How to highlight a pyramid morphology?

Morphology in A: DO and DON’T
DO
– Tops with fitted cuts that mark the waist and highlight the chest.
– For small breasts, low-cut or V-neck tops will be perfect!
– In general, favor square, round or sweetheart necklines.
– Side jeans and pants, the high waist is perfect for your marked hips.
WHOSE
– Skirt, dress … Stockings that add volume to the hips.
– On pants, prints are not necessarily recommended as they may draw too much attention to your hips.
– Jackets, sweaters … Avoid pieces that are too wide and too shapeless, which will widen your entire figure.
Fashion pieces that highlight the A-shape morphology
With an A-shaped morphology, you can go for arched cuts. Tops, sweaters, jackets, coats… The fitted cuts will be perfect to highlight your size. You can also choose pieces with volume on the top, such as a sweater or blouse with ruffles or a jacket with shoulder pads.
For jeans, preferably choose a high or normal waist which will lengthen your silhouette and enhance your shapes without erasing them! The same goes for pants, choose cuts close to the body and avoid wide cuts like boyfriend jeans or palazzo pants.
If you are more of a dress, the fitted cuts at the top and flared at the bottom will be perfect. The trapeze or skater dress is also ideal for your body type! The same goes for skirts, choose a model tightened at the waist (with a belt oras) and flared at the bottom. If you like tight cuts, don't deny yourself!
Morphology in A: fashion pieces to avoid
Jeans or pants, avoid low waists which are not necessarily adapted to your body type.
Basque dresses and tops are also not recommended because they will accentuate the roundness of the hips.
Your upper body should be highlighted, so avoid loose tops and tops that will not be flattering for your body shape.
In winter, prefer straight and fitted coats to loose or bulky coats such as down jackets.
