What is the V-shaped body shape?

Specific characteristics

Morphology allows us to distinguish each woman's body. The shape of the body is unique to each person. If your shoulders are wider than your hips , you have a V-shaped morphology , also called an upside-down pyramid .
You generally have beautiful broad shoulders, a generous chest, and lovely long legs. It's a silhouette full of assets that must be highlighted. Find the perfect balance between your upper and lower body . Stéphanie, Gualap's image consultant, helps you show yourself off to your best advantage! :)

Dressing with a V-shaped body shape

The clothes to choose

As with every body type, there are certain garments that are best suited to your style. To enhance your figure, opt for femininity !

Up

Choose tops that are long enough and made of flowing fabric . Avoid tops that are too tight . They tend to emphasize the shoulders.

Opt for dark colors for the upper body and light colors for the lower body; this will make your shoulders appear less broad. To flatter your figure, choose peplum tops: very elegant and refined, they will enhance your chest.

Down

For your upper body, you're limited to certain clothing styles. Conversely, for your lower body, you can wear whatever you like ! If I were by your side during your shopping trip, I would recommend trying boyfriend jeans and a flowing skirt : two pieces that will perfectly balance your body shape.

Don't hesitate to choose clothing with prints, patterns, or stripes. They will draw attention to your legs and subconsciously erase your build.

Dress

Dresses are a piece we love to wear in winter with a pair of tights or in summer with a pair of sandals. For V-shaped bodies, choose flared or straight shapes rather than bodycon dresses.

Coat

Flared , straight or even ball coats are essential pieces of clothing in your wardrobe for a V-shaped body. Choose a hip-length coat rather than a very short coat.

The coat is at the heart of your style , it's the piece that is most seen in winter. Choose a coat that matches your body shape and in which you are comfortable .

Accessories for V-shaped bodies

The necklaces

As with any body shape, accessories can help balance your figure. Choose a long necklace or sautoir to elongate your silhouette and break up the masculine look.

The belts

Choose a nice belt. It can be worn on your hips and will dress up your outfit .

The shoes

Don't hesitate to wear small pumps . They lengthen the silhouette with style.
