Determine the shape of the body. Pay attention to the curves to see the alignment between the bust, waist and hips. [1] X Research Source
- The body shape in the article is described according to the body of a woman , not a girl who has not yet passed puberty. Although sometimes you can still determine the body shape before adulthood, it is only after the chest, hips, and other parts of the body have fully developed that the marks become apparent.
- Measure bust, waist and hip size. Depending on the size of each part, you can determine the shape of your body to find the right outfit. [2] X Research Source
- There is no such thing as “best” or “worst” body shape. A certain body shape may be fashionable in a certain area for a period of time, but that doesn’t mean your body shape is “bad”.
- All body shapes have advantages and disadvantages. Learn about your figure to learn how to dress well.
- Even a model’s body shape falls into one of these groups.

The body is shaped like an apple . This figure is generally described as having a “full upper body”, about 14% of women have a bust more than 7cm larger than their butt. Just look in the mirror and you can recognize your apple-shaped body. [3] X Research Sources
- You have slender limbs, especially arms, but broad shoulders are often the most defining feature of this figure.
- Weight will usually be concentrated around the midsection and chest, so the chest and abdomen are often large.
- If you have naturally small breasts, the weight will be concentrated in the diaphragm.
- Just below the midsection, the curve of the waist is not obvious, so the fullness of the upper body is clearly visible.
- Even though you have a full upper body, your legs will be very slim.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2e/Dress-for-Your-Body-Type-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Dress- for-Your-Body-Type-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2e/Dress-for-Your-Body- Type-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Dress-for-Your-Body-Type-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
The body has a “pear” shape. The opposite of the apple shape is the pear shape . This shape will have a full lower body (or body that looks like a triangle), only about 20% of women have a bigger butt than their bust. [4] X Research Sources
- You’ll quickly notice if you have this body shape, because the lower body: hips, thighs and sometimes butt will be fuller.
- Shoulders are usually small, slightly slanted and not too wide.
- This body shape is often described as having “sexy curves”. This shape is easy to recognize by looking at the legs because sometimes they will be bigger, more muscular and fuller than other parts of the body.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a5/Dress-for-Your-Body-Type-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Dress- for-Your-Body-Type-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a5/Dress-for-Your-Body- Type-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Dress-for-Your-Body-Type-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
The body has a straight/rectangular shape . About 46% of women have this shape with a waist the same size as the bust and hips. Your body won’t have curves like a pear or apple shape. Instead, you’ll look straight with flat shoulders. [5] X Research Sources
- Unlike the above two body shapes; The best way to determine body rectangle shape is to measure. At that time, you will see that the waist is about 2.5cm to 20cm smaller than the bust.
- When standing upright, you won’t be able to clearly see the curve in the waist.
- The ribs are the defining part of your figure as there is no defined waist to create curves.
- Even though your body is rectangular, you can still have curves in the lower body (like the lower part of a pear shape) or large breasts with some weight concentrated in the abdomen.

Body with hourglass shape. This is a less common shape with only about 8% of women owning it. Hip and bust sizes are usually the same with a small waist. [6] X Research Sources
- Unlike other body shapes, the hourglass body shape has a defined waistline.
- Sharp curves. Fat usually accumulates evenly in the body.
- When you look in the mirror, you will see that your hips and bust are the same size.
- You still have an hourglass figure when your biceps are slightly fleshy, your shoulders appear horizontal, and your lower body is full.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/50/Dress-for-Your-Body-Type-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Dress- for-Your-Body-Type-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/50/Dress-for-Your-Body- Type-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Dress-for-Your-Body-Type-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
You should know that your current body shape can be adjusted with diet and exercise. Genetics will determine the accumulation of fat in the body; This innate factor cannot be changed. However, if you are not overweight, your body shape will not be oversized or the difference between sections will be obvious. Slim women tend to have more similar body shapes than overweight women.
- You cannot “reduce region size”. It’s not possible to slim down a certain body part, but you can do abs workout to get flat abs. However, the body does not only lose weight in one area. For women, weight loss will be evident in the chest, hips and buttocks regardless of whether you want it or not.
- You cannot “increase the size of each region”. Likewise, without surgery you cannot increase the size of certain areas of the body. Chest exercises or creams won’t make your breasts bigger. Although chest exercises make the chest area firm, it does not increase the size of the bust.
- Some body shapes tend to gain or lose weight in specific areas. For example, women with an hourglass figure often gain or lose weight in the bust and hips, but the waist is not affected. And women with pear-shaped bodies often gain weight in the hips but not in the chest even though it’s the same weight.
- Cardiovascular and endurance exercises are often used to reshape the body. By understanding which areas of your body are most likely to accumulate fat or lose weight quickly, you can create a workout plan that’s right for your body’s needs. [7] X Research Sources
- Remember that clothing enhances your figure, not the other way around. Actors, models often look good in dresses regardless of body shape. In fact, models don’t have to look good in all their outfits. When designers plan a photo shoot or show, they choose the model whose body shape suits the outfit best…the model can’t adjust her body accordingly.
- How has the ideal body shape changed over time? In the Americas, during Victorian times, the “hourglass shape” represented perfection and women often wore corsets to achieve that shape. In the 1920s, the ideal female body shape was the masculine “Rectangle”, so women had to wear belts and corsets to have flat breasts. [8] X Research Sources
- Different cultures and subcultures will have different conceptions of the ideal body shape. African-American women in the United States are often praised for their curvaceous, curvaceous buttocks. However, Japanese women do not see that as ideal.

Consider genetics. Genetics play an important role in shaping the body. Observe the women in your family and see what they have in common. If everyone is usually in the same shape, then you probably are too. Note, both paternal and maternal families have an influence on you!
Choose clothes for each body shape
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/38/Dress-for-Your-Body-Type-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dress- for-Your-Body-Type-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/38/Dress-for-Your-Body- Type-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dress-for-Your-Body-Type-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Apparel for the body with an apple shape. To dress well with an apple shape, you need to avoid focusing on the belly and wear clothes that accentuate other areas.
- Pay attention to the body contours and focus on the first and second round. With this body shape, you can easily wear a shirt, blouse, or dress with a gentle V-neck that won’t overpower the top.
- Avoid drawing focus on the waist and shoulders/arms (wear long sleeves) and focus on highlighting the bust and neck (with a V-neck).
- Choose flared pants instead of straight, tapered legs and balance the size of the shoulders with the lower part of the body. The belt of pants or skirts should be below the pelvis to distract attention from the abdomen.
- Avoid wearing dresses or belts that are tight at the waist. This will reveal a flaw that you don’t want to show off.
- Wear loose tops to cover your upper body if you want.
- Highlight areas that are far from the belly or you can cover up with dark clothing.

Outfits for the body with a pear shape. The secret to dressing well for this body shape is to accentuate the shoulders and bust. Draw attention to the upper body instead of the lower body.
- If you have a pear-shaped body, you can find ways to slim your hips and butt or make your butt bigger if you want!
- Balance the proportions of the top and bottom. Choose a shirt that accentuates your shoulders.
- Avoid wearing tight pants or socks.
- You can also consider wearing padded bras or increasing bust size.
- Wear loose or flared pants with high heels. Taper pants that hug the ankles can make the lower body appear like an inverted triangle. Regular flared pants will make the legs appear larger or curvier when compared to the upper body.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/75/Dress-for-Your-Body-Type-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dress- for-Your-Body-Type-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/75/Dress-for-Your-Body- Type-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dress-for-Your-Body-Type-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Outfits for the body with a straight or rectangular shape. With this shape, you will have a long, thin body, often with no visible curves. Sometimes, this shape is also associated with the “male” body. Your goal is to wear clothes that emphasize the beauty of the slim body, making the body no longer straight, but more curves from the waist area.
- If you have this body shape, “extract” your waist to create more curves. For example, wear a belt when wearing a dress.
- Choose dresses with hemlines or pleats to add texture, fullness, and femininity to your body. For example, a dress with a pattern on the bust will often “full” and make the bust appear larger.
- Avoid choosing masculine clothing. For example, wearing loose pants and sportswear will make you look like “a guy” instead of a girly girl. Choose slim-fit pants that match your body shape and wear women’s sportswear to the gym.
- Choose short skirts and light socks to highlight your “smooth” legs. This also adds curves to the straight body shape.
- Wear flattering clothes. The body with a rectangular shape is easily accentuated with underwear. For example, padded bras will help balance out the straight lines of the body without much effort.

Outfits for an hourglass body shape. Wear clothes that make you look like a “box”! You have admirable curves, so make them stand out.
- The waist will be the center point when choosing an outfit. That means you will choose clothes that are a bit tight and have accessories in the slimmest part of your waist. Focusing attention here will accentuate your curves more.
- Choose clothes that accentuate your curves beautifully according to the contours of your body. Self-made clothes will be more flattering. Unflattering or baggy clothes often focus on the bust, making your body shape look heavy or pregnant.
- Balance the proportions of the upper and lower body but highlight the waist. Focus attention on the waist with a belt and a skirt that hugs the midsection.
- Women with full curves will often easily show off their breasts. If your collar is too deep or inappropriate, cut the outfit.
- Shape the first round. If you have an hourglass-shaped body, your bust must be very full; You need to wear a supportive bra so that your breasts look full, instead of saggy.
- Choose a dress or top with a V-neck. Many collar styles work for women with full breasts, but V-necks are often more flattering. You just need to make sure the neck is cut just right, appropriate for the situation.
Advice
- Regardless of your body shape, making your legs look longer is usually better.
- If you’re petite (short and thin) then avoid long coats and maxi dresses – they look like they’re “swallowing” you. Choose short coats, shorts, and mini skirts to help balance out your petite figure. Choose clothes that are one-color or have vertical lines that will make you look taller. Wear heels to make your legs longer.
- Choose the right bra; this is very important and will make you have perfect breasts.
- Try multiple options. Do not be discouraged because you are not used to the new style of dressing. Step out of your comfort zone!
- Be clever in choosing colors and textures. If there are parts of your body that you want to hide, choose dark colors (black, dark blue, purple).
- Choose brightly colored or patterned clothing for the pros to draw attention away from the flaws!
- Dresses or tops that wrap around the waist and bust are only suitable for people with a full bust because it makes the bust look smaller (if you have a pear-shaped body) or the chest and shoulders look flat and square (if you have a muscular body). straight body).
- If you have a flat stomach and don’t mind showing it off, a crop top will make your bust look bigger than your waist.
