V-shaped body type: the best tips for stylish dressing!
To highlight your best features, knowing your body type is key! Whether your waist is defined or not, whether your shoulders are narrow or the same width as your hips, Trench & Coat offers coats for all body types.
With winter approaching, the coat will be the star piece of your outfits. Do you have a V-shaped body type? Don't panic, here are our tips and ideas for perfect coats for you.
The V-shape or inverted pyramid silhouette
The V-shaped body type, also called an inverted triangle, is characterized by shoulders that are wider than the hips, forming a V-shape or inverted pyramid silhouette. Women with a V-shaped silhouette often have a generous bust and slender legs, creating a feminine and harmonious figure.
The V-shaped silhouette can be enhanced with suitable cuts and materials, such as A-line dresses and skirts.
Understanding your body type
The V-shaped body type is distinguished by broad shoulders, narrow hips, and slender legs, with an undefined waist. It is essential to know your measurements to choose clothes that suit your body type.
V-shaped women should prioritize clothes that balance the width of the shoulders and highlight the legs. Style tips for V-shaped women include choosing clothes that create a vertical line to lengthen the silhouette.
How to dress with this body type?
To dress, choose clothes that balance the width of the shoulders and highlight the legs. Opt for A-line or peplum dresses and skirts to add volume to the hips. Slim pants and wide-leg or palazzo pants can also balance the silhouette.
Choose clothes made of flowing materials like cotton or linen to create a vertical line and lengthen the silhouette.
The V-shaped body type: our tips
Unlike the A-shaped body type, the V-shaped silhouette has broad shoulders and narrow hips. When choosing your coat, Trench & Coat advises you to take a size larger than your bottom size. To highlight your defined waist, we favor fluid materials, such as wool broadcloth. Also consider belted styles, like the Precious coat which is distinguished by its virgin wool belt. Straight cuts are the most flattering for you; you'll love the Caussade parka! To energize the silhouette, we recommend short coats like our iconic Mably coat.
