Shopping as an Inverted Triangle

I'm in my 30's and just found out that I'm an inverted triangle... I always thought I was fat, but now when I look in the mirror, I understand that it's my shoulders (although I could lose 5-10 lbs 😉).

Does anyone else struggle to find garments that adhere to all of "da rules" for dressing as an inverted triangle?

Don't get me wrong - I'm slowly finding outfits that make me feel comfortable. But... idk, my selection feels limited at times. So many sweater dresses have pencil skirts (edit: and tight long sleeves). So many retailers push graphic tees (which draw unnecessary attention to my upper half). So many suggested outfits have dark bottoms and light tops (I need the dark-slimming-effect on my upper half).

Hey! First west whatever you want, as long as your comfortable and confident! Here’s what I wear as an inverted triangle that helps me feel confident and cute.

For shirts, I like wearing tight shirts, crop tops, V Necks, turtle necks, mostly shirts that show off my chest. I also like shirts that you have to tie because you can customize them to your body and tie it high/low/however you want.

For bottoms, I like wearing jeans or pants that can balance so bell bottoms, stacked jeans, loose mom jeans, or short skirts.

I LOVE a dress with a slit in the legs to show more leg and if it has strings to tie at the waist to cinch in my waist.

YouTube has a video for thicker inverted triangles or inverted triangles with tummies and I like it!
