The secret to the A-frame wardrobe is in rebalancing the upper body with the lower. In other words, you have to divert the attention from your hips and your butt to transfer it to your upper body (chest, neck, shoulders…). To do this, everything is permitted. Go all out:flashy necklace, brooches, flashy scarves, everything is good to catch the eye at the top. Do not hesitate on plunging necklines, draped, square, boat, pleated collars and even bustiers. For blouses, prefer the open and wide collar to enlarge the bust. Also, don't forget to highlight your shoulders in summer with thin straps and in winter with shoulder pads or balloon sleeves. For jackets and coats, choose them fitted with shoulder pads to structure your shoulders. Finally, trust one of the allies of the A-line silhouettes, the "butt cover" tunic.
If at the top everything is allowed, at the bottom, it is another story. To highlight the lower body of an A-body shape, avoid emphasizing the hips. The trick lies first in the color. Wear dark colors at the bottom and flashy colors at the top. Then, adopt straight cuts, both in pants, jeans and skirts. Bootcut pants are also perfect for your figure, as they rebalance the lower body. As for dresses, pick straight dresses and small A-line dresses, flared on the hips or empire waist. The skater dress is also an ideal shape for your figure.
In short, to harmoniously dress your A-line silhouette, banish from your wardrobe skirts or pants with horizontal stripes and bubble skirts that will amplify the wide effect of the hips. Also avoid too flared peplum tops that would emphasize your hips and buttocks as well as slim pants or jeggings because they are too close to the body. Finally, avoid the colorful look that unbalances the silhouette. Stick to colorful at the top and dark at the bottom.
