Best Suits for Men with an Inverted triangle Body Shape
Keep the shoulder natural and let the trousers carry some volume so the outfit balances top to bottom.
This guide is for the inverted triangle body shape: chest at least 10% bigger than the hips, with a waist under 98% of the wider measurement.
Look for
- Soft, natural or unpadded shoulders with a clean line
- A single-breasted jacket with a lower button stance that lengthens the torso
- Notch lapels or slim peak lapels that do not add width
- Trousers with a bit of room at the thigh and a straight leg
Skip or adjust
- Heavily padded shoulders and wide peak lapels that widen the top
- Double-breasted jackets with broad lapels
- Very slim, tapered trousers with a big jacket on top
