Best Jackets for Men with a Triangle Body Shape
Structured jackets that add width at the shoulders and end below the hip balance the proportions.
This guide is for the triangle body shape: hips at least 5% bigger than the chest, with a waist under 98% of the hip measurement.
Look for
- Blazers, field jackets and denim jackets with structure at the shoulder
- Jackets that end at mid-thigh, well below the widest point
- Chest pockets, textures and lighter colours on the upper body
- Layers, such as a knit or a scarf, that add volume at the top
Skip or adjust
- Short, cropped jackets that end at the widest part of the hips
- Bulky details, such as flap pockets or a drawstring, at the hip
- Soft, thin jackets that hang from a narrow shoulder
