Tipo de Cuerpo Triángulo (Pera): Caderas Anchas, Cintura Definida
The triangle body type — commonly called a pear shape — features hips that are noticeably wider than the shoulders and bust, with a gentle, defined waist. This is the most common female body type after the rectangle, with about 20% of women having pear/triangle proportions. The triangle body shape is characterized by a smaller upper body, defined waist, and fuller hips and thighs. Understanding your triangle body type helps you choose styles that balance your proportions and training that builds symmetry.

Triangle Body Type FAQ
Is a triangle body type the same as a pear?
Yes — triangle and pear are two names for the same body type. In fashion, 'pear' is more common; in measurement science, 'triangle' is the technical term. Both describe a body shape where the hips are wider than the shoulders/bust with a defined waist.
What clothes suit a triangle body type best?
Focus on balancing your silhouette: lighter, brighter tops with interesting necklines draw the eye up. Structured shoulders create upper-body width. A-line skirts and straight-leg trousers skim hips. Dark-colored bottoms are slimming, while fitted tops highlight your smaller upper body.
What's the best exercise for a pear-shaped body?
Build upper-body strength with rows, presses, and lateral raises 2-3 times weekly. Strengthen glutes and core to support your natural hip structure. Include lateral movement drills (side lunges, band walks) to strengthen abductors. Mix resistance training with low-impact cardio.
Can a triangle body type become an hourglass?
While bone structure is fixed, targeted training can change your appearance. Building shoulder and back muscles creates upper-body width, which can make your proportions appear more balanced. However, the underlying measurement ratios won't change dramatically.
