Style advice for the Glory Top
The Glory Top for X- and 8-types
Garments that hug your natural curves and accentuate your waist do wonders for your figure. That’s why you should tuck the top into a skirt or a pair of trousers and not wear it out.
Always go for fabric with a fluid drape. Stiff fabrics are an absolute no-go because they completely fail at accentuating your curves and make your upper body look too straight and heavy.
The Glory Top goes perfectly with straight-leg skinny trousers, high waisted trousers with a flared leg, such as the Bertha trousers. The same goes for skirts. For example, you could go for a high-waisted skirt like the Pina I.
The Glory Top for V-types
Inverted triangles want to shift the focus towards their lower body. That’s why you should make the dress version of the Glory Top. Discover the no-hassle method for how to do that here.
The Glory Top looks best when paired with slim fit trousers, for example, the Billie Trousers, or trousers that flare at the bottom, such as the Bertha Trousers. Both will result in a silhouette with lovely proportions.
We recommend making the top in more understated colour than what you used for the trousers, which look nice in a light colour or a print. This will draw attention away from your broader shoulders.
The Glory Top for H-types
H-types have a naturally straight figure. It’s important to preserve your silhouette’s balance by slightly shifting the focus downwards.
There’s no need to go out of your way to accentuate your waist. That’s why you should make the top long so that your upper body doesn't look too short, and the focus isn't on the horizontal line at your waist. Discover the no-hassle method for how to do that here (add link).
Pair the Glory Top with trousers that have a straight or slightly flared leg, such as the Bertha trousers. This combination will return a sense of balance to your figure.
The Glory Top for O-types
O-types want to detract attention from the waist. That’s why the Glory Top is a superb option for your body shape. What that means, in essence, is that all the attention is drawn to your upper body. Tip: lengthen the top to hip height or turn it into a dress. Discover the no-hassle method for how to do that here.
It’s a great way to create lovely longitudinal lines instead of extra volume.
Avoid going for stiff or fabrics that are too thick. Lovely fabric with a fluid drape will look natural and not create any unnecessary added volume. One fun combination would be to pair the Glory Top with trousers that have a straight or slightly flared leg, such as the Peaches, Bertha, Billie Trousers, or –alternatively – the Pina Skirt.
The Glory Top for A-types
The A-type's objective is to emphasise the upper body and detract it from the heavier lower body. In that respect, the Glory Top is the dream design. Go for a bright or light colour. That will make your top a real eye-catcher. Pair the Glory Top with trousers that have a slightly flared leg, such as the Bertha trousers - or an A-line skirt – the Dixie Skirt, for example. Go with a more understated colour for the trousers to create a nicely balanced silhouette.
The Glory Top for I-types
The Glory Top provides the I-type’s figure with more volume. Pair the top with trousers such as the Bertha or Miyu Trousers or a skirt like the Dixie Skirt, for example. The flared shape really flatters your figure.
