Body type guide: Clothes & dresses for the V-shape at Mondo Kaos
For those of us with V-shapes, our shoulders are wider than our hips. Balance your V-shaped silhouette by emphasizing your lower body instead of your upper body.
V-Figures often have a more 'athletic' build with narrow hips, so 'softening' the shoulders is important so they don't take all the focus.
Tops for the V-Figure
You should look for sets and dresses that make your shoulders look more narrow. For example, you can look for V-neck tops that break the line between your broad shoulders, making you look narrower across the shoulders. Look for empire-cut tops and peplum tops that flow over your hips and make them appear wider.
Pants and jeans for the V-shape
You should aim to give volume to your hips. That's why wide-leg pants are perfect for you.
Skirts for the H-Figure
A-line skirts and swing skirts with pleats are perfect for you as they give volume to your hips. Pockets are allowed on the skirts as they add extra fullness.
Dresses for the H-Figure
When it comes to dresses, you can also look for models that give volume around your hips. These are skirts with an a-line cut and swing skirts with volume.
