If your shoulders naturally stand out — strong, structured and beautifully defined — while your hips have a softer, narrower line, you’re most likely a V-shape. This silhouette feels athletic and dynamic. At Renée, we adore working with this shape because the styling approach is so clear: soften the shoulders, add presence to the hips, and let the silhouette flow.

Your shoulders are naturally expressive. You don’t need extra help there — so skip shoulder pads or tops that build unnecessary volume. Instead, embrace V-necks, open collars or asymetric tops that ease the upper body and draw the eye downward. Draped blouses, soft knits and elegant shirts create movement, allowing the upper line to relax.

Your lower half is where the magic happens. This is where you can play. Wide-leg trousers, culottes, straight jeans and skirts with subtle volume give you balance instantly. When you add width below the waist, you give your silhouette harmony — everything falls beautifully into place. Scandinavian brands excel at this, offering relaxed trousers and contemporary shapes that add just the right amount of softness.

Print placement is another styling trick: keep prints or bright colours on the bottom, and let the top remain calmer. This simple switch subtly rebalances your entire outfit.

When it comes to dresses, look for styles that are fitted at the top but widen gently toward the hem. Wrap dresses, A-line silhouettes and pieces with waist definition look effortless on you. Keep the neckline open, let the fabric fall, and your figure will shine.

If any of this feels overwhelming, don’t worry — that’s why we’re here. Come to Renée for a personalized styling session. We’ll help soften, lengthen and balance your shape with the right pieces, the right proportions and that signature Renée warmth.
