IT'S ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY !!!
Just like I promised, every Saturday I will be discussing more on body structure with tips on how to know which of it you belong to.
So, Today will be on the TRIANGLE/PEAR BODY SHAPE
TRIANGLE BODY SHAPE (OR PEAR BODY SHAPE)
If you have a triangle body shape (which is the most common among women):
* Your hips are larger than your bust
* Your waist is defined and smaller than your hips
* You tend to gain weight in your hips and thighs
* You may have narrow shoulders (although again as we mentioned your body shape can change based on whether you use your bust measurements or your shoulders, so don’t get too hung up on this).
The triangle body shape consists of a larger hip measurement and a smaller waist and bust/shoulders measurement.
As a general rule we are looking for a hip measurement that is at least 2 inches larger than your shoulders, or at least 4 inches larger than your bust.
The exact calculation would be for 5% bigger hips than your shoulders or bust:
hips ÷ shoulders (or bust) ≥ 1.05
HOW TO DRESS, IF YOU BELONG TO THE TRIANGLE BODY SHAPE:
When dressing the triangle body shape we want to highlight our small waists and minimize the attention on our lower half. While it is great to have those curves, the best outfits exude a feeling of balance.
Opt for a roomier bottom that doesn’t draw attention to your larger hips. Fit-and-flare dresses work well for this body type. High-rise pants are your friend, as are straight-leg pants.
Avoid having tops that end right at your hips, or anything that has volume around your hips, as that will make your body feel unbalanced.
Puff sleeve blouses are a great option to help add some volume to your shoulders. Off-the-shoulder dresses and tops can achieve this as well.
Hope you got value from this post?
See you next week, bye!
N.B: So sorry, I have not been able to post lately as promised due to some arising issues but it has been solved.
