Body Type A — The Elegant Triangle

If you recognize yourself in the A-shape — with narrower shoulders and hips that soften into beautiful curves — you’re among the most classic silhouettes in fashion. Designers adore this type because it offers movement, flow and effortless femininity. At Renée, we see it as a silhouette with endless styling possibilities.

The key to dressing the A-shape is simple: bring the focus upward, soften the hip area, and create harmony. Your shoulders and upper body are delicate, which means they can handle a little more detail, texture or structure. A strong shoulder line — think a structured Belgian blazer or a Scandinavian cropped jacket — creates instant balance. Tops with subtle volume, interesting sleeves or lighter tones draw the eye upward in the most natural way.

Your lower body is where your curves live, and we want them to shine without adding extra weight. A-line skirts, wide-leg trousers and clean, simple fabrics are your secret tools. Avoid pieces that are too bright, too heavy or carry to much detail.

Necklines play their part too. Boat necks, square necks and open collars light up your shoulders, giving the upper body the presence it deserves. When it comes to dresses, anything that highlights the top while gently flowing over the lower body is a must-try.

If you’re unsure where to start, step into Renée. We’ll help you explore your shape, discover pieces that make you feel balanced and beautiful, and build looks that move with you — not against you. Your curves are an asset. Let’s show them.
