H silhouette
A straight line, shoulders and hips aligned
Your shoulders, waist and hips are of similar widths and your waist is only lightly defined. You can play at creating curves or underline your clean line.
Your key: create a waist point or play with the vertical.
- Tops and necklines
- Square or V necklines, layers, peplums and details that add relief.
- Waist
- A high rise or a low waist creates a turning point; a wide belt draws a waist.
- Jackets
- Straight jackets, hip or mid-thigh length, with a clean cut.
- Skirts and trousers
- Full or pleated skirts and wide or straight high-waisted trousers.
- Dresses
- Belted shirt dresses, empire lines or straight dresses with details.
A first, indicative look: a CARO consultation confirms it in person, with real clothes and frames.
