Body Types

Did you know that understanding our body well, our proportions, and what suits it can give us greater self-confidence when interacting with others?

To exude confidence with each of your looks, we're going to tell you about the most common body types.

Tips for Body Type: Triangle

The triangle is one of the most common body types among women. They're characterized by having hips wider than their shoulders and chest. This silhouette can be very alluring by using A-line skirts that add movement to the lower part of the body. The triangle body type can also boast being one of the most suited for halter necklines and boat necklines, as both emphasize the shoulders and chest, helping to balance proportions. You can also opt for voluminous blouses like those with romantic-style gathers.

Tips for Body Type: Inverted Triangle

As you can imagine, the inverted triangle body type is the opposite. With wider shoulders than hips, it's advisable to add volume to the lower part to achieve better overall balance. One of the best allies for this body type is the V-neck, which helps streamline the upper part. Tight-waisted dresses or any upper garment that accentuates the waist, like peplum blouses, are also good options. Dresses with side drapes or slits are also a winning choice for the inverted triangle body type. 6

Tips for Body Type: Rectangle

The rectangle body type is characterized by having shoulders, waist, and hips of similar width. A perfect body type for constructing androgynous style looks.

The best allies for rectangle body types are garments with waist details or belts that allow for a more feminine look by defining the waist. They also benefit from round or U-shaped necklines that add sensuality. Additionally, rectangle body types can go for textured clothing, allowing them to add volume in specific areas depending on the desired look.

Tips for Body Type: Oval

Lastly, we need to discuss the oval body type. As the name suggests, these bodies have a trunk shaped like an oval, with a waist wider than the shoulders and hips. For oval body types, one of the best options is V-necklines, which help streamline the upper body. Straight or wide-legged pants are also highly flattering, providing better balance. Finally, dresses and blouses with drapes and pleats also stand out as suitable options.
