Know Your Body Type

Inverted triangle - your shoulders and bust are larger than your relatively narrow hips. For this shape it is recommend to have tops that have some shaping around the waist and more open necklines, or clothing that shows off your legs.

Round or oval - if your bust is larger than the rest of your body, your hips are narrow, and your midsection is fuller. Tops that flare at the top or that have vertical details work great with this shape.

Diamond - you have broader hips than shoulders, a narrow bust, and a fuller waistline. Flowy off-the-shoulder or boat-neck tops are usually recommended for this body type.

Athletic - your body is muscular but isn’t particularly curvy and your shoulder and hip measurements are about the same. This shape looks great in halter, strapless, and racerback styles.

Rectangle, straight, or “banana” - waist measurements are about the same as your hip or bust. Off-the-shoulder tops, tube dresses, and belted waists work best with this body type.

Triangle or “pear” - With this shape, your shoulders and bust are narrower than your hips. Clothing that shows off the waistline are great here.

Hour Glass - your hips and bust are nearly equal in size and you have a well-defined waist that’s narrower than both. Form-fitting or tailored clothing have traditionally been designed with this body type in mind.
