So, what is my body shape?

There are four common body shapes, and a majority of women fall into one of those shape categories. Many women tend to gain wait in certain areas if their body, based on heredity and other factors, and that often determines what their 'shape' looks like. Common body types include:

  • The Apple Body Shape: Women with this type of shape usually have an upper body that is larger than their lower body. When women with this body type gain wait, it has a tendency to show around the waistline.
  • The Pear Body Shape: Also referred to as a triangle or bell, pear-shaped body types typically have a smaller upper body. Weight gain tends to fall in the hips, thighs, and legs.
  • The Hourglass Shape: A defined waist and curvy upper and lower body are typical of this body type.
  • The Rectangle Body Type: Sometimes referred to as an athletic or straight body type, rectangular body shapes have fewer defined curves. Waist, hips, and breast measurements may be more similar to each other than with other body types, and weight gain is often evenly distributed.

Keep in mind that these are general shapes and many women may fall in between two types. For example, you may be curvy with a mostly hourglass figure, but have a slight tendency to gain weight in the hip area. Use the tips as a guideline on how to wear clothes to draw attention to your best features and look your beautiful best!
