We girls have a strange need to constantly compare our figure and the figure of a friend, our own appearance and how a star looks. But everything is cognized in comparison, there we can adequately assess ourselves.
For example, you learned that - "pear". You are a little shy of your forms and have already started to change your wardrobe, but maybe you shouldn't rush? Check out celebrity body types. They are known all over the world, they are successful and confident in themselves and their natural abilities. So what's stopping you?
Hourglass Body Type, Celebrities
This figure is considered the most feminine. The famous "women-watches" have achieved a lot, perhaps thanks to their external data. Monica Bellucci, Jessica Simpson, Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, as well as the legendary Sophia Loren and Marilyn Monroe can be called bright representatives of type-X.
Full hips and solid breasts attract viewers and speaks of the owner's sensuality, because Latin American performers often embody sexuality and attractiveness. Although pear and hourglass body types are popular in the West, celebrities can still be slim and flat.
Pear-shaped stars»
It should not be surprising that celebrities of the post-Soviet space practically did not find a place for the type of figure "Pear". If a woman is already distinguished by such a figure and performs on stage, then we are talking about a star of the past generation, a woman of middle age or older. In Russian show business, this is Elena Vaenga or Irina Alegrova. Young stars today should attract people, bewitch and even seduce with their appearance, because overweight not for them. So, slender, busty and long-legged girls appear on the stage, who are distinguished by narrow hips and flat tummies. The slightest change in figure is often fatal for girl group singers. Producers do not tolerate overweight, and viewers do not want to look at unattractive performers.
Western stars are less strict with themselves, but this does not mean that singers or actresses allow themselves to gain weight. On the contrary, simply being extremely thin does not become a path to fame. Beyoncé, Shakira, Aguilera, Adele, Jennifer Lopez and many other performers keep themselves in shape, but not exhausted. Perhaps, it is difficult among Western stars to find those who strictly fit the domestic standards of appearance. Among all types of star figures, it is the seductive and feminine "pear" that prevails.
The type of figure in the stars- "inverted triangle"
This body type includes Angelina Jolie, Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz, Sigourney Weaver, Renee Zellweger and Sienna Miller. All of these stunning women have narrow hips and massive torso.
Are you still complex and think Angelina Jolie is ideal? Yes, she is slim, proportional, she has gorgeous lips and eyes. But besides these charms, she is full of flaws: broad shoulders, rather narrow hips and a flat bottom. High Top Balance Figure - One wrong stylist decision immediately makes the upper body bulky. The silhouette of the star becomes similar to a conventional image of a men's dress. Jolie looks so perfect thanks to her slimness, height and stylist, of course.
Let's talk about a real Hollywood diva with a stunning smile and the title "Miss Longest Legs". Of course, we will talk about Cameron Diaz. Long legs are great, but what about a shortened torso? Broad shoulders? It's good that Diaz knows that she needs to choose outfits with top and bottom. different color... For you, too, it remains a mystery how, while acting with Tom Cruise in one film, Cameron looked the same height as him?
There is only one conclusion - you should not think that the stars are perfect. Celebrity body types are far from ideal. Their secret is choosing the right garedrob.
Celebrity Rectangle Shape Type
This type is sometimes called "athletic" or "athletic" because of its characteristic muscular shoulders, slender legs, a neat chest and an even distribution of weight throughout the body.
It should be noted that many famous all over the world beauties have exactly the "rectangular" type of figure. You may not even have noticed this, and all thanks to the fact that they always choose fashionable and correct clothes that hide their flaws.
"The shape type of a rectangle for a star is not a very good data, with which you can't get far" - you might think. But this is not the case. Are you saying that Mila Jovovich, Mischa Barton, Julia Roberts, Anna Kournikova, Keira Knightley and Gisele Bündchen are unsuccessful and ugly? On the contrary, many consider these women to be the ideals of beauty.
Apple body type, celebrities
Stars with the apple body type, like ordinary girls and women, have large breasts, however, the waist, alas, has the same volume, which in this case can no longer be called “enviable”. The middle part of the body is rounded, the belly is often pronounced.
Don't worry if you are an apple woman. Firstly, the figure can be corrected with training and the right clothes, and secondly, for many celebrities, their physique does not prevent them from always looking irresistible.
Apple celebrities include Kelly Osbourne, Britney Spears, Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Simpson, Kelly Clarkson and Queen Latiffa.
Why does the same dress look different on you and your friend, even if the weight and height are the same? It turns out that you just different types female figures. The specific type of figure will depend on the development / structure of various body tissues (muscle, fat, bone), which is largely due to genetics, although it can be corrected through exercise and diet.
All women are beautiful and individual. Each body has its own pros and cons. Therefore, in order to train more effectively, choose the right outfits and look more attractive, you need to know your body type. How to define it? We'll find out today.
The figure is the original physique, which was given by your parents ("inheritance", so to speak), because it is more predetermined by genetics than by way of life. Exercise and proper nutrition can only maintain a figure, while metabolism, fat distribution and muscle structure are extremely difficult to change without aggressive measures.
There are no ideal body types, but you can get closer to ideal using different ways- sports and, again, proper nutrition. Although the correct selection of clothes also plays an important role.
On a note! Ideas about the ideal female figure are constantly changing. So, in prehistoric times, very large women were considered attractive. In ancient times, a slender and graceful woman with long legs and small breasts was the standard of beauty.
A medieval beauty is, first of all, a mother. And therefore, the ideal figure of that time provided for the presence of a rounded abdomen, not very pronounced waist and hips - in a word, nothing feminine. This went on for a long time, but in the twentieth century, the idea of an ideal figure changed dramatically. Women with a flat stomach and long slender legs began to be considered beautiful. Then, in fact, the stereotype "90/60/90" appeared. But in reality, it is not so much individual parameters that are important as their proportion.
For this reason, they began to classify the typical features of female figures. This classification is based precisely on the proportional ratio of the shoulders, waist and hips. Honestly, it is not the only one (for more details on other classifications, read on), but we will still start with the classics. Traditionally, female figures are compared either with vegetables / fruits, or with geometric shapes, or with letters of the Latin alphabet.
Why is 90/60/90 the standard for an ideal figure? How to determine your body type?
According to the features mentioned above, there are 5 main types of female figures:
- "Apple";
- "hourglass";
- "triangle";
- "rectangle";
- Inverted triangle.
If you want to know which type you belong to, you must prepare a measuring tape and take only 3 measurements.
- Hips... Measure your thighs at their widest point, making sure that the tape is parallel to the floor.
- Waist... Determine its volume by the narrowest part (slightly above the navel), while the stomach cannot be protruded or drawn in.
- Breast... Measure volume over a regular bra without push-up, focusing on the most prominent point. Keep the tape parallel to the floor.
After that, you can start evaluating the results.
- If the volume of the hips and chest is about the same, and the waist is 20-30 cm less, then you have an hourglass figure.
- If your legs are slim and your belly, waist and chest stand out the most, then you have an "apple" ("circle").
- If the volume of the hips and chest is about the same, and the waist does not stand out very much against their background, then you are a real "rectangle".
- If your shoulders look wider than your hips, and your chest is larger than your lower body, then you are the owner of a T-shaped figure (ie, an "inverted triangle").
- Finally, if the waist is visible, and the volume of the chest is less than the volume of the hips, then you are a “pear” (“triangle”).
Now let's get acquainted with the features of each of the types of female figures in more detail.
# 1. "Hourglass" (other names: "guitar", "X figure", "eight")
The classic body type, the notorious "90/60/90" - this is just about him. Such women are distinguished by equal volume of shoulders and hips, a well-defined waist. In a word, the parameters are proportional. Excess fat, if any, is distributed over the thighs and chest, although this has its drawbacks. So, "guitars" with overweight may suffer from "ears" (also called "full hourglass"). However, even in this case, the woman does not lose her thin waist.
On a note! The X-shaped figure was considered an ideal in the days of Antiquity. And if you belong to the group of "eights", then we hasten to please: the main thing in your case is not to violate the harmonious proportions of the hips, waist and chest.
Wardrobe selection
The main task is to maintain the harmony of the bottom and top, emphasizing the curves. The X-shaped figure is good because almost any clothing will suit it., but in order to maximally emphasize the curves of the body, we recommend giving preference to:
- fitted silhouettes;
- a belt at the waist as an additional accessory;
- coats, blouses and raincoats with belts and zap a hom;
- trousers / jeans with a high waist;
- dresses and sweaters with round or V-neck;
- pencil skirt.
Clothes that are not suitable for this type of figure:
- trousers / jeans with a low rise;
- baggy outfits that hide the silhouette;
- blouses / dresses with low / high waist;
- straight cut outerwear.
Correct workouts
To maintain your figure, strength training should be interspersed with cardio training. You can resort to any kind of cardiovascular activity (two half-hour sessions a week are quite enough).
On a note! The most famous representatives of the G8 include Monica Bellucci, Marilyn Monroe, Jessica Simpson, Sophia Loren, Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson, Kim Kardashian.
# 2. "Rectangle" (other names: "square", "banana", "slender column", H-shaped figure)
In "rectangles", as noted earlier, the hips and chest are equal in volume, and the waist is either not expressed at all, or expressed, but weakly (for example, 70 cm with a chest volume of 94 cm). Obviously, this is a more athletic and athletic physique (compared to the same "eight"), in addition, it is possible to visually increase the lack of bend in the waist. Emphasizing the features of the figure in this case consists in maintaining the harmony of the hips and shoulders, and visually narrowing the waist. This can be achieved by creating additional volume elsewhere.
When a woman with such a figure gains weight, her silhouette becomes rectangular or O-shaped. Fat is deposited on the belly, forming a kind of "lifeline".
Wardrobe selection
The focus is on beautiful legs and waist, and balance is maintained between the lower and upper body. Best suited for "rectangles":
- capri pants or classic straight trousers;
- coat with a belt, fitted outerwear;
- tops with thin straps;
- jeans or tight-fitting trousers with a low / medium waist;
- outerwear (including jackets) with a straight shoulder line;
- a-line skirt;
- dresses with zap a home or without straps.
At the same time, the owners of the H-shaped figure are advised to abandon:
- clothes are oversized or baggy;
- pencil skirts;
- outfits that overly open the belly;
- leggings;
- dresses and outerwear of straight styles;
- turtleneck;
- tops, T-shirts with a neckline or sleeveless.
Correct workouts
To correct such a figure, cardio activity should be minimized, using mainly a stepper. The waist can be created with abdominal exercises and the use of a hula hoop. It is important that your workouts are intense but short. Each muscle group should receive its own load on a weekly basis.
On a note! Famous "rectangles" are: Mila Jovovich, Anna Kournikova, Nicole Kidman, Cameron Diaz, Keira Knightley.
No. 3. "Pear" (other names: "triangle", "spoon", "trapezoid", A-shaped figure)
It is rightfully considered the most feminine. It is characterized by rounded lush hips, slightly exceeding the shoulders in volume. In this case, the abdomen is usually flat, and the waist is quite thin.
Often women - "pears" can not boast of big breasts- they often have it flat, but a plastic surgeon, as you know, easily solves such problems. We also note that with such a figure, tormenting yourself with diets so that it does not make sense. The A-shaped figure is preserved both with overweight and with a model weight. Therefore, it is better to draw attention to beautiful hands, collarbone or neck, for which you just need to use suitable clothes.
Wardrobe selection
The main goal is to balance the hips by focusing on the upper body. To do this, you can use:
- a-line coat, fitted outerwear;
- jeans / trousers that widen downward;

On a note! Among the celebrities, the owners of such a figure are: Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce.
No. 4. Inverted triangle (other names: T-shape, "carrot", Y-shape)
Women with this type of figure have narrow hips and broad shoulders. Legs are often slimmer and longer than others. Various stylistic techniques allow you to visually enlarge the hips, reduce the shoulders and emphasize the waist. The best option for this is a straight cut, maximum detail on the hips and minimum - in the chest area.
Wardrobe selection
The main goal is to balance the top and bottom, while also keeping the waist in mind. The most suitable clothes for this:
- a-line coat;
- A-line skirts with large pockets or folds;
- blouses, tops and dresses with square or U-shaped cutouts;

No. 5. "Apple" (other names: O-figure, "oval", "circle", "rhombus")
When compared with other types of female figures, this one is the most disproportionate, however, it is precisely such women who were sung in Rubens' canvases. The most prominent part of the body in "apples" is the middle, that is, the belly and waist. The thighs and legs are relatively thin, as well as the sirloin. In the case of excess weight gain, fat accumulates in this prominent part. Type of female figure "apple"

Metabolic typing of female forms
As already noted, the above classification is not the only one. Below is another one - by metabolic type. Let's get acquainted with it in more detail.
Table. Metabolic types of figures.
| Name, photo | Short description |
|---|---|
 | The dominant gland in these women is the pituitary gland. Metabolism in this case is slow and sluggish, fat accumulates well, fluid is also retained well. Such ladies are prone to obesity since childhood. The type has something in common with the previously described "apple". |
 | The dominant gland is the thyroid. The weight of such women is usually normal, they often even have a thin physique. This type has something in common with the "rectangle". Women look "boyish", have narrow shoulders, small breasts and sharp limbs. |
 | The most feminine type. The dominant activity is the activity of female hormones and ovaries. It is somewhat reminiscent of the "hourglass" and "pear". Adipose tissue is distributed primarily on the buttocks and thighs. |
 | The figure of such women is very similar to a man's - the shoulders are wide, the hips are narrow. It echoes the "inverted triangle". The predominant gland is the adrenal glands, which produce androgens. |
How to determine the type of figure by the wrist?
This is really possible - the body type is determined by the wrist in medicine (especially in obstetrics). The size of the wrist indicates the thickness of a woman's bones in a given part of the body. In this regard, the type of figure can be:
- asthenic;
- hypersthenic;
- normosthenic.
The circumference of the wrist is also known as the Soloviev index. In the first case, it is less than 15, in the second - over 17, and in the third - from 15 to 17, respectively.
About new types of female figures
Few people know, but for Lately the female figure has changed so much that scientists had to supplement the usual classification with several new "vegetables". This is, first of all, "Butternut squash"... Something similar to an "hourglass", but with a wider waist (over 25 cm - about 20-25 cm).
There is still a figure "eggplant"- in fact, the same "pear", only the waist is not so pronounced. And finally "broccoli"- a type of figure that resembles a "carrot", but with a more voluminous chest. By the way, thanks to plastic surgery, any "carrot" can quickly turn into "broccoli".
Video - Choosing a dress depending on the type of figure
As a conclusion
As a result, we note that any female figure over time does not change for the better. This is common knowledge. But Japanese scientists have found that age-related changes occur in a specific sequence. It looks something like this.
Who can argue: we are all unique and you cannot find two identical women. But the same types of figures exist, and it is customary to divide them according to their fruit-geometric characteristics. Who are you - an apple, a pear, a triangle or a lucky hourglass?
Body type: pear (gynecoid type)
Pear girls are the most feminine of all. Happy body type: excess weight if it is, it is concentrated in the "pears" in the lower part of the body - it is deposited on the thighs, buttocks, at the waist and almost not deposited on the chest and back. The bust is usually medium in size. The waist can be either pronounced or weak. The abdomen is usually flat. The upper body is usually slightly longer than the lower, the lower body is more broad-boned, while the lower is more narrow-boned. The more weight, the more "triangular" the shape becomes. When losing weight, the figure is greatly improved visually. For this type of figure, correct posture is of great importance - even a slight stoop spoils the "pear". Pear-type women can be of any build (thin, medium, full) and can be of any height.
"Pears" have a low metabolic rate and a high tendency to cellulite.
Nutrition for "pears"
Nutritionists say that women of this type have a faster metabolism in the evening. Therefore, in the morning and in the afternoon, you need to eat less, and the main meal should take place in the evening. It is better to give up fatty and spicy foods, as well as sweets. It is best to eat grains, vegetables and fruits.
It is very important for "pears" to follow their drinking regime! Your norm is 30 ml per 1 kg of body weight per day.
Pear body workout
It is necessary to focus on the legs - the reduction of body fat on the legs and hips makes the "pear" figure ideal. Complex leg exercises that involve several muscle groups at once are suitable for you. In addition to complex exercises, be sure to do several isolating exercises aimed at a particular muscle in the lower body. The main task is to lose weight in the hips, but do not neglect the upper body exercises - the developed muscles of the arms, chest, back, shoulders harmonize the figure. By developing the upper belt, you will be able to shift the emphasis in your figure from the lower part. After all, a figure with chic hips, narrow waist and narrow shoulders is very feminine and attractive. In Pears, fat is not deposited on the cheeks, and the face, arms, shoulders, back, neck remain fragile. The waist is usually always preserved.
Training goal: Reduce the hips.
Exercises:
- forward lunges
- breeding legs in the simulator
- jump squats
- lunges in a step with a static phase
- squat horizontal row
- static gluteal bridge
Your hips are both a seduction tool and a source of problems. To make the "breeches" less voluminous, go in for sports and use modeling anti-cellulite cosmetics. Apply creams and gels after your workout, spread in a circular motion, and then clench your fists and knock your legs up from your knees with your bones. If the skin turns red, then you are doing everything right.
How to dress "pear"?
Our site is not entirely about this, but be sure to mention: wear flared skirts, skirts with wedges, wrap dresses, maxi skirts. Wear blazers and jackets with shoulder pads, balancing parts of the figure, wear a neckline, bright prints and chest pockets. Focus on the upper body, while "darkening" the lower. Wear jewelry: necklaces, pendants, chains, scarves, lapel brooches. The bottom needs to be decorated in dark colors. It is better to choose slightly tapered or loose trousers, middle length straight skirts. Discard styles with a detachable waist. From above, the silhouette should be semi-adjacent, widening downward. Achieve the effect of soft and voluminous lines. Feel free to visually enlarge your bust.

Shape type: rectangle
The stumbling block of women "rectangles" is the lack of a waist. Such girls also cannot achieve roundness in the hips. But with a low body fat composition, such figures look good, but, unfortunately, women of this type are often inclined to be overweight. And the higher the percentage of fat and more fullness, the less relief in the muscles that form the contours of the figure, and therefore, the figure appears even more rectangular. The "rectangles" have the same width of the hips and shoulders. the difference between the hips and the waist is less than 25 cm. The body is strong, stocky, legs are slender. There is almost no bend of the hips, the buttocks are flat, the chest is wide.
The main problem of this type is a protruding belly and a lack of expression in the waist. It seems that such a figure cannot be called ideal - but, on the other hand, with such initial data it is easier to achieve the ideal than everyone else. Usually, the muscles of representatives of this type are naturally strong and easily respond to even a small load.
The main goal is to lose belly and waist fat. Take a holistic approach: low-fat diet + cardio + abdominal exercises. Walking and jogging will be very helpful.

Correct the parts that are angular.

Fit Type: Apple
Lucky you with your legs and chest! The legs are slender, the chest is voluminous. But the problem is in the rear. The excess is deposited in the chest and midsection. The problem area is the stomach, it needs to be tightened. Women-"apples" differ in the same volume of the chest and waist. Problems: medium breasts, visible belly, no waist. Pluses: beautiful thighs and legs. There is another variation of the "apple" figure - large breasts and hips, slightly noticeable waist, long legs. Emphasis should be placed on the legs and neckline.

The task is to visually lengthen the silhouette, balance the upper and lower body. Avoid emphasizing the waist and highlight other, more attractive body parts. These will be your legs and your chest.
Avoid baggy clothing around the waist. Wear wide pants and jeans, elastic and flowing fabrics, dark colors... Tops and blouses that fit your lines, but are loose around the waist, will look good. Choose a V- and U-neck.

Fit Type: Triangle
For girls with "triangle" figures, the hips and waist do not differ in volume. The figure looks very boyish, androgenic. Usually the shoulders are much wider than the hips. Usually the upper half of the body is much shorter than the lower one. Thin, slender long legs, as if "attached" to a massive body. the waist is usually poorly expressed. If there is excess weight, then it is distributed in the upper body - in the arms, back, abdomen. However, losing weight and burning excess fat does not always help. Representatives of the "triangle" type have a reason to make their lower part more rounded, lighten the top and add volume to the bottom. Try building your glutes while losing belly fat.
It is very useful for such figures to be performed You need to do exercises with serious weights and few repetitions. This type of workout can be done 4-5 times a week.

Fit Type: Hourglass
It is considered ideal this type of figure: the same volume of the hips and chest with a very narrow, pronounced waist - usually the waist is more than 25 cm narrower than the hips. The hip line is curved, the bust and buttocks are round. This is a classic female figure. Its disadvantages are easily corrected, all that is needed is to reduce the amount of subcutaneous fat. The hourglass's shoulder width is usually the same as the width of the hips, and the waist is very narrow. In general, the figure is proportional and harmonious.
Fat deposition usually occurs on the thighs and breasts. If there's overweight, then it is deposited on the hips in the form of "ears" and "breeches". The most important thing is to adjust your diet, because the main task of the "hourglass" is to reduce the amount of fat, while maintaining the smooth lines inherent in this figure. When exercising, the main thing is to strengthen the muscles without changing the proportions. It is best to train 3 times a week, every other day. Very useful for this type of cardio figure - running, dance aerobics, exercise bike, stepper, walking.
Meals for the "hourglass":
The main rule is to monitor a balanced diet and prevent hunger, which is fraught with overeating and weight gain.
Eat 1-2 light snacks between breakfast and dinner to avoid sugar surges throughout the day.
Avoid "mucus-forming" foods in the afternoon - these are avocados, nuts, cereals, sesame seeds.
If you cannot completely eliminate sugar, keep an eye on its quantity and quality: choose natural formulations, replace it with stevia or honey.
Do not eat fruits and desserts after 4 pm.
Sweets, fatty and spicy foods will bring the greatest harm. Slow carbohydrates are recommended: cereals, potatoes, rice, whole grain bread. Best foundation for the diet - dairy products, fish, vegetables and fruits.
Harmonious figure: pronounced hips and chest, thin waist! Alas, these girls tend to be overweight. But even if extra pounds arrive, they are evenly distributed over the upper and lower body. The waist always remains visible!
Hourglass body workout:
Your activities should be aimed at accelerating metabolism and maintaining the waist - this is the key to harmonious proportions. Dancing, functional training, medium intensity cardio, circuit training are optimal.
The waist is almost not getting fat - but the chest, arms, hips, buttocks can be heard. All hourglass girls are encouraged to focus on cardio: running, walking, cycling. Hourglass gains weight evenly, so resistance and cardio workouts are good for them. They should avoid excessive relief and pumping, their goal is fit.
Your cardio:
- swimming
- dancing
- slow running
- a bike with light resistance.
Hourglass weight gains in the thighs, buttocks, abdomen and arms, so you should focus on these muscle groups. We advise all workouts to be carried out at a high pace.
When playing sports, choose a bra without underwire. It relieves stress on the chest during sudden movements.
Press
The abdomen is a real headache for many "hourglasses". You need to concentrate on several variations of twists.

The shape of the "triangle" type (it is also called "pear" or A-type) occurs more often than others. Its difference is wide hips with relatively narrow shoulders. And it is this body type that attracts men. Moreover, it attracts precisely at the subconscious level, as a female figure with wide hips is better than others adapted for pregnancy and childbirth.
Physique features
The main attributes of the "triangle" physique:
- narrow shoulders;
- relatively small breasts;
- thin waist;
- slim stomach;
- pronounced thigh line.
This type of figure looks very feminine, so girls shouldn't worry that they don't look like models parading on fashion catwalks.
Weight loss features
Women with triangle builds tend to gain weight easily. Moreover, body fat is distributed unevenly. Most of the fat is stored in the thighs and buttocks. As a result, as you gain extra pounds, your figure becomes more and more disproportionate.
Losing weight for women pears can be quite difficult. The fact is that if they follow a diet, their fat begins to leave the upper body, which did not differ in size even before losing weight. But with the "strategic reserve" located on the buttocks and hips, the body is extremely reluctant to part. Therefore, you cannot do without sports in the process of losing weight.
But, in any case, the figure given by nature cannot be completely changed. The hips of even the most slender girls will still remain wide. Therefore, you should not argue with nature. It is much wiser to learn to emphasize the most advantageous features - a thin waist, a beautiful transition from the waist to the hips, fragile feminine shoulders.
How to choose clothes?
If a girl with a "triangle" figure does not have problems with being overweight, then she can choose almost any model. The main rule is that the shoulder line should be widened. This can be achieved using shoulder pads, as well as sleeves of certain styles - wings, flashlights, simply gathered around the edge. Models with raglan sleeves and with an American armhole fall under the ban.
It is much more difficult to choose clothes if the woman is gaining excess weight. To visually make the figure more proportional, you have to use different techniques.
The main task when choosing clothes: to widen the shoulder line and divert attention from wide hips.
- wide cutouts;
- models decorated with breast pockets, frill, bows at chest level;
- contrasting large collars;
- use of shoulder pads;
- fitted models;
- blouses with a “carmen” neckline or with a lowered shoulder, asymmetrical neckline;
- skirts made of plain flowing fabric;
- trousers and jeans of a straight cut.
- clothes combined according to the principle "light top - dark bottom";
Clothes that will not beautify:
- tight clothes, mermaid cut dresses;
- flared trousers;
- tops with thin straps, bustiers;
- low-waisted trousers or skirts.
What things can hide the flaws of the "triangle" type figure and emphasize its obvious advantages?
Dresses
Dresses are perfect for a feminine triangle figure. The most suitable models are those that focus on the shoulder line. To do this, you can use:
- bright details;
- voluminous sleeves;
- asymmetrical cutout;
- assemblies, draperies.
The lower part of the models must be free, in the shape of a trapezoid. This cut will mask wide hips, visually making the figure more proportional.
Slender girls with a thin waist can dress up in corset dresses. If the figure is imperfect, then it is better to opt for the models of the Greek style with a high waistline.
It is not worth trying on a tapered sheath dress, it will not decorate a figure of the "triangle" type. But a straight cut sheath dress looks harmonious.
Tops and blouses
Holders of the "triangle" figure should choose blouses and tops that add volume to the top... Suitable:
- models with embellishments along the shoulder line - draperies, gathers, ruffles;
- blouses with sleeves in the form of lanterns or wings;
- models with wide boat necklines or V or U neckline.
Successful models:
- top with extended shoulder line, loose top and tight-fitting at the waist;
- classic blouses with ruffled sleeves and ruffles or a bow on the chest;
- fitted shirts with shoulder pads;
- wrap blouses;
- T-shirts with a wide boat neckline and sleeves.
Jackets & Cardigans
It is best to choose fitted jackets up to mid-thigh length. Shoulder pads and shoulder straps are used to highlight the shoulder line. Chest pockets will draw attention to the bust, but patch pockets along the hip line will have to be abandoned.
Jackets should be sewn from elastic fabrics that fit the figure. Models made of rigid, well-retaining materials make the figure rectangular. As a last resort, a straight-cut jacket made of stiff fabric can be worn unbuttoned, wearing it over a fitted top.
Trousers
Many ladies with "triangle" figures are sure that trousers absolutely do not suit them. In fact, it is not! There is no need to give up this comfy piece of clothing if you choose the right fit.
The right choice:
- straight, classic-cut trousers;
- jeans straight or with a flare from the knee line;
- trousers or jeans with a high waist.
To hide the volume of the hips, you should buy pants dark shades... But this does not mean that you need to forget about bright clothes forever. Just follow the rule that the bottom must be several tones darker than the top. So, if you put on a white blouse with beige trousers, then the figure will look proportional.
Skirts
For a figure of this type, straight skirts with a peplum are suitable. This detail will accentuate the waist and cover too wide hips.
Holders of a "triangle" figure should pay attention to the knee-length trapezoidal model. The cut models of the year will also look good, as well as skirts with a wide yoke, expanding from the hip line.
But the attitude to the "tulip" model skirts is ambiguous. They can only be afforded by the very slender. Despite the fact that the cut of such a skirt about the true volume of the hips can only be guessed at, in general, it makes the figure more massive.
- tight short skirts;
- models with pleated waist;
- skirts with patch pockets and draperies on the hip line.
Outerwear
Coat for the owners of the "triangle" figure, you can choose straight lines with vertical darts or fitted, widening to the bottom. The accent on the shoulders will help create a fur collar or additional details- scarf, stole.
Cloak it is better to choose a fitted one with a belt and shoulder straps. A classic trench coat up to mid-thigh length is suitable, as well as flared models that are fashionable today, knee-length or slightly below.
By choosing jacket, you need to remember that the clothes should not end at the level of the widest part of the figure. The ideal length is to the waist or mid-thighs. Cropped models with an elastic band or a wide cuff at the bottom are suitable, this will emphasize the waist. Fur trim, a large collar, and gathered sleeves will help balance the top and bottom.
Fur coats can be purchased from sheared or long-piled fur. The best option are models with a hood or a large collar. Length should be to mid-thigh or below. But the short "autolady" fur coats are categorically not suitable.
Swimsuit
When choosing a bathing suit, you need to look for a model, the bottom of which is able to visually reduce the hips, and the top will add volume to the bust. It is recommended to use models with in different colors top and bottom, moreover, the top should be a few tones lighter.
- top with wide straps;
- ruffles, buckles, volumetric details to decorate the top;
- if the bust is of a modest size, it is better to choose the top of the swimsuit with a "push-up" effect;
- dark bottom, with deep cutouts and high waist;
- the bottom of the leotard should not have decorative elements.
Shoes and accessories
Shoes it is recommended to buy a classic form. The heel can be either high or small. Tall girls can afford ballerinas. Unsuccessful models for girls with a figure in the shape of a triangle are shoes with a large platform and models with square toes.
Handbags I will approach feminine, with draperies, folds, bows. A bad choice would be bags with a long strap that are worn on the shoulder. In this case, the bottom of the bag will fall on the widest part of the figure, which accentuates attention on it.
Decorations on the neck, you need to select the shape of the neckline. Chains and beads should not be long. Oval-shaped jewelry is better suited, rectangular pendants and pendants should be avoided.
Must definitely use neckerchiefs, scarves, stoles. These wardrobe details are essential to draw attention to the shoulder line.
Fabrics and colors
The femininity of the owners of the triangle-shaped figure is emphasized by soft and elastic fabrics. Thick materials and leather are less suitable as they add volume.
When choosing colors, you can not limit yourself to anything, you just need to follow the rule: "the bottom is always darker than the top." For blouses and bodice of a dress, fabrics with large ornaments can be used, but skirts and trousers should be monochromatic.
For visual body shaping, you can use striped fabrics, in the upper part of the clothes it should be horizontal, and in the lower part - vertical.
Fashion looks
By creating fashionable images, trying to divert attention from the lower half of the figure, setting accents on the top and waist.
Business image
We combine a chiffon blouse with a three-quarter sleeve, shoulder pads and breast pockets with a beige straight skirt with a peplum. We complement the image with classic shoes, a small bag made of material that imitates the skin of a reptile.
For free time
Jeans straight silhouette we combine indigo colors with a red and blue plaid shirt. Let's complement the look with a classic straight coat and comfortable ankle boots with small heels.
To a youth party
We wear straight black trousers with a cream lace top with a curly bottom up to mid-thigh length. The top is decorated with beads along the edge of the boat-shaped cutout. We select sandals for the suit golden color from straps, and a pair of wide bracelets on the wrist.
To the theatre
A fitted dress with a flared skirt is suitable for going out. The dress has a sweetheart neckline, a small drape on the chest and three-quarter sleeves. We emphasize the waist with a black leather belt. Choose red high heels, decorated with small bows and bright red heart-shaped studs. A rectangular black and red clutch will complete the look.
Solemn exit
For an evening look, a corset dress with an A-line skirt is suitable. The top of the dress can be sewn in shiny fabric and the bottom in matte chiffon. The combination of a lace bodice with a silk skirt also looks great. The waistline can be emphasized with a wide sash.
Stars with a triangle shape
A triangle-type figure is very feminine. Stars with such a physique try to emphasize their merits.
Perhaps one of the most striking representatives of the owners of the triangle figure is Jennifer Lopez. Despite the fact that the lower part of her figure is frankly heavy, no one would dare to call the actress disproportionately folded. And all because Jennifer always chooses the right clothes. She loves revealing necklines, often uses draperies and asymmetrical details in dresses. Thanks to this, the figure looks harmonious and attractive.
Other sellers with figures of the "triangle" type look no less sexy, among them Kristen Davis, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Rihanna, Leona Lewis.
The external female appearance is determined not by the physique, but by the style. Imperfections are good because they give us our individuality. The shape type triangle by its name declares some angularity. In fact, it is a sporty silhouette, the proportions of which are very easy to adjust by placing accents in the right places. Imagine a fashion show from a famous couturier. Most designers prefer fashion models with this type of appearance. They are sometimes called hangers, but not because of excessive thinness, but because the clothes on these girls fit perfectly. So, we forget about the complexes, consider ourselves a goddess or just a beauty and learn to create images for the triangle figure.

Inverted triangle shape in pure and blended form
Sometimes it is quite difficult to determine the type of figure. Nature abhors monotony, and even twins are somewhat different from each other. But it is better not to blame genetics, but to find your strengths or weaknesses and correctly dispose of this information.
Traits that make you feel confident that you are a true inverted triangle:
- straight shoulders, much wider than the hips;
- strong enough torso, medium or large chest;
- poorly defined waist;
- narrow pelvis, flat buttocks;
- long legs.
If you look like a slender youth, a champion swimmer, or a police commissioner from Hollywood movies, there is no doubt that this is an inverted triangle figure.
Sometimes specific traits type is somewhat blurred. Not too wide shoulders give the appearance of a rectangle, a noticeable belly - with, a narrow waist - with. A triangular-type figure cannot be confused with only a pear, because the main distinctive feature- the shoulder girdle is wider than the hips. Moreover, a woman can be both thin and fat.
A lot of pluses and one minus
Short or long torso and legs, small or large breasts are found in all types of appearance. Do not consider this a personal tragedy, but focus on what is inherent only in your appearance.
The main advantage of a triangular figure is external fit. The main thing is not to slouch and remember to keep your back straight. Other important pluses:
- neat hips;
- slender legs;
- the presence of a waist or the effect of its presence;
- sporty look, not sluggish anorexicity or formlessness.
You should be proud of this and do not hesitate to demonstrate. Someone considers broad shoulders a disadvantage, someone is quite happy with them. In any case, you should not add volume to this part of the body, but emphasize beautiful shape can.
The only negative of the inverted triangle is the imbalance between the upper massive and lower small parts of the body. It gives a light touch of masculinity. If you strive for femininity, you just need to choose clothes that will make your appearance harmonious.

Lavish draping from your chest can turn you into a square. Any asymmetry looks good - one sleeve, an open shoulder, a smell, a pattern, a large bow or an off-center decoration.
Tops, shirts, blouses, sweaters
The shape of the triangle requires changing the classic combination "white top - black bottom" exactly the opposite. Choose tops in dark tones with an American armhole or wide straps. Narrow, like a light color, focus on unwanted volumes. Avoid prints, especially all-over small, shiny fabrics, bright decor.
Laconic blouses with draperies, slouchy, V-neck, long bow at the neck are suitable. Blousons and tunics are also your option. A good choice would be a shirt in a man's cut, plain or with longitudinal stripes. A not fully buttoned and slightly raised collar will create vertical dynamics and divide the line of the shoulders.
Sweaters and sweaters are preferable from thin but dense knitwear, with a zipper or a through fastener. Desirable length - to mid-thigh. Too short will divide the figure into two unequal parts. Cardigans with raglan sleeves or dropped shoulders are best worn open. Don't get carried away with oversized collars, hoods are fine.
Jeans, trousers, shorts

The length can be any. A floor-length skirt with a high slit looks spectacular. Prints, flounces, frills are welcome. It is advisable to choose a classic waist fit.
Outerwear
Jackets require special care in choosing. They should not be too tight, short, with a pronounced shoulder line. Chanel-style models are suitable, semi-adjacent, with a one-button closure, with a peplum, belt or belt. Avoid overly masculine jackets.
A coat with an open neckline will be the highlight of your look. You can also consider options:
- semi-fitted single-breasted with jacket collar;
- straight cut with or without a belt;
- flared from the waist;
- oversized with raglan sleeves, tapered from top to bottom;
Shoulder straps, epaulettes, and other decor on the shoulders are not your element. Like the classic trench coat. If, then flared under the belt. But jackets are suitable for a classic cut, for dynamic looks - a leather jacket, a bomber jacket.
How to dress in a harsh winter? - of course in fur coats. Choose from cocoons, straight, flared, hooded, stand-up collar and jacket. But ditch the intricate piles of fur around the neck and sleeves. The length depends on the height. Tall - any, petite - short and medium.
Swimwear
If you want to be the queen on the beach, choose swimwear with a strap or strapless. pay attention to interesting model bodice hipster, shaped like a top with an American armhole.
Swim trunks are best worn with a wide side part, with ties, draperies or cross-décor. Overweight with caution, and slender girls can and should wear sports swimwear. Sometimes it is difficult to find a size due to the difference in chest and hip measurements. Look for stores that allow unpacking swimwear.
What to say no
You will be able to find the perfect style of clothes if you clearly remember what should not be in the wardrobe of the inverted triangle. Under strict ban:

- too tight clothes;
- oversized style;
- tight dark trousers;
- square cutouts;
- transverse strip at the top;
- frank mini.
Whether such things are suitable or not depends on personal characteristics. Use common sense and a sense of style.
Shoes and accessories
You should always have a bright accent in the lower body, distracting attention from the voluminous top. Therefore, it is permissible and even preferable to choose shoes of non-standard colors or with a catchy decor. Too high hairpin is undesirable. A stable heel and wedge heel are much more relevant.
Flat sole - yes:
- original ballet shoes;
- sandals with rhinestones, fringes, straps;
- high boots with buckles;
- shoes with spikes.
Stylish classics are also honored. The main thing is that the shoes do not go unnoticed.
The bag should be large enough, but not shapeless. The best choice- geometric model with rounded edges, non-aggressive design, embossed or printed leather. For lovers of small handbags - a rectangular clutch.
Wear loosely hanging thin scarves, long beads and chains, stud or elongated earrings, large jewelry on your hands. Wide belts with eye-catching buckles at the hips are a good addition. It is better to emphasize the waist with a narrow belt.
Fabrics: texture, pattern, color
For the top, soft, flowing fabrics are preferable, for the bottom - dense, textured, with a printed pattern. Place the color accents correctly. Everything is light below, dark above. This does not mean that bright colors should be avoided. Just follow a simple rule: blouses, tops, jackets should be darker than skirts and trousers.

Bright skirts, trousers with embroidery, jeans with scuffs and rhinestones, combined dresses, spectacular trim on the hem - this is beautiful and makes your figure harmonious. Don't be afraid to express your personality.
Physical activity and nutrition
Women with a triangular figure usually grow fat from above. Fat is deposited on the shoulders, back, arms, and later on the waist. The thighs and legs remain slender for a long time. Therefore, strength training and swimming are undesirable. Anything aimed at strengthening the lower body is welcome - walking, dancing, step aerobics. Yoga, Pilates, breathing practices give good results.
The diet is required to exclude fatty foods, carbonated drinks, simple carbohydrates in the afternoon. It is better to steam and eat in small portions. A nice feature - late dinner is not prohibited.
