Fashion Guide: Identifying and styling different body types

Which Clothing suits us exceptionally well and shows off our assets to the best advantage is not a question of clothing size. Still, rather one of the different figure types – our style advice is intended to show you which body types there are, how you can recognize them in each case and which items of Clothing particularly flatter your figure type.

These five body types you should know

No matter which figure type your body corresponds to, with the right clothes; you can get the best possible out of every body shape.

Your weight doesn’t matter at all because what matters much more in type consulting is the distribution of it: the proportions. And these usually remain the same, even if you gain or lose weight in the course of your life.

Therefore, the following applies to style consulting: It is better to accept your physique and to know and emphasize its advantages than to try to change your individual figure type by hook or by crook (and inevitably become unhappy in the process) – because these are present in every figure type!

Emphasizing your positive sides not only helps you to gain more self-confidence it also allows you to cover up one or two problem areas.

In order to find out which figure type your body corresponds to, we would like to give you an overview of the five different basic figure types on which almost every style consultation is based. Since every body is individual, this classification is not to be seen as an all-encompassing truth.

The variations to these standard shapes are many and varied, and you don’t have to have every feature to fit the figure type. However, the classifications serve as a guide to better assess your proportions and to be able to draw conclusions for the type cons.

How do I determine my body type?

If you are unsure which, figure type applies to you, you can easily measure yourself and see exactly how wide or narrow you are. All you need is a tape measure that you wrap around your body at the widest part of your shoulders, chest and hips.

Next, measure your waist at the narrowest point. And then you can easily calculate which figure type you are:

Hourglass Type X: Waist ÷ Hips ≥ 0.75

Apple Body Type O: Shoulders and Hips are slim

Inverted Triangle V: Shoulders or bust ÷ Hips ≥ 1.05

Pear Body Type H: Hipst ÷ Shoulders or Bust ≥ 1.05

Rectangle Type A: Waist ÷ Shoulder ≥ 0.75

You probably won’t have all the characteristics of a certain figure type because it is not uncommon for mixed forms to exist in which characteristics from two or more figure types apply. However, this is not a bad thing for style consulting because you can combine the advantages of different figure types.

What we perceive as aesthetic and attractive is a balanced relationship between the different parts of the body. This is particularly evident in the example of plus-size models, who look more attractive than average despite having slightly more kilos on the scales.
