If you are V shaped:
Your shoulders are wider than your hips
You often wear a size (or two) larger on the top
You have a strong or an athletic build
You may struggle to look and feel feminine in clothes
Weight gain is mostly above the waist, not on the hips or thighs
Body shapes V shape
You will look great in:
Straight or wide leg pants/jeans, flared or bootleg styles.
Low to medium waist pants
Halter necks, raglan sleeves, V necks
Print or detail on lower half of body
Darker coloured plain tops
Tunics or long tops coming to mid-hip or longer
Cuffed sleeves
Double-breasted jackets
Avoid:
Shoulder detail like seams, colour-blocking or epaulettes; shoulder pads
Frills and flounces, gathered waists, soft/floppy fabrics
Tops in shiny fabric; white shirts
Puffy sleeves
Wide-open necklines (showing a lot of chest), one-shoulder garments
Careful with skinny jeans as they can make your bottom half look even smaller
A-line skirts: you don't have the hips to fill them.
Goal:
Softening your shoulders
Creating a more feminine silhouette
Alterations:
Buy upper garments to fit shoulders and have body taken in, or buy trousers to fit the waist and have hips/thighs taken in
