The Closet | V-shape

What is a V-shape body?

The V-shape body, also known as an inverted triangle or carrot shape, is represented by icons like Charlize Theron, Naomi Campbell, Jessica Alba, and Angelina Jolie (just to name a few…).

This athletic silhouette is characterized by broader shoulders and bust compared to the hips, which might throw off your balance a bit. But don’t panic! With a tiny, defined waist and toned legs, you have some incredible assets. You have all the qualities to be a true athlete.

With this body shape, you have plenty of features to flaunt and even more ways to highlight them.

Pleated pants or jeans
Structures and adds volume to the hips, balancing proportions and creating a harmonious silhouette.
Straight or flared dresses

Pitfalls to Avoid
Skip the thin straps and go for wide ones instead.
Leave puffed sleeves, balloon sleeves, or boat necks in the closet as they will only widen your shoulders further.
When it comes to the bottom, swap your skinny jeans for flowy pants to balance your silhouette.
