Inverted triangle
Broader shoulders and chest over slimmer hips
How it’s defined
- Note: This is a measurement-based heuristic (not a diagnosis). Results can vary with measurement technique.
- Shoulders/bust wider than hips (top-heavy), with a smaller waist-to-bust ratio.
Style focus
- Soften the shoulder line with V-necks and wrap fronts.
- Select trousers with volume (barrel, wide-leg) to add lower-body presence.
- Textured or pleated skirts build dimension below the waist.
Training guidance
- Build posterior-chain strength (glutes, hamstrings) for balance.
- Integrate unilateral lower-body moves to improve stability.
- Swap some push sessions for pull emphasis to avoid upper dominance.
Wellness notes
- Watch for neck/shoulder tension; schedule mobility or massage blocks.
- Ensure footwear supports gait to reduce knee/ankle impact.
- Practise diaphragmatic breathing to maintain rib mobility.
