Show off your calves by wearing short ankle boots with a skirt that falls right below your knee.

Question

Am I an inverted triangle if I gain weight on my breasts, butt, thighs and stomach?

Ainsley

Community Answer

I would say you aren't an inverted triangle shape, that usually would mean you would have smaller thighs and butt; the whole bottom half would be smaller than the top (bust, etc). You may be more of a round shape.

Question

Shoulder: 38", bust: 33", waist: 28", hips: 35.5"; am I inverted body shape?

Ainsley

Community Answer

It is possible that you are, but maybe a less severe one. It basically means that your shoulders and bust are quite a bit larger than your stomach and hips. Your bust is a bit smaller, though, so I would probably say you are either a rectangle or triangle based on your measurements. It may be different in person, however.

Shoulders: 38" Bust: 32" Waist: 26" Hips 33-34". Am I a rectangle or inverted triangle?

You’re definitely an inverted triangle, as your shoulders are significantly wider than your hips.

Question

Inverted triangle basically means that you are skinny, right?

Top Answerer

Not necessarily! Many women who are inverted triangles aren’t skinny and vice versa.

Question

Can I still wear bold and patterned shirts? Because I don't want to only wear dark colours.

Pinkskates

Top Answerer

Yes, you can. Vertical patterns are good and still slim down your upper body. These are just guidelines, wear whatever clothing makes you feel confident.

Question

Inverted triangle, basically that means that you are skinny, right?

Indira Christian

Community Answer

Not really. You shape has almost nothing to do with your weight, besides your curves. Inverted triangle has curves.
