I have an inverted triangle body, but I hate the clothes that make me look good.
I love the ones that are good in pear-shaped bodies, but I know I look ugly as hell.
So I just hide.
This is literally me :,)
Each to their own I suppose
You're funny and your name seems like a brazilian name hehehe
Luisa Lima mine is straight body type it's so easy and fun to style! inverted triangle is a hassle for me since I am not too comfortable with wearing revealing clothes and alas you have too show bust or legs or something else to hide your problem area the shoulders 😔
Luisa Lima too
I literally hated all the clothing she mentioned. Why meeeeeeeeeee, damn my wide shoulders.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
samee... except palazzos i loveee them, so happy they flatter me
same here . they're definitely not my style. but who cares im gonna wear what i like and feel comfortable with 😅
its not just you sis... i suffer from this same curse
Same
Nice video! I naturally have an inverted triangle shape (not because I'm an athlete). I would add this: many models have this body shape; it is the most desired one for models because they frame the clothes well and are very stately on the runway!! Your shoulders are not something to "hide"; rather, you just want to avoid making them appear wider. Halter tops are great because they cut the line of the shoulder, and other body types cannot wear these as well! "V" necklines have the same effect. On bottom, wide skirts and palazzo pants look good because they balance the frame. However, this also depends on the height of your waist - I have a short waist and long legs, so wide, long skirts and pants are great for me. You don't need to only wear long tops. They look good, but consider this: your slender bottom half is an asset! I like to wear shorter, loose tops with skinny jeans or leggings (not cropped, but tops that end just below my waist). This look can be casual or very elegant; either way it looks effortless. Also, tops that highlight your back, as Justine said, because many inverted triangle girls have well-developed arms and back. My girlfriends are also asking how my arms look so lean, but really that is a natural product of my body type! In terms of fitness, if you're looking to "improve" an inverted triangle figure I would suggest focusing extra time on all the abdominal muscles (obliques especially!). I have to focus on this area because it's more difficult for us to keep our waist smaller than our hips, since our hips are narrow to begin with! But this will give you more freedom with your wardrobe!! So flaunt your assets: long and lean on bottom, elegant and stately on top! 😊
sovrappensiero1 thank you for giving me confidence on my body type.
sovrappensiero1 Thanks for the great advice! My body type is not as rare as I originally thought!
sovrappensiero1 oh my gosh thank you! I am not long...I'm short 😝 hehehe...I am into fitness! And obliques are my nemesis! I just feel weak there! Maybe it's a feature of having less length or leverage there? Thanks for the extra motivation to make the best of my shape! I have always LOVED palazzos! Will try! (Luckily my legs proportionally aren't short looking even though I am petite)...I had a realization about wide leg pants and white pants...there's this thing where white pants are always sexy, has anyone noticed? :) :P ANYWAY! Problem is, they can sometimes look TOO sexy and risk not being very tasteful...o realized this is BC people wear white pants too tight. I noticed the best white pant looks I love the most have width in common- it's still always sexy the white pant- but a looser wide leg is my favorite I think it's more sophisticated, looks more 'business-y', great to have the breeziness in a hot summer- painted on pants can get sweaty and uncomfortable. Anyway thanks for the fashion & body con & FITSPO lady! :) 💕✌️
Thank you so much this really helps a lot. I have discovered a way to love my body shape. 😍😊
Thank you so much
I've found that tulip shaped dresses or skirts are super flattering for inverted triangle shapes because they add volume to the hips, help balance out the shoulders and create kind of an hour glass shape :)
+Esther Villanueva exactly!
Justine Leconte officiel hi, really interesting videos on body type. I am actually confused as to wat my body type is ....it's either an inverted triangle or an apple. pls help me out!
Yes, tulip (or bell-shaped) dresses and skirts are my favorites. They are not as boring as A-shaped and add the necessary bulk to the hips.
Totally agreed!
i have a small waist so my hips look bigger than they are so they create the illusion of an hourglass shape which distracts from my wide shoulders. I wear bubble like tops that don't hide my waist. Another recommendation is to wear thick straps if you have wide shoulders or go strapless and highlight the decolletage
I also have no butt... 😑😢😢
Bichtram Nguyen same
But shapers. Really.
I have No butt, but i have hips and thighs and i am confused
@@fangev4665 love the profile photo haha gerard way
@@adrenaline1583 he is indeed the saviour of the broken
I knew I looked better in long sleeves but I didn't know why. I don't like loose though. Hanging from my large bust and shoulders it makes it look like I'm fat when I have a small waist.
same
Same! When I wear looser shirts I look pregnant ☹️ Or like a tent.
Ditto.. like in a large bag!
Me too..wide shoulders and big boobs but small waist .. I look fat..why☹️
Try wearing a waist cincher as I like to, a mini vest type piece that pulls in at the waist or under the bust. The top underneath just gathers in and it looks good with any length! The cowgirl look with a waist tied shirt also works.
this body shape is great when you are fit as soon you get weight 😣😣it looks really not that great
Yazid Alami I agree. I definitely have to stay fit, or I look pretty bad.
Tina now im having hard time actualy im having identity problem hhh because i used to have model body 2 years back before my pregnancy now i look dispropotioned size 12
It is rough, isn't it? It took me about 4 years to get back into shape, and I didn't even get started on working on it until my youngest child was 3 years old. I was already nearly 40 years old when I started regaining my fitness, and it took forever! Good luck. All I can say is that for me, I had to make just one small change at a time and to just keep at it.
haha i inow the feeling. having this body shape has made me obsessed with dieting ):
You have to stay slim for this body shape and I learnt it the hard way... the moment you gain weight it’s super hard to lose it but at the same time no matter how hard you try to lose weight it never goes back to how it used to be. Am I the only one?
Inverted body types can experiment with their bottoms, they can wear patterns, prints, pleats. Keep the top fuss free.
I’ve always felt insecure for having an inverted triangle shape because I hate my wide shoulders.
But this really helped thank you justine
Inverted triangle here:
I have found that bottoms (skirts and pants) that flair out from the waist and hips do wonders for balancing out shoulders.
I have also found that tops with an empire or waist-hugging features create a waist and hips lol also helping to balance out the upper and lower halves.
Additionally, wearing belts at the waistline, double-wrapped, work really well and create a waist continuing to balance out the upper and lower half of the body.
I try to wear a horizontal pattern on bottom and solids on top, and if solids on top, I make sure to go with vertical to create a long and slender illusion.
Hope this helps!
Ah but I love my tiny waist, I don't wanna hide it :P Maybe I need to do more squats and build those hips more..but I don't think I care enough to make the effort hehe I've always loved my shoulders, they make me feel invincible. I hope they make my fellow inverted triangle ladies feel that too! xx
Haha totally agree! I didn't lift all those weight just to hide my shoulders and back! In stead I feel strong and confident when they show :D
I wish more women realized that hourglass is not the only sexy shape.. Being a slim inverted triangle makes me feel like a model but also dainty due to my height and narrow frame. So, small, but powerful! :)
But my problem is that I really like my small waist. But I can't wear tight clothes because it makes my shoulder wider.
Omg.
Then try wearing a tight top and tucking it in high-waisted maxi skirt or palazzo pants for example.
Then you can wear tight tops with wide pants. I personally look really good with tight long sleeves BUT only when i wear some gypsy looking pants( like the ones aladdin wear lol) because those kind of pants hide my really skinny legs and make me look more hourshape than inverted triangle. Its literally all about balance.
just wear them. ur probably sexy anyways...
Same...
Wear tight long sleeve shirt
Petite Inverted Triangle Styling (For ladies (not girls, expect it to be a little bit revealing and daring))
THIS IS REALLY LONG, BEAR WITH ME.
Warning: THIS IS REALLY LONG. I didn't study styling. But through buying clothes online, I started to take interest. For me, it's about doing balance and emphasizing. So, forgive me if my advice doesn't go with your expectations. I think that the measurements should focus on the shoulders, waist, and hips. Colors and prints have an impact too. Even the difference of shades of colors. Also, the formation of prints. How the clothing is also coordinated with each other to build an outfit. For me, the definition of an inverted triangle body is a body that has wide shoulders, small waist and narrow hips. The bust is a minor focus. These measurements are what is obviously seen when looking at a body from a far distance.
These are just advice, help and guide for those who are looking for one. WEAR WHAT YOU WANNA WEAR AND SLAY IT!
The shade of the color has to flatter your skin. Determine your skin type before choosing a color. Just because you are an inverted triangle, doesn't mean dark colors for tops will always look good on you with every shade.
Okay, so starting with the top..
-If you have big bust, wear a top that exposes a little sneak peak of the bust.
Example: Sleeveless V-neck Choker Crop Top (a crop top so that there is way for the high waisted pants, and thick straps to slim the shoulders. Ladies who have big bust usually have wide shoulders)
-If you have small bust, you can be skinny or a little chubby. With visible collar bones. Wear something to show off the collar bones.
Example: Long sleeves Maroon V-neck bodysuit
-If you have bony or skinny shoulders, wear a halter top.
Example: Bondage Halter Top (dark brown)
-If you have chubby shoulders or with a little big muscle, wear a halter strap with thick straps that covers the back with halter as well, or go for the safe look. Sleeveless (muscle tee like) v-necks.
Example: back to back halter top dark blue
For the waist, avoid giant ass belts. Like waist trainers looking ass belts or those belts that are bulky, wide and lengthy. No no no! It will emphasize the inverted triangle shape. We will put balance to it. Use waist trainers when you are at home only and at the gym. Dont wear em out.
Hips:
Belts like gucci, the small ones are cute already. Get a bling belt (small ones), add pins, etc . Whatever that gives attention to the hips.
For the trousers, well, this ones tricky.
"How am I going to look tall, at the same time, I my lower body to look wide?"
Okay so, this is the deal. For beginners, once bottoms are printed or light colored, tops should be plain to give focus to the bottoms.
High waisted flare jeans
High waisted Light acid washed jeand
White jeans
Printed or colorful pencil skirts
Peplums skirts
Tube Jumpsuits with light colour
Skater skirts
Etc.. you know the drill. High waisted the best if youre shorty
Shoes should be..
Nude heels (u need this trust me)
Chunky heels
Pointed toes (theyre hot okay)
White sneakers (they make u look tall)
Nice!! I like this simple break down some I've known, but there are a few that are new to me. thanks so much for taking the time to share!
Ok, but what if you are already too tall?!? 😂
Great advice, do you have a channel would love to get more advice from you 👍
Would like to add a little bit about prints and colors and accesories. (I’m petite 4’8 inverted triangle)
First of all... Don’t avoid prints and colors, make them work for you. Be careful with huge prints though, because they can easily emphasize that you’re petite and make you look even smaller in size than you are.
I use printed colorful skirts (tailored pencil skirts, tulip or new-look skirts) to visually enlarge my lower part. The eye is caught by bright colors and they automatically appear slightly bigger than the other parts.
Also, i use prints and textures that create flattering “narrow waist and wider hips” structure: prints that have curved lines, color blocks, textured lines on the knitted fabric etc.
As for accessories, you should try to align the handbag with your hips level, it will work as visual volume booster. Being petite i avoid wearing too large handbags, they make me look like a small kid or a traveller on her way to the airport.
I understood every word. You got it right fellow inverted sister!
I have a really marked inverted triangle shape: wide shoulders, broad back, big breasts, small hips. I will never wear skinny jeans. A halter top looks fine, but the straps must be wide. V-necks are best; deep scoop necks are good. Boat necks, crew necks, and turtle necks are terrible. Peplums are excellent. Pencil skirts look terrible. Three-quarter sleeve length is good.
Tina omg I have exactly the same body and i HATE it. I have noooo hips at all, humongous back n biggg shoulders and just a very manly figure from my dad 🙄🙄
Sounds like when I gain weight more than 115lbs I turned into inverted triangle shape lol
Turtle necks look good on me, am also an inverted triangle. Just pair turtle neck with wide leg pants or maybe bootcut pants.
I'm tall and was always athletic. One might call it a swimmers body. When I wear tank tops I look for wider straps. I look for tank tops that flare possibly with an empire waist. This applies to summer dresses too. Spaghetti straps look terrible.
Mackenzie Valentine I agree....spaghetti straps are awful on me. I suppose it's just as well, b/c I would never leave my house without a bra. I own a strapless bra, but....it almost never gets worn. Just "not enough" !
Amazing tip!
Spaghetti straps look great. However, it truly depends on the neckline, better with a "v" shape and lower. They work well when they cross over in the back too.
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 💖
I’m an inverted triangle and my wardrobe consists of tight jeans and tops that show off my waist and shoulders and I feel confident and genuinely look my best in these clothes...long story short wear what you want and don’t let your body type determine your style
same as you, i love my inverted body type because i dress like a tomboy, but when it comes to a feminine look, i dont look that flattering, if i don't choose the type of clothes carefully, it will make me look like a man try to wear a woman clothes, and i find these kinda tips really helps( for feminine look), but for daily wear, i feel confident with my shoulder, it makes me look strong :)
I feel like I'm some kind of weird combination of rectangle, hourglass, and inverted triangle. My measurements tell me that I'm a rectangle, but my waist dips in too much that I really LOOK too much like a rectangle. My waist looks more like a slight hourglass. But then when I wear some tanktops, my shoulders look super wide and I usually think that my shoulders make me look very awkward. What the heck kind of type am I???
same!
I can relate .
Also my bodycomposition is a mess, like I have muscular shoulders & veiny arms like a man, skinny fat, feminine upperbody and a kinda fat, really curvy lower body.
I think mine is a mix between inverted triangle, pear and hourglass, because I don't really have boobs, I have a teeny-tiny waist, but my hip dips are huge and my shoulders are wide😅
But there's Kibbe, which may help you, I think I'm a Soft Natural/Theatrical Romantic, so I try to experiment with the clothes, which type should I wear and stuff. The problem is, that I really like Dramatic's stuff and cute Gaminish clothes, when feeling confident, I like to wear bodycon and all of that is against my type. 🙄
This is literally my body! I find it so hard to understand which category my body fits into.
A-line or full-skirted all the way!
Also, I’ve recently discovered high waisted bottoms (a late adopter), which have made my already long legs look ridiculous... which I enjoy 😉
My shoulders makes me loose my confidence :(
ME TOO.
sanny blue it’s also becaue of social media where the « best » body type is hourglass or pear body... i found it’s sad
Try showing them off (even if it makes you uncomfortable) and you might begin to like them! I use highlighter to make my shoulders and collarbones pop and it makes them look more sharp and sexy instead of “bony”
yeah, I am 6'2 and have broad shoulders. Talk about feeling out of place as a woman...
I feel like that too sometimes, but I kinda made peace with how I look. I also think I was heavily influenced by irrealistic beauty standards growing up, for example in the 80s and 90s the inverted triangle was considered the ideal body type, most supermodels had that figure. Even though we don’t conform to what we see online we can still be cool and have fun with our wide shoulders, that’s how things are, it feels better when you accept it.
wow this video is actually informational and not shaming of any body types! really great job. I've watched lots of these types of videos and this one was the best 💖
P.S. It seems I'm not alone in gaining weight in my mid-section, so I'm kind of an inverted triangle/apple. But really, what I have is a pot belly. Would love a video about styling THAT body type: Wide shoulders, narrow hips, flat butt, round tummy. If I'm not careful, I can look like a lima bean in profile and people ask me if I'm pregnant!
I thought I'm d only one who has this body shape....than xxxx dear
+Esther Esther you are definitely not the only one 😊
Loved the video and absolutely love the way you make everybody type feel beautiful, no matter what their flaws are . Love your smile , you smile through your eyes
Beautiful make up Justine !!! You look great as always, and you give great advice ! Thank you so much
I watch all your videos because you're soo adorable when you talk and laugh. Not to mention I learn a whole bunch of things I never heard before! Keep uploading! :)
I just found your channel today and I can say that you give me confidence of my own shape and thank you so much for the tips. Even without music, listening to you is not awkward and you are adorable
I truly appreciate ALL of your videos, you seriously help me so much in all ways!!!
I dislike how everyone is trying to hide their shoulders. My shoulders are about 2cm wider than my hips, so technically I am an inverted triangle, but I can easily pass as an hourglass, but I actually LOVE to accentuate my shoulders with puffy sleeves and ruffles and pretty much anything. It makes my waist appear even smaller than it is and creates that 80's/90's Barbie shape that I love. If you really don't feel comfortable, I don't recommend hiding your shoulders, instead accentuate your hips, and you'll get an hourglass silhouette.
Such a good video with loads of information I was getting quite down about my shape and now I realise there's so many things I can do to flatter it 😁🥰 thanks alot x
As I’m starting my transition from make to female you have been a beacon for me . Thank you so much
I am short and an inverted triangle and i love to wear ‘new-look’ silhouette knee-length skirts and dresses, because they give me the volume around my hips and make me look very feminine, almost like an hourglass.
Tulip dresses and skirts also are very good in terms of balancing the proportions.
I also use basques (tops, dresses with basque, basque belts etc.) to give me the volume from my waist down to my hips. Just make sure the basque is long enough to cover your hip joints, not contrasting color and stiff enough to actually give you the lines you need.
Using some pleats or ruffles can also be a good choice.
When i’m not in a “girlish” mood, i choose to wear A-silhouette mini dresses, like Twiggy wore back in 60s - without any accent on my waist and hips.
Or i can just wear my high-waisted skinny jeans with some loose top - and it also looks fine on me, because i look sporty without trying too hard.
ur right about the racer top i have one thats in my favorite color in graphic design and its surprisd me how good it was on
A line dresses or skirts are perfect to balance your shoulders. I use this trick all the time. Also, always wear v-neck tops I find are the only this I can wear. I stuggle loving my body type because of my small hips and large waist. When I gain weight it's always on my belly and my arms.... dressing my body can be hard...
Same. 😅
Oh, I love your tips for inverted triangle. Thank you so much.
I've learned
Wow! I thought I was a different type but ALL the tips make 100% sense! I can’t wait to try a new take on what I wear and to feel more confident.
I am an older inverted triangle and I love my wide shoulders which gives my body great structure as I age! We can gain a bit of weight and nobody notices lol. I like to wear A-line skirts and swing dresses because the width at the hemline balances my shoulder width and so I feel I look a bit more feminine. I don’t know about other body shapes, but for me good posture is important. I hope all of you inverted triangles learn to love your shape because when you are my age you will see what I mean!
Love your videos! They're super informative and your voice is lovely.
Hi Justine, Thank you for this video, very helpful :) As always!
I would like to add that I recently bought a long sleeve hooded blouse in the juniors section. The blouse was designed with laced up ribbons on the left and right seams similar to how you would laced up a shoe. I decided to try on this blouse and I was amazed at how well it gave my body the impression of an hour glass figure. So I'd highly recommend this style as well.
Hey! I'm a fashion designer and a stylist from Kuwait and have a video about this. Thank you, Justine, for all you do.
i hve wide shoulders and small hips and even after putting on weight in my tummy i still notice my shoulders a lot. today i gave away all my loose tshirts. the slimmer fits make my waist the focus and you confirmed what id been thinking for a while - that long sleeved tops are the best thing ever on me. thanks again xxx
+Sarah W glad it helped!
I am 59. I would never wear most of these clothes. I wear v-neck and structured wrap dresses in quality fabrics.
Thank you for an informative video!
My sisters and I all have inverted triangle body shapes and are about 6 ft. We have all struggled with insecurity about not appearing feminine. This video has made me feel so normal and beautiful! Finding clothes has been a struggle especially because the trends and styles that are popular often don’t compliment my body type! I am getting married soon and I would love to see a wedding dress video for inverted triangle body types!! I have been following you for years and I love your content! ❤
Princess wedding dress, you will be surprised how elegant it looks on an inverted (not childish at all)
Very informative and to the point 👍
Thank you
You're adorable! I could just hug you. Sorry I'll leave now...
+antisuicideoverdose thanks!
you're amazing!! thank you!!
You are so sweet and what an amazing video❤️ I naturally have an inverted body shape. Thanks to your simply explained videos I now know I am not a freak of nature! Yes I have always felt like my shoulders were to wide...made me feel boyish. Almost always wider than other girls....being 5’ 10” I always stick out in a crowd! But thanks to you I know what I’ve got and love it! I’m looking forward to dressing it up the way you explained so greatly!🤗🤗
Hi, Justine. Thanks for making this video. Most of the information in it is spot-on for me. I've noticed for years that long sleeves, V necklines, racerback tops, palazzo pants and maxi-skirts look great on me, and now I know why. The only one of your suggestions that I can't wear is long tunic-style tops, because I'm also petite with short legs, and tunics make my legs look even shorter.
zanna186 Try them with leggings and heels, u ll see.
Omg ✨🌟 you are a life saver
Finally I have the right advice on what to wear for my body type. I'm average height so a pair of high heel boots is an accessory that is very flattering. Thanks you !
Thank you so much! I am a rectangle, but understand now I can do whatever shape I want! How exciting and how daunting for when I go shopping. You've helped me out of being confused with my body type.
+Andrea Guidera great 🤗
Justine, THIS ist the perfect makeup for you!!! Wow, so classy 😉
I love my skinny jeans with loose tops (not too stiff material though)... and circle skirts. I feel those are quite flattering as well.
s I'm a mixture of an apple shape and inverted triangle, I like wearing some knitted tops that have a triangle-y shape opening, like somewhat of an upside down V-neck opening that shows some part of my shoulders and neck on the top and goes all the way to the sides where almost my armpits start. I like that opening but sadly it's either the fashion designers don't like that or maybe the time is gone for that type of Blouse neck openings...:) THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR GREAT TIPS! I WISH I COULD MEET WITH YOU IN PERSON SOME DAY WHEN YOU VISIT LA!!!
Thank you so much Ma'am for a very helpful tips. It will be a lot of help for my type of body shape God bless.
My tips (totally agree with long skirts and wider bottoms) if I find a button-up shirt that fits I can never button it all up anyway but the vertical and v-neck helps, plus any top that can regulate (or well just keep it open) the width on the top part is great (buttons,zippers). Longer necklaces, and big scarves. I love a look of tanktop, casual dress and a scarf puffed around my neck with the triagle facing front. Bigger puffier shorts work well too for me and show off thin legs :)
WoW for the white long skirt!!!
Everything is wow wow wow (clothes and advices) BUT THE WHITE LONG SKIRT IS MY DREAMY SKIRT★★★
Merci encore pour cette vidéo, elle est très pratique pour se donner une idée du monde du stylisme ou du conseil en image. Tes vidéos sont simples à comprendre et concises, donc sincèrement continue ce que tu fais je suis fan ^^
+Ben G Merci 😘 C'est adorable!
Great video, Justine!!! I think your advice is spot on about the body types.
When I examine my shape, I find that I can have more of an hourglass body type when I am on the thinner side. When I gain 15 pounds or more, I find that my body shape changes a bit to be more like an inverted triangle. I find that my shoulder area become much more prominent. So, I think I could possibly have a slightly changing body type depending on my weight.
Currently, I am working on losing weight (which I've gained over the years as a consequence of some health issues) and so far I have lost 20 pounds. This weight loss really makes me appear more hourglass, because as I lose the excess weight, my shoulder area also loses weight and it sort of evens out with my hips. I do tend to have a well defined waist (even when I am over weight). My current measurements are 43"/36"/44". At my healthiest and thinnest, they were 35"/25"/36".
I am looking forward to working with my shape the best I can as it changes over the years, as I get older, to accentuate the best angle. One thing I am so looking forward to doing is wearing more dresses and skirts. My personal style is more classic and timeless and I love to look feminine, although I don't particularly look good in clothes that are more tending towards "romantic" as much. I would say I gravitate toward a more structures/tailored classic, elegant and feminine style.
Thank you for all the good information you share. I find it all very good and helpful. :)
+Oly MH thanks!
I think I have that similar. I have gain weight two. Both bust and hips are big but waist, it's bit defined.
Omggggg loving your advice, really having problem with my body shape, problem on what will i wear everyday, shoulders wide arms big legs slim 😩😩😩😩😩
Thanks so much! Would love to see this for men... as they want to look masculine of course, but still balanced!
i LOVE this channel
Thanks Justine
I have that body shape, and with time i learned to love my wide shoulders, so i really don't mind if my inverted triangle body is too obvious. I like showing my shoulders. And there other factors, as size and tallness to decide what kind of clothing suits better.
I have a picture of me with 3/4 armlength and a skinny jeans. I have this triangle shape and now I know why i look so wired on that photo. I totally agree with wearing long skirts, shirts that go over the hips and long armsleves. Skinny jeans work but not low waist. I wear also wide trousers and one of the best is aladin style. Also long cardigans, loose shirts, but I definitely will catch up on Rene Zellweger to see some more styles. Thanks Justine!
wow!..this helps me a lot..thank you..
I am smiling while watching. She is contagious when smiling.
I’m square shouldered and a 12/14 in the bust - a size 12 waist and an 8/10 on the bottom. And only 5’2”...so my favorite is a long loose open front cardigan jacket with the pointy front hem (not sure what they’re called)..but it’s swingier at the hips and helps create a longer vertical line when it contrasts with a matching top and skirt.- especially when worn with a high crew or turtle neck and a long A line skirt. Yep, ankle length skirt...2” heels also help a lot!
Your smile is really pretty and warm lovely. I don't know I just feel really comfortable just by watching this video
Love your videos. Btw you look great with these earrings and the bold lip
Loving the videos! Would you consider doing one for short torsos?
love this earrings- especially in combination with the lipstick!
Love your videos! Fit and flare dresses or A line skirts can make this body type appear hourglass.
Hi wearing a longer top to lengthen your bodys is ok if you are not short, being short we are told to wear tops shorter so the legs dont look so short.
+linda alden the question is whether you want to highlight your shoulders or not. The leg length is another matter & here you are right: short tops can be a good option. I don't have a video for petite women unfortunately...
Justine Leconte officiel can you make one? I have this problem too! 😖
Justine Leconte is it possible for you to make it? Please
Justine Leconte officiel please 🙏 im short and have big boobs, combined with the inverted triangle shape. help me please!!
Amen amen. Us short, busty gals with an inverted triangle are hard to dress sometimes!
Thank you! I totally fit in this body type!
+Gema Zavala great!
I love your gorgeous earrings!
I love your videos, keep going! ;)
+Ebru Dengiz Thank you! 😅
Wow, thank you Justine. I have a V-shape body and I am always straggling with my clothes. Could you please make a second video (part II) including more examples of outfits and clothes for a V-shape body? Please :) What about the wedding dress?
I really like her videos.. but i always feel that the goal is to never embrace your shape but to aim to be another shape. You can hide all the "imperfections" you have, but the main goal is to always find something that will suit your shape. "This will make you look like an hour glass, that's extremely sexy". I've kept my mouth shut about it cause its a constant thing I see in her videos. I do like her work, it just seems the end goal is to look "feminine" but femininity is fluid. Just my two cents, I was a pear shape and now I am an hour glass. I wanted to see her other videos.. but I can honestly say it makes me cringe. I do think her layout is great, so I give her that.To all my inverted triangle women, you are sexy and feminine :)
AirFire18 lol I wrote some essay before, but anyway the gist of it is, at the beginning of the video she says this video is for wide shouldered women who think their shoulders look manly and want to look "feminine" before that she says, people may have worked for their wide shoulders and love it so this video is not for those people. the dressing your body type videos are generally for people who think they have enough of a body part and want to emphasise the others. I use to believe people should wear what they want to wear and all this body type nonsense should stop, but funnily enough, I hated how I looked (especially from behind in the changing rooms in H&M) when my shoulders looked especially wide. and i loved some clothes but didnt know why, and I never correlated the "dressing for your body type" to my issue. now I know, so sometimes I balance and sometimes I deliberately do the shoulder thing like Angelina jolie in her example.
I'm fully aware of wanting to find what may help you with your end goal, however language is the key and in other videos she makes it clear that our shape is the less desirable. Not taking into consideration that a preteen might be watching her video and ruining her self esteem. The reality is, i was a pear shaped.. but i worked out a lot and now i feel better about my body. I realized now my shoulders have moved and thats okay. But, her videos are constant - feminine and masculine quotas and frankly i think the industry needs to bend over and realize that things overlap. Again, she knows her work but i think she could work on her language.
Justine, what a wonderful find of a channel!Absolutely love your videos! I wonder though, as an athletic, naturally slim BUT petite woman (just over 5’4) with inverted triangle body, who also almost never wear high heals, is there any adjustment to the dressing suggestions as in the video? I want to wear longer tops as you mentioned but then I’m Also very scared to have my legs look even shorter! (This short girl honestly envy your hight!!!) Thanks! Xx
Hello!! I just found your cannel and im absolutley in love!!!! Awesome advice. I am a super introverted tiangle and i love my shoulders but i know that they can work against me in some cases!!
First of all, I love your videos, Justine. I'm not sure about these particular tips though. I am naturally an inverted triangle, and this is accentuated even further by the fact that I am a rock climber. I find that the clothes you mentioned here, which are meant to balance out my proportions, systematically make me look and feel like something I'm not. I admit that I do get fed up with the width of my shoulders, but only because no one seems to make clothes that fit them; beyond that, I think my silhouette ratio actually looks very good: both athletic and feminine. Unfortunately, it has taken me very long to simply embrace my morphology. It's just a shame we don't value this as a feminine shape.
Good on you. And thank you for your post! I’m an inverted triangle, a very boyish figure. I love it. I’m a former dancer. Ballet costumes accentuate wide shoulders, narrow hips, long legs. I “lean into” that shape and feel complimented when people ask “Are you a dancer?” You must also feel complimented when people acknowledge your athletic abilities.
A collared white shirt is a timeless classic, and if you unbutton it a little, creating a v neck, looks incredible
A style of dress that helps me is long or 3/4 sleeve empire style dresses of tea or full length. I am short and busty so the line of an empire draws attention to my bust, not my shoulders. Also my waist and hips appear less noticeable in difference. Also, in tops, a tunic type with longer, flowing sleeves draws attention away from my shoulders paired with the skirt or pant type as you suggested also works well for me. I do have a question Justine: how do I find tops for business attire that do not give me a blocked or masculine look? Most jackets tend to give my body that look... thank you for your help!
+Snow Angel You might want to try my 'trick' for business jackets. I take out the shoulder pads. If you are not an experienced seamstress, try it on an inexpensive jacket first.
I have this shape ,some tips that i follow...whenever i wear tight tops or blouses i make sure i wear pallazo pants like for bottoms or bulky skirts at the bottom.When it comes to skinny jeans i love wearing them with loose tops or blouses ,or peplum tops if the blouse is not long enough or i wear something with frills at the hips.
Darker shades on top, brighter lighter on bottom
I am an inverted triangle with no waist, short legs and I tend to gain weight mostly on my (inner) thighs so picking clothes is a real struggle. 🙄
thnku so much for this video...I will follow ur advise
+Shagufa Noor cool! Glad you liked it 😁
how to make chicken soup
I like my shape and don't want to look skinnier or more like an hourglass. All shapes are beautiful.

Fantastic videos!! Perfectly formulated, Perfectly explained 👌. But I still got confused 😕. Couldn't figure out what type I actually am. I guess somewhere between inverted triangle 🔺️ and rectangle type. Is it possible? And Should I keep tips for both body shapes in mind? Thank you so much 💓 💗
Kim Cantrell is another good example ! Great video
I need some more information on this topic please make another part.
Cindy Crawford is an inverted triangle and she wears belts alot and low or mid rise jeans. She also always wears flowy tops tucked in half or so.
Very good video thanks
+Meera Jasmine welcome!
Thank you, Justine for all the great videos. I too am an inverted triangle but I am also petite. So...confusing. Please do try to help we petite women with a video.
I'm a V with a long torso, small bust, a defined but not small waist, no hips or butt and shorter, thicker legs. I always LOVE A-line skirts or dresses that hit just above the knee and cinch in at my natural waist but hide the fact that I have slim hips and no butt and hide my thick thighs. I like empire waisted dresses with A lines as well. I can't wear smock styles or loose fitting because I look bigger than I am. I do love loose fitting long sleeve tops that fit at my hips because it tends to balance me out a bit.
thanks for the tips justine :D im gonna try a long skirt someday
+pamela Ibáñez Rojas great 👍👏
i love this video and i am inverted triangle shape but this tips (except racer back and halter top tip) dont work for me because i am short ToT palazo pants just swallow me, and long skirts make me look bad haha. what works for me is showing off my legs (to elongate me) and more flared out skirt with maybe a tighter top :-) also i noticed as inverted triangle i dont gain weight in my butt/hips/legs so thats why i wear short skirts too
Handmade Dokis I have a tip for that. I suggest you to wear a bit more tight-fitting tops. You already wear short skirt so you are close to it! But the "secret" is that you should wear shorts/short skirts that add volume to the hips. For example a bubble or knife pleated skirt (in your case it would be best if it's high-waisted).
