Jeans for INVERTED TRIANGLE Body Type

If you aren't sure if this is your body type, visit: Identify Your Body Type to find out. This is part of a series for finding the right jeans for your body type compliments of http://www.jeans-and-accessories.com/, which is the source of my information.



Goal:
You must divert attention from your shoulders and bust, and show off your narrow hips.

Dos:
  • Boot-cut and flared legs give a long and lean look, which is flattering to most women
  • Look for patch pockets
  • Look for styles that enhance your backside without sagging in the rear, as womens designer jeans are meant to do
  • Slim frames can benefit from side pockets, which create a fuller thigh
  • Look for jeans with a yoke in the back, which can make your backside look fuller
  • Consider a low rise jean with a contoured waistline
  • Tapered legs to the knees but not with exaggerated flare will also work well
  • Strategically placed washes or embellishments in the front and back pocket areas will attract attention to your hips
  • Also lighter washes or fades along the legs and knees add shape to thighs

Don'ts:

  • Never use tapered jeans or any that are tight in the knees
  • Avoid standard straight legged jeans
  • Avoid jeans with very small waistbands
  • Avoid pocket-less jeans
  • Avoid big rear pockets
  • Womens designer jeans in darker colors will make your hips appear smaller

Accessories:

  • Longer Tunics
  • Low slung belts help attract eyes to hip area
  • Look for raglan sleeves or any high sleeve cut
  • Never use shoulder pads
  • Avoid very fitted suit jackets and shoulder pads
  • Patch pockets in blouses
  • Avoid strapless, full sleeved or sleeveless tops
  • V-necklines will pull the eye away from your shoulders
  • Darker colors in jackets and tops will minimize shoulders
