If your shoulders, waist and hips are roughly the same width, congratulations — you’re a gorgeous I-shape, one of the cleanest and most modern silhouettes in contemporary fashion. There’s something wonderfully effortless about your line: straight, lean, architectural. At Renée, we see the I-shape as a canvas for creativity.

Your styling goal is simple: add shape, softness and definition without losing your natural ease. Think about creating curves where the body doesn’t naturally form them. That doesn’t mean forcing anything — just encouraging shape through clever cuts and thoughtful layering.

One of your best friends is the belt. Cinched dresses, belted coats, gathered tops — they instantly give the illusion of a waist. Wrap dresses and pieces that tie around the middle work beautifully too. They highlight the center without adding bulk.

For bottoms, you can play with both structure and volume. Pleated trousers, wide-leg denim, or skirts with an A-line cut offer gentle curves while maintaining your sleek outline. Scandinavian brands do this brilliantly: soft, minimal shapes that add character without overwhelming.

Your upper body benefits from texture — ribbed knits, layered shirts, light jackets, vests. These pieces break up the straight line and add depth. A well-placed shoulder detail or subtle puff sleeve can also create dimension.

When shopping for dresses, seek out styles with a defined waist or built-in structure: seams, draping or diagonal cuts. They give the illusion of movement and curve. And of course, a monochrome outfit with contrast textures (think knit + silk) elevates your entire look.

If you want help building shape while keeping your modern aesthetic intact, come by Renée. We’ll style you with intention, warmth, and pieces that bring your silhouette to life — softly, beautifully, confidently.
