The Art of Dressing for Your Body Type

Identifying Your Body Type

Identifying Your Body Type

Identifying your body type is the first step in dressing for your shape. There are four main body types: hourglass, pear, apple, and rectangle, and each type has different characteristics. Knowing your body type can help you choose clothes that flatter your figure and accentuate your best features.

How to Identify Your Body Type

To identify your body type, start by taking your measurements. You'll need to measure your bust, waist, and hips. Once you have your measurements, compare them to the following guidelines:

  • Hourglass: Your bust and hips are about the same size, and your waist is narrow.

  • Pear: Your hips are wider than your bust, and you have a defined waist.

  • Apple: Your bust is larger than your hips, and you carry weight in your midsection.

  • Rectangle: Your bust, waist, and hips are about the same size.

Keep in mind that these guidelines are just a starting point. Your body might not fit perfectly into one of these categories, and that's okay. Use them as a general guide to help you choose clothes that flatter your figure.
