Round or circle shaped women tend to have medium to narrow shoulders with a large waist and slim arms, legs and hips; the weight usually gathers around the middle. As a result of this clothes should fit loosely around the mid section to hide it. They should avoid high waisted jeans/trousers, belts and anything that pulls you in at the wasit as this will draw attention to that section. Long, lean straight leg or skinny jjeans will help to lengthen the legs and make the weight look more distributed. Tunic and swift dresses are the best choice of dress to wear for this shape.

Inverted Triangle feamles have broad shoulders and a wide chest teamed with medium waist and slim legs. They should wear darker tones on their top half to try and draw the attention away from that area and stay away from embellishment or low cut tops. On the lower half pleats, emboridery/pattern are examples of how you can create volume on the lower half and light colours. Flare trousers/jeans, boyfriend jeans or mom jeans which helps to balance out the body proportions.
