The Triangle
(the A shape)

The A shape woman has shoulders that are narrower than her hips and thighs.
Your aim is to draw attention to the upper body and face.
3/4 sleeves will draw the eye up to the body and away from the hip and thigh area.This will make you look taller. The wide collar on this shirt also helps to balance the hips.



Necklines can include lots of detail, especially if you have a smaller bust.
Trousers need to be bootleg, wide or a flare to balance your hips and thighs.
Keep them as long as possible so that your legs look longer and more proportionate.
Look for a centre front crease to slim and elongate your legs.
Avoid any pocket detail about the hips and thighs, keep them clean and simple.
Dresses should emphasise your small waist, and flow smoothly over your curves.
Look for vertical detailing and softly draping fabrics.
Square necklines on dresses and tops can balance your hips.



Skirts should be kneelength, A-line or have a flounce or flare at the hem line to balance your hips.
Coats can be single or double breasted, as long as they're shaped.
Avoid large patch pockets on the hips, look for wider collars and detail high up on the coat.
Trench coats can be a good option.
Jackets can be embellished with everything from a puffed sleeve, to epaulettes.
A portrait collar can balance your hips.
They should end around your hip bone, never under the bottom.
