I am also very picky about where shoulder seams fall. I never want them beyond my shoulder unless halfway down my upper arm. The best place for blazers is slightly in from the edge of the shoulder to visually narrow them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-for-an-inverted-triangle#post-1454571 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 03:13:20 +0000 Caro in Oz 1454571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Gwennie about possible styles. I have a large bust too which compounds the problem.&nbsp;Something with a small amount of stretch to give&nbsp;a little more shoulder room works well on me. Counter-intuitively sometimes jackets with shoulder detail can help too - the width looks like a design detail rather than me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-for-an-inverted-triangle#post-1454521 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 01:15:34 +0000 Anonymous 1454521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Janine, I'm a rectangle but a strong secondary inverted triangle. Not sure if these would work for you, but the&nbsp;types of jackets I've found work for me are like your banana republic jacket with slim or shawl lapels and&nbsp;longer and/or lower stance like boyfriend or tuxedo jackets, and I've found soft fabrics like knit jackets work well too. The other type of jacket that works well for me are collarless cropped jackets that are relatively boxy and straight all the way down.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-for-an-inverted-triangle#post-1454390 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 21:43:29 +0000 JayS 1454390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Giving this a bump because I'm in the same boat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-for-an-inverted-triangle#post-1454172 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 15:51:37 +0000 Janine 1454172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it ok to bring up this thread again? I am having the same issue and did a search...does anyone have anything else to add here? I have a huge desire to wear some actual jackets instead of cardigans all the time, but I always end up feeling like I am ready for football season </p> <p>I did find this blazer which seems to work:</p> <p><a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=87056&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=288850002" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=288850002</a></p> <p>Have any of you inverted triangles out there found any other topper alternatives that you feel great in other than knitted cardigans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-for-an-inverted-triangle#post-124485 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:33:15 +0000 Inkling 124485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie.

It would really help if you posted a picture of yourself so that we can get a better sense of the types of styles that might work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-for-an-inverted-triangle#post-124264 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 19:31:54 +0000 Inkling 124264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm getting lots of inspiration around the web and gradually figuring out what suits me, but I have real problems finding jackets that don't make me look and feel like a football player. </p> <p>I have only one that seems to work well and its a fitted suede "jean jacket" which works open, buttoned and with a belt on top. I also have two black blazer type jackets which I never wear because I feel they make me look mannish - which I hate! I've been trying the longer cardigans as a substitute, but I'd really like to find a couple more "real jackets" to give me more of a polished professional/casual look.</p> <p>I'd love to hear any tips or advice anyone has on finding a style to suit my shortwaisted, busty, slim inverted triangle. </p>
