Something new today: a post for men and women! And it’s for those with the triangle body type. Yes, men have body types — there are 4 and one is not the hourglass. <snicker> Instead of the hourglass, there is the oval — which I lovingly call beer belly…but I digress.
If you work in an office where relaxed business casual is the norm, here is some inspiration for what to wear in the warm weather. And the best part? Both outfits are very well priced.
Women
- Light camel wide-leg stretch cotton trousers.
The wide-leg pants allow room for the fuller thigh and look great on triangles.
- BCBG wrap cardigan
that is every triangles best friend: belted, wide shawl collar…perfect. Wear it over a simple, light-colored tank or cami from your closet.
- Comfy taupe flats
by Easy Spirit — cute!
- Green stone drop earrings
- Beautiful floral ombre scarf
that you can wrap a couple of times around your neck for effortless style.
Men
- White military shirt
– the pockets and shoulder detail add a little more weight on top to create a more inverted triangle look.
- Hugo Boss cotton trousers
that are flat front and clean lined. Triangle guys cannot wear pleated pants.
- Black Unlisted loafers
- Clean-lined Jack Spade messenger bag

I like it! Would like to see how you tie the scarf.
When you are ready for a summer ensemble – please remember the southern ladies! We often have months of 100+ temperatures with high humidity. Yes, we have air conditioning – and that is almost always too chilly. So we need items that are wilt-free from the car to the building, or even items that work when we must stay outside in spite of the heat. Linen just doesn’t stay crisp for long.
Thanks!
thanks for the request scuster! out of all the fashion emergencies, wilt-free dressing is at the top of the list. stay tuned for a post specifically about that in the coming months.
Will there be a post discussing the body types for men as well? I just think it would be helpful to learn,too.:)
