Best Tops
By Body Shape
We did this for bottoms a few months ago, so let’s try this with tops. I’m going to use the same chart and breakdown as I did for the skirts.
Inverted triangle:
This body shape is heavier/fuller on the top half of the body, so you do not want to add volume in your tops.
I would stick to slim fits, not necessarily tight, just slim and closer to the body.
I would also opt for darker colors. You can add brighter/lighter colors on the bottom or with accessories.
Circle:
This body type tends to be heavy in the midsection, something many women struggle with. To hide that midsection you actually want to wear something that creates a waistline for you.
This can mostly be done with the bottoms you choose.
But also a top with the banded waistband is a helpful option.
Just keep an eye out for necklines and sleeves that are best for your silhouette.
Hourglass:
You are blessed to be balanced and can get away with many silhouettes.
I would just look toward flattering necklines for you.
Triangle:
This body type carries its weight on the bottom half. So I would say you want to add volume up top and keep the bottom half more subtle. Again, there’s always some nuance here.
For this body type you can wear more voluminous and baggy tops if you like.
Tops with ruffle sleeves or shoulders can be very flattering on this shape
Rectangle:
This body type tends to be straight and lacks a lot of shape. So you also get to have fun and play with volume.
You can add volume to the top and bottom. Depending on your size and what you’re going for.
Hope this is helpful for y’all. There’s so much nuance in the details, that I could break this list down to 20 subsections to account for everyone and their different features.
