contents We prove that the rank-one convex hull of finitely many $2\times 2$ triangular matrices is a semialgebraic set, defined by linear and quadratic polynomials. We present explicit constructions for five-point configurations and offer evidence suggesting that a similar characterization does not hold in the more general setting of directional convexity.
