Did you know that every body has its own unique proportions and shapes? Understanding your body shape can be the key to choosing clothing that highlights your natural assets and camouflages minor imperfections. Let’s explore the different body shapes and help you identify yours.
Body shapes
A-shape (or pear)
If your hips are wider than your shoulders and your waist is slim, you have an A-shaped body. This silhouette features fuller hips and thighs compared to the upper body. To balance this shape, Younzee and its virtual personal shopper can recommend tops that emphasize your shoulders, as well as flowing bottoms that fall straight.
V-shape (or inverted triangle)
For those with shoulders wider than the hips, the V-shaped body is typical. With a less defined waist and narrow hips, this silhouette can be enhanced by emphasizing the legs and visually widening the hips with flared skirts or patterned pants.
H-shape (or rectangle)
If your shoulders, waist, and hips are roughly the same width, you have an H-shaped body. To create curves and define the waist, opt for clothes that cinch this area. Our personal shoppers recommend belts at the waist or fitted tops.
O-shape (or round)
O-shaped silhouettes feature curves with a tendency to accumulate weight around the waist and stomach. Focus on highlighting your assets, like your neckline, and choose garments that naturally drape over your curves rather than cling to them. Younzee and its virtual personal shopper can help you find flattering clothes that accentuate your O-shaped body while respecting your style preferences.
X-shape, 8-shape (or hourglass)
Considered the ideal silhouette, the X-shaped body has shoulders and hips of similar width, along with a well-defined slim waist. This shape can wear almost anything, and fitted clothing at the waist highlights its perfect proportions.
