What are some styles of tops that look best on my muscular upper body?
Q. I have started to workout and my shoulders, back, and chest are looking wider and more muscular. My old tops don't fit quite the same. What are some styles that will look best on my muscular upper body? Julia D. working it out in Kansas City, KS
A. When I style athletes and people with inverted triangle shape bodies, I look for specific styles of tops that celebrate the upper body and at the same time create a balanced effect through the waist and hips to support the appearance of an hourglass figure. Here are some helpful tips and styles to look for when shopping for new tops. Julia D. from Kansas City KS
- Tops with narrow v-necks and nipped in waists that flare slightly at the hip.
- Look for deep V-neck wrap style tops. A little flare below the waist will help add curves to your hips.
- Spaghetti Strap tops that sit lower across the chest and drape
- Highlight your upper body with one shoulder tops. This draws attention up to your face and highlights your strong shoulders and arms
- Blouses with varying colors darkest color on the upper body.
- Jackets with deep V-necklines, a nipped-in waist and flared bottom or hip pocket details.
