- If your figure belongs to the type of "inverted triangle", then try to choose models with an emphasis on the lower body. It can be flared bottom or folds. Avoid styles with a voluminous and richly decorated top.
- If you have visually identical volumes of shoulders, waist and hips, then pay attention to the coat of an unusual cut, with any asymmetrical details, atypical arrangement of pockets.
