BODY TYPE CORNET : YOUR BEST LOOKS

---

The Cornet shape resemble an upside down triangle, where the shoulders are broad, boobs are usually small, straight waist, slim hips and long, slender legs. The Cornet can struggle with feeling masculine, but don't forget that this athletic shape has many advantages that must not be neglected. After all the Cornet is the Supermodel figure. 

The Cornet figure needs dramatic materials, cuts and details to keep up with it's own dramatic lines (Chiffon fabric is feminine but dramatic). Angular shapes, asymmetric cuts, diagonal lines, draping materials, pinstripes and pattern/prints breaks up your figure and balance the drama. Interesting details bounces the focus, to keep your body from being overpowered by the prominent shoulders. 
Skinny jeans are great on you, and light and bright colors on your bottom half is very flattering. Fitted hip length jackets and cropped pants are great on you, since you don't need to elongate your legs. 

Delicate shaped, slim-heeled shoes are your most flattering shoe style, because it doesn't overwhelm your slim calves and ankles. The interesting detail (or color) draws attention to your fantastic legs.
