Body types explained

  💃🏽 Understanding Your Body Type

Before you find the perfect outfit, it helps to understand your body shape — not so you can “fix” anything, but so you can highlight your best features and feel confident in every outfit!

Here are the five most common body types:

---

PEAR SHAPE

🍐 *Pear Shape*  

You have wider hips than shoulders. 

 

✨ Style Tip: Draw attention upward with statement tops, wide necklines, or shoulder details.

---

APPLE SHAPE

🍎 *Apple Shape*  

You carry more weight around your midsection.  

✨ Style Tip: Go for flowy tops, V-necks, and dresses that emphasize the legs or neckline.

---

HOURGLASS SHAPE

⏳ *Hourglass Shape*  

Your bust and hips are almost equal, with a defined waist. 

 

✨ Style Tip: Fitted clothes that hug the waist work best. Wrap dresses and belts are your besties!

---

RECTANGLE SHAPE

📏 *Rectangle Shape*  

Your shoulders, waist, and hips are similar in width.

  

✨ Style Tip: Add curves with peplum tops, layered outfits, or belted styles.

---

INVERTED TRIANGLE SHAPE

🔻 *Inverted Triangle Shape*  

You have broad shoulders and a narrower waist/hips.

  

✨ Style Tip: Soften the top with scoop necks and balance your shape with wide-leg pants or A-line skirts.
