not sound appealing at all, and my shoulders are so broad! Thanks for the tips!

@yesitsmeagain9421 4 года назад

FINALLY!! A real expert. Skinny pants or jeans and slim leg pull on pants look great on inverted triangles. Especially if you have a big bust and shaply legs. It's very attractive and men love to follow the curve of your silhouette. Even if you have weight in your tummy the slim fit pants with elastic waist will cinch you in. I've seen too much bad advice recommending wide leg trousers. Those are horrible for ITs who carry belly weight.

@MyaMango1 3 года назад

The manly physique of an inverted triangle only comes into play when your arms bulk up due to being overweight or lifting heavy weights. If inverted triangles slim down they look super attractive. To slim down go for walks (stay around 15,000 steps a day). Do arm exercises without weights. Check out Chloe Ting's arm exercises and you WILL see results. I learned the hard way so please learn from my experience. Was a teen model, became over weight and now back to a slim physique. 😄

@cxnnibal-qveen73 3 года назад

I always thought I was an hourglass because I have a large bust and large hips that are the same measurements and a naturally cinched in waist. But I also have broad shoulders which with the wrong kind of shirts makes my head look super small. And I'm only 4'11! So I've been switching between and mixing Hourglass and IT styling tips lately trying to figure out what's best for me. Still don't know exactly which one I am though. 😔

@beautifulcorpse8202 3 года назад

I really don't know either. My suggestion- send all your measurements, including your breast/bust size to an expert or see a tailor to measure you, who would tell you your body shape. Or you could, again, send all your measurements (breast size/cup/band/ size too) an expert through email, dm, etc. and include pictures of yourself in a mirror as well. Wear a plain bodysuit/plain one piece bathing suit or your bra/panties for better advice & feedback. I don't know any good experts on s.m. but you could definitely find one. Make sure to ask First though, don't surprise them with a pic of you on a bikini lol. Say it's strictly for feedback so that you understand your body shape/type. Good luck! ✌️

Hi Stela- peplum should work because it adds volume to your hips (typically inverted triangle has narrower hips than shoulders)!

Hi Chi, I’m quite confused whether I’m actually an inverted triangle or a rectangle; my shoulders are definitely wider than my hips but I’m not sure I look that athletic (ie. I’m not sure whether my shoulders are necessarily that broad either). What I know is that my upper arms and back are fleshier and my legs are relatively slender, with slight waist definition. Can you help me out with this? 😅

When you shop jackets, do you often feel too tight on the shoulders? That’s normally a way to tell if you are inverted triangle.

@evessentially.design 4 года назад

Petite Dressing I’d say I’m pretty much the same size for tops and bottoms, and I don’t really struggle with broad shoulder “problems” so to speak; it’s just that when I gain weight it’s always on my upper arms and back first before everything else!
