Why You Should Know Your T-shirt Necklines & The Body Type They Accentuate

By vane-style - September 28, 2021

 T-shirts are essentials in every lady’s wardrobe and they can either be dressed up or dressed down to suit the occasion. But did you know that you could get a better use for it if you know your onions when it comes to body types and necklines? Now, let’s get you into the right t-shirt!


To get into the right t-shirt, you have to be familiar with your body type (you’ll be surprised, some women have no clue.)

Apple

The apple shape is like an inverted triangle. Attributes of an apple body shape include; broad shoulders and narrow hips. So, if you have an apple body shape, the best t-shirt neckline to accentuate your figure is the V-neck. The reason is because it creates a slimming effect and minimizes a larger bust.

Pear

Unlike the apple body shape, the pear figure is shaped like a triangle. This means that you have narrow shoulders and wide hips. The best t-shirt neckline for you is the V-neck as well. Why? This is because the deep neckline creates an extended silhouette which makes your hips proportionate to your upper body.

Banana / Rectangle

The banana shape is like a vertical rectangle and it is one of the most common figures among women. The shoulders, hips and waist are evenly proportioned and the best t-shirt neckline for this figure is the round and the scoop neckline. The reason it suits this body type best is that it properly accentuates the toned rectangular physique.

Hourglass


So you can think of two opposing triangles facing each other when trying to figure out how the hourglass figure is shaped or a coke bottle that everyone is familiar with.  Usually, they have a wide bust, narrow waist and wide hips. V-necks and round necks work best for this figure. V-neck will help you with the slimming effect you desire and round neck on the other hand will show off your curvy silhouette.

Till next time!
