Best Jackets and Blazers for an Inverted triangle Body Shape
A jacket adds structure at the shoulders, so choose styles that keep the line soft and add shape lower down.
This guide is for the inverted triangle body shape: bust at least 5% bigger than the hips, with a waist under 85% of the bust.
Look for
- Soft, unstructured blazers with natural shoulders
- Longer jackets that end at or below the hip
- Collarless jackets and open cardigans
- Peplum or flared-hem jackets
Skip or adjust
- Heavy shoulder pads and strong structure at the shoulders
- Wide lapels and big collars that add width to the top
- Cropped jackets that end at the bust or ribcage
