The silhouettes that work for me are tunic-like soft blouses - a little loose cut and fluid so that it fall straight from the waist, narrow V-necks and&nbsp;higher crew/scoop neck that shows the collarbone&nbsp;(I am small-busted), straight/skinny&nbsp;leg pants, and&nbsp;angular sheath dresses. I recently purchased a fluted skirt at Banana Republic, and the shape works surprisingly well at adding curves my flat&nbsp;bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-inverted-trianglerectangle-tendencies#post-1050830 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 01:31:06 +0000 MsLuna 1050830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Memememe!!!! I actually only discovered I'm IT after thinking I was a rectangle/apple all along!</p> <p>I've been posting a bit more frequently, so have a look at my WIW posts for ideas. Not sure what your style is like but if you do modern classic/romantic, feel free to copy my outfits ;)</p> <p>Like Una, I have a tried and true formula that works for me:</p> <p>A-line top (usually tunic length) </p> <p>+ </p> <p>Skinny jeans (or leans/Jeggings/leggings if tucking in tall boots)</p> <p>+ </p> <p>Unstructured/draped/semi-fitted topper</p> <p>+ </p> <p>Block heeled comfy tall boots or booties (I'm the higher heel type)</p> <p>Oh... And statement jewelry (or trademark bling as Beth Ann calls it).</p> <p>Hope that helps! And do check out Una's outfits! I'll also need to check out K's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-inverted-trianglerectangle-tendencies#post-1050802 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 00:58:22 +0000 raelou 1050802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K- brick and mortar is generally how I shop. I have actually looked at K's clothing because she had posted when I was first trying to figure out what my shape was and, I have found some things I really liked. Alaska girl, thanks for the ideas. I am similar in shape in that I wear one size bigger on the top than on the bottom. 5'4" and a 32 ddd bust so any advice on tops is so appreciated. Also, to help a little more I should tell you all that I am a Mom on the Go so any thoughts on more clothing that would work for this would be great although I do really like to dress up as well. I will be watching each of you now and learn all I can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-inverted-trianglerectangle-tendencies#post-1050096 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:12:40 +0000 catgirl 1050096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you will definitely want to look at K's work outfits for amazing classic with an edge style.&nbsp; I am only 5'1", a little busty (32D) and have no real waistline.&nbsp; I'm generally a size smaller on the bottom (4) than on top (6 or M).&nbsp; I think with a V neck and the right combination of factors you can get a flattering oversized look.&nbsp; For me, that involves fitted sleeves, a flowy hem that drops lower on the sides, and a non-clingy fabric.&nbsp; </p> <p>See here for an example of such a sweater&nbsp;- it's very waist-surrendering but I think it works.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ash-sneakers-in-action" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-in-action</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-inverted-trianglerectangle-tendencies#post-1050020 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 19:18:33 +0000 K. Period. 1050020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here! Here! I'm here! I'm an IT too. &nbsp;I'm&nbsp;at least two sizes larger on top because of my shoulders than I am on my bottom. &nbsp;I don't have much of a waist either. &nbsp;(High five, Una! My super stylish IT sister!)&nbsp;</p> <p>raelou, are you wanting to shop online? Or brick &amp; mortar stores?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-inverted-trianglerectangle-tendencies#post-1049936 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 17:27:42 +0000 raelou 1049936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I live in a smaller town I have actually had the best success shopping at TJ Maxx because there is a lot of different variety. The hardest thing there is sorting through it all. I would definitely be open to other suggestions though. I tend to lean towards a classic style rather than anything really trendy. I also seem to really focus in on how outfits define my waist, due to the fact that my waist is where I like my shape the least. (Rectangle). This is probably why I never realized that I was an IT until posting pics. I have a larger bust so I sometimes feel that, instead of getting that lovely look of loose and flowing tops that skim your body, I end up looking like a box. That might not even make any sense but that is how I end up feeling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-inverted-trianglerectangle-tendencies#post-1049857 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 15:53:49 +0000 catgirl 1049857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did someone call my name?&nbsp; We have several ITs here with different styles, and I'm sure they will chime in! My go to formula for casual is skinnies, chunky boots, and tunics or oversized sweaters.&nbsp; But tell us a bit more about your style preferences and where you like to shop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-inverted-trianglerectangle-tendencies#post-1049849 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 15:46:59 +0000 raelou 1049849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey! It's been a while since I have been on but I plan to go shopping for some clothing and wanted to know who else out there had my body shape so maybe I could get some ideas from your own pics before I head out this weekend? I am looking for casual tops and jeans as well as some skirts. Any ideas on sweaters would also be great! My shape is in the heading and I am 5'4". </p>
