Dressing Your Triangle Body Shape

One thing I find super helpful is creating a Pinterest board with other women and celebrities with my body shape so that I can reference it for outfit ideas and how they style the same body shape! For celebrities with a triangle body shape, I recommend Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce! Now to the tips…Most of us want to look balanced and visually proportionate. If that’s what you’re looking to do, here’s how…simply put, minimize your lower half, and maximize the upper body. You’re thinking, “OK Erin, but how!?”

Lower Body:

Wear Dark Colors
Vertical Stripes
Full, Flared & A-Line Skirts and Dresses
Bootcut, Flared & Wide-Leg Pants and Jeans

Upper Body:

Wear Volume – Puff, Pads & Off Shoulder Tops
Dramatic Necklines
Color & Prints
Sparkle
Necklaces
