Morphologie en X : La silhouette en sablier

X-shaped body shape: The hourglass silhouette

To show yourself off, knowing your body shape is key! Whether your waist is defined or not, whether your shoulders are thin or equal to the size of your hips, Trench & Coat offers coats for all body shapes.

With winter approaching, the coat will be the key piece of your looks. Are you an X-shaped body? To brighten up your entrance into a room, we have the perfect selection!  

The X-shaped morphology: its characteristics and our advice  

The first characteristic of the X-shaped body shape is its marked waist. It is quite close to the 8-shaped body shape, except for one detail: the size of the shoulders is almost equal to that of the hips. Many of our models will enhance your figure. And for your outfits, you are spoiled for choice from the oversized Ambleon parka , to the short Mably jacket , to the Chabottes coat with its marked waist. 

How do I know if I have an X body shape?  

Stand up straight in front of your mirror, if your shoulders and hips are in the same axis, with a marked waist: you have an X silhouette! This morphology is also called “hourglass”, because of its symmetrical shape. Your shoulders are the top of the hourglass, your marked waist represents its middle and your hips are the bottom. 

Our selection for the X-shaped morphology  

To give you an idea, we would recommend these same models to Halle Berry, Miranda Kerr, Kylie Minogue and Blake Lively. As you can see, these stars have an X-shaped body shape.  

(Funfact: The X morphology is the rarest morphology in France!)
