The V-shaped silhouette

Athletic elegance: the art of rebalancing volumes to enhance your legs and soften your shoulders.

In the world of fashion, charisma is born from harmony. Before enhancing your look, it's essential to understand your unique body shape. The V-shaped silhouette is characterized by a broad frame, with shoulders wider than the hips. Common among athletes, this physique offers a strong presence that should be accentuated.

"Your goal: to draw the eye downwards, rebalance proportions and enhance your legs."

To be preferred

  • Necklines: V-necks or rounded necklines are perfect for drawing the eye towards the waist and minimizing the impact of the shoulders.
  • Bottoms: Opt for flared or wide-leg pants that create volume where you need it.
  • Details: For small buttocks, opt for trousers with pockets or flaps to create shapes.
  • Colors: Play with contrast by wearing dark shades on top and bright colors or patterns on the bottom.
  • Cuts: Wide straps are your best allies if you want to elegantly show off your shoulders.
  • Materials: Opt for structured and slightly thicker fabrics for the top to maintain a flawless silhouette.

Avoid

To avoid accentuating the width of your bust, steer clear of boat and square necklines. Thin straps, puff sleeves, and shoulder pads should be avoided as they add bulk to the shoulders. As for skirts, avoid straight skirts that add no dimension and emphasize the lack of volume in the hips.

Now that you hold the secrets to your silhouette, all that remains is for you to express your style with confidence.
