Everyone falls into one of the body shapes, each of the body shapes can contain women of different heights, weights and sizes but the fundamental shape is the same throughout. This is important when it comes to dressing your body. Clothes which may suit one woman and make her look tall and slim may have the opposite effect on another woman. It is therefore essential you get to know your body shape and dress accordingly! This will enhance what you have got and hide your body hang ups giving you a confidence boost and ensuring you look fabulous every time you dress!
There are 4 standard body shapes and some others with slight variations on these standard shape classes if you want to delve further into the shapes. These are the apple, pear, hourglass, and rectangle, each is slightly different geometrically depending on the way the 'triangle' points.
The apple shape is a triangle pointing downwards. This means the woman has broader shoulders and bust area compared with narrow hips. Fat is distributed around the upper body.
The rectangle does not use triangles to define the shape; it aptly just uses a rectangle. It is easy to see if you are a rectangle shape using simple body measurements. If your waist measurement is less than 9 inches smaller than your hips of bust measurement you have a rectangular shape. Fat tends to be around the middle area.
The pear has a triangle pointing upwards, like the shape of the fruit. The hips are wider than the bust and body fat tends to be around the bottom, upper thighs and hips.
The hourglass figure consists of two triangles pointing each other. The hips and bust are of an equal size and meet with a narrow waist. This is known as a curvy figure and body fat tends to lie on the chest and hip/bottom areas.
There are types of clothing perfect for each shape, for example skinny jeans and pears tend not to mix, they flourish in bootcuts!
