Body shape
Triangle body type
This is your palette
Narrower, often sloping shoulders, with the body fuller through the waist and hips. The job is to add at the top and keep the lower half quiet.
The rule
Structure above the waist, a plain dark line below it.
Pieces that work

- Dark, plain straight-leg trouserKeeps the lower half calm

What to skip
Pleats, side pockets that open out and heavy detail below the waist, and jackets that end above the hip.
