Hey, lady, are you looking to stand out at work? I would say, without a doubt, that one of the most potent ways to boost your self-confidence, comfort, and personal brand is by dressing according to your body shape.
At Indyvarna, we know that every woman is unique-while not only about how she was raised and her cultural beliefs but even about her body shape. The outfit will really look great on you if you pick outfits that flatter the natural proportions of your body. Especially, in the professional setting, it changes both how you feel and look.
Regardless of whether you are a corporate leader, an entrepreneur, or a teacher, the right workwear will make you look balanced and proportioned both horizontally and vertically while making you stand out effortlessly. At Indyvarna, we are a team of expert image consultants committed to ensuring that our customers attain their best personal branding. And how do we understand which of those shapes you fall into? Let's dive into how knowing your body shape can help you dress for success.
In this blog, we will cover four common body shapes—
1. Triangle
2. Inverted Triangle
3. Oval
4. Rectangle
And how you can dress to augment your natural curves.
In the next blog, we will cover four more body shapes. Let's get started!
1. Triangle Body Shape
Characteristics:
Your lower body is wider than your upper body, meaning your hips are broader than your shoulders.
Your bottom is rounded, and you have a defined waist.
Best assets: Shoulders and torso.
Fashion Goals:
For Triangle body shapes, balance is a goal that's brought out by slimming the lower body while filling out the upper body. Give those shoulders and the upper body volume while highlighting your waist and arms.
What to choose:
Necklines: necklines where your attention falls on your shoulders and waist. Sweetheart or scoop-neck will beautify those areas for you while plunging necklines tend to enhance your shoulders and middle sections.
Layering: Layers make an interesting dimension to the upper body. Lightweight jackets or well-structured blouses will balance out your silhouette.
Hemlines: Interesting hemlines on dresses-high low, for instance, will slim hip and thigh bulges
We design our attires at Indyvarna keeping in view the above characteristics and their remedies to flatter Triangle body types. From properly structured tops to balancing skirts, we make you feel confident and poised.
Recommended Outfits for Triangular Body Shapes:
- A-line dresses
- Tops with shoulder shapes
- High-low skirts and dresses
2. Inverted Triangle Body Shape
Characteristics:
- Inverted Triangle Body Shape
Characteristics:
This body shape features a broad chest and wide shoulders, with a narrow waist and hips.
- Best assets: Your legs.
- Shoulders are noticeably wider than your hips.
- You may have an athletic or sporty build, with straight hips and little waist definition.
Fashion Aspirations:
The key is to soften the upper body while adding volume to the lower body to create balance. Accentuate your legs and avoid adding width to your shoulders.
What to Choose:
- Waist definition: Choose outfits that emphasize the waistline to create a curvier silhouette.
- Avoid: Stay away from horizontal stripes on the shoulders or any frills, lace, or ruffles that add width to your upper body.
- Bottoms: Go for fuller skirts or dresses that add volume to your hips and balance out your proportions.
- Necklines: Spaghetti straps, one-shoulder tops, and sleeveless designs are great options to soften your upper body.

- Hips and bust are quite close in measurement, and there is little to no waist definition.
- Best assets: Slim, well-toned arms and legs.
Fashion Goals:
The goal for Oval body shapes is to trim the waist while drawing attention to your arms and legs. Look for clothing that shapes your midsection and flaunts your best features.
What to Choose:
- Necklines: Low necklines can elongate your torso and create a more streamlined look. V-necks and scoop necks work wonders.
- Structured shoulders: Choose tops with structured shoulders to keep the focus upward and give a more balanced appearance.
- Waist definition: Empire waistlines or wrap styles help create a more defined waist while keeping the look classy and professional.
- Hemlines: A-line or bias-cut hemlines will help balance your silhouette.
