The Art of Dressing for Your Body Type

Dressing for the Rectangle Shape

Dressing for a Rectangle Shape

The rectangle shape refers to a body type where the waist is not well-defined and the hips and bust are approximately the same size. The goal when dressing for a rectangle shape is to create the illusion of curves and define the waistline. This can be done in several ways.

  • First, consider adding volume to your upper and lower body to create the appearance of curves. This can be accomplished by wearing tops with ruffles, frills, or patterns, and bottoms with flared legs or pleats.

  • Second, use accessories to create the illusion of a waist. Belts, in particular, are a great way to cinch in the waist and create an hourglass shape. Try wearing a belt at the smallest part of your waist to create the appearance of curves.

  • Finally, choose clothing that creates a visual break between your upper and lower body. This can be achieved by wearing dresses or jumpsuits with a defined waistline, or pairing tops and bottoms in contrasting colors.

When shopping for clothing, look for pieces that accentuate your best features and downplay those that you are less comfortable with. For example, if you are self-conscious about your midsection, avoid wearing tight-fitting tops or belts that draw attention to that area.

Remember, the key to dressing for a rectangle shape is to create the illusion of curves and define the waistline. With a few simple styling tricks, you can flatter your figure and feel confident in your clothing choices.
