V silhouette

Shoulders with presence, narrower hips

Your shoulders or bust are wider than your hips. The idea is to soften the shoulder line and give volume and movement to the bottom half.

Your key: clean lines on top, volume and colour below.

Tops and necklines: V necklines, fluid fabrics and shoulders without pads or ruffles.
Waist: Low, hip-level waists or unbelted pieces bring the visual weight down.
Jackets: Hip-length jackets, without shoulder pads, open or single-button.
Skirts and trousers: Full, pleated or A-line skirts and wide or flared trousers: this is where prints and bright colours go.
Dresses: Dresses with a simple top and a skirt that moves.

A first, indicative look: a CARO consultation confirms it in person, with real clothes and frames.
