A silhouette
Hips with presence, narrower shoulders
Your hips are a little wider than your shoulders and your waist is usually defined. The game is to give presence to the top half so that everything is in conversation.
Your key: light and structure on top, fluid lines below.
- Tops and necklines
- Boat or square necklines, structured shoulders, and detail and colour near the face.
- Waist
- Mark your waist: it is one of your strong points.
- Jackets
- Jackets cropped at the waist, or long ones that go past the hips, with a defined shoulder.
- Skirts and trousers
- A-line skirts and straight or wide trousers that fall from the hip, in quieter tones than on top.
- Dresses
- Dresses fitted on top with a soft flare below, or wrap dresses.
A first, indicative look: a CARO consultation confirms it in person, with real clothes and frames.
