Diamond Shape

Characteristics: Here, the shoulders and bust are narrower than the hips, with the waist not as clearly defined.

Best Styles: Clothing that adds volume to the upper body, like boat necks or horizontal stripes, can be flattering. A-line skirts, cap sleeves, and structured jackets can balance out the wider hips.

Tips: Emphasizing the waist using belts or high-waisted pants can create a more balanced silhouette. Patterns or details on tops can draw attention upwards.
