Inverted Triangle
Inverted Triangle: Your shoulders or bust is larger than your hips. Stylists recommend tops that have shape around the waist, open necklines, and clothing that accentuates your legs.We recommend V-neck tops that create a long, lengthened neckline and wide-leg or cropped pants that give your legs and ankles attention that can give the volumizing illusion of fuller hips and thighs.
Celebrity Examples: Jill Scott | Naomi Campbell | Angelina Jolie
Apple
Apple: Your shoulders are rounder, and your bust is full to large with a waistline that is not defined. Stylists recommend avoiding leggings, super tight skinny jeans,things that make you look shorter, or wear a pant that covers the shoe. Avoid wearing three button blazers that hide or camouflage your middle, or tight clothing. We recommend flare leg pants, single button blazers, using a belt(wide or narrow) to fake a waist or hourglass shape. Wear heels to elongate the body and add a clutch for visual interest.

We recommend shirts that balance your upper body and this may include tops with ruffles, bows,pockets and other embellishments that increase the volume in your lower body.

Using belts to define the waistline is also recommended.
