The standard, generally accepted classification of body types in women includes 5 varieties:
To determine what type your figure belongs to, take measurements:
Based on the results obtained, or rather the difference between the measurements, the type of female figure is determined.
In addition to the classical classification, there are also different transitional or additional types. An extended list of varieties was developed by fashion consultants from Britain - Trinna and Suzanne. It all comes down to the same basic types, but allows you to take into account the unique characteristics of different girls.
In total, there are 12 types of figures in the extended classification, three of which - pear, apple and hourglass coincide with the basic list, and the rest are their subspecies:
Next, we will look at the main types of figures, as well as additional ones according to the extended classification and give advice on choosing clothes.
An hourglass or X-shaped figure can also be found under the names guitar and eight. It is characterized by an expressive waist, very different in girth from the hips and chest. Measurements of the chest and femoral area in this case are approximately equal, and the narrowest part of the torso is smaller by 20-30 centimeters or is no more than 70% of the thighs.
Despite the standard of this type, hourglasses do not always fit the parameters of 90-60-90 - this variety is equally common in both slender and curvy girls. When formatting a wardrobe, it is important to emphasize the curves of the figure, while not violating the proportions of the top and bottom.
Hourglass type clothing is almost everything you can find in stores, but it looks best:
It is better to refuse with this type of figure from baggy clothes - it will hide the silhouette, and no one will know that you have a proportional beautiful figure. Also, be wary of things with a low fit - trousers, shorts, skirts, as they violate the proportions of the top and bottom.
Not the best choice will be a straight-cut outfit - whether it is a dress or a coat. Things like this turn an hourglass into a rectangle.
If you are the owner of the hourglass type and at the same time curvy forms, we recommend abandoning too tight outfits - things should also be fitted, but not fit the body completely. Abandon the idea of layering – in this case, it will only visually increase excess weight.
Additional types of hourglasses are:
The cello is a girl with the same balanced hips and breasts, and an expressive waist, but the waist itself is short. Often these are women of short stature with short shins.
The task of girls with a cello figure is to visually stretch the figure. This will help outfits with V-shaped cutouts, dresses, shirts and coats with a three-quarter sleeve, flared skirts flared to the bottom. Do not forget about heels - it is better to choose shoes on a wedge, and not on a stiletto.
The type of vase figure is characterized by large breasts, appetizing hips and an expressive waist. The main difference from the hourglass is that the hips and legs are more elegant, slimmer. Choosing clothes with the type of vase figure is much easier.
Clothes with a deep neckline are perfect, tight-fitting outfits, fitted jackets and jackets are welcome.
A pear, triangle or A-shaped figure is a narrow shoulder and waist that are combined with attractive, expressive hips. Contrary to misconception, men consider the pear to be the sexiest and most attractive, and not the hourglass - all this thanks to the wide pelvis, which from the point of view of the continuation of offspring is much more suitable than all the others.
Strengths of girls with an A-shaped figure:
Weaknesses:
When choosing clothes for girls with a pear figure, it is important to know the goals that they pursue:
Clothes for the figure of the pear:
What to give up:
Baggy clothes in the spirit of oversize are strictly forbidden to large girls. Voluminous outfits will not hide the imperfections of appearance, but on the contrary - they will emphasize the volume and all the shortcomings.
Additional varieties of the figure:
Skittles have a characteristic middle breast, a well-defined waist and large hips. The legs are usually short and full. If for a pear the main problem is the buttocks, then for skittles - massive hips.
Choose clothes with vertical lines, use high heels to lengthen your legs. Add details to the neckline - pick up a beautiful voluminous necklace, blouse or top with an unusual neckline.
It is worth abandoning shortened trousers, as well as too tight-fitting models.
The figure of the bell has a small chest, the waist is thin, but very short. The entire volume is concentrated on the buttocks and thighs, and the girl seems squat, low.
Pay attention to the accents in the face and the upper part of the figure - almost all techniques from the use of massive jewelry to jabot are good here. Correcting the volumetric bottom is more difficult than the narrow top, so it is better to pay attention to the upper part of the body.
Give up total bows in one color - they will emphasize all the features and highlight the imbalance between the top and bottom. Long jackets are not recommended - the legs will seem shorter.
An apple, a circle or an O-shaped figure are beautiful slender legs, moderately rounded hips with a fairly large waist and chest.
Strengths of the apple figure type:
Corrections require the disadvantages of this type of figure:
The apple should be correctly selected for the figure of the apple, taking into account slender legs - they need to be emphasized, as well as the neckline - it is important to demonstrate attractive breasts. The silhouette itself is subjected to correction - visually it needs to be stretched.
Successful clothes according to the type of figure apple:
If you choose clothes with a print , it should be a vertical stripe that perfectly copes with the visual correction of height and figure. If not a vertical stripe, then monochromatic, best of all basic things.
What to give up:
A rectangle or H-shaped figure is characterized by the equality or approximate equality of measurements of the chest, waist and hips. The chest and femoral area are approximately equal, and the waist is almost not traceable.
The H-shaped figure is often perceived as flat, almost masculine, but it is this type that is easiest to correct - it is only important to correctly emphasize the waist and make it more expressive. It is from a rectangle that it is easiest to make an hourglass.
Strengths of the figure:
The weakness of this type of figure is one - the absence of a waist and this is what all correction techniques are aimed at.
What clothes to wear with a rectangle figure:
Be sure to use straps and belts to visually narrow your waist. Straps today are used for dresses, jackets, down jackets, coats, raincoats - use this fashion trend.
Taboo for Rectangle Girls:
As for oversize , it all depends on the purpose of choosing clothes. If you do not need to demonstrate your femininity and you just want a cozy tracksuit, then buy. At the same time, keep in mind that the more voluminous the clothes, the less chances there are to adjust the silhouette. This applies to all varieties of female figures.
A rectangle can be unusual and there are additional classifications for this:
Clothing for the straight type of figure related to the column is a semi-adjacent or loose silhouette, accents on the waist with the help of belts, elongated tops and blouses just below the hips.
Briquette, unlike a column, is a more mundane, square figure. If the rectangle and column have a long waist, then the brace has a short one, like the legs.
Give preference to clothes with drapery, as well as with a V-neck.
Give up square-shaped clothes - a T-shirt, a short jacket to the hip line, short coats.
An inverted triangle, A V-shaped or T-shaped figure is all about broad shoulders and chest line and narrow hips. The waist is usually not traceable, since the necessary "bulge" of the hips to the inverted triangle is not inherent.
The main advantage of the inverted triangle is slender legs, which are often longer or at least look like this than those of owners of other types.
Disadvantages:
An inverted triangle wardrobe is an outfit that visually reduces the shoulders and enlarges the hips, as well as emphasizes the waist.
Clothing for V-shaped figure:
Do not wear:
There are three additional types for an inverted triangle:
The lollipop, like the triangle, has a volume concentrated in the upper part, but the difference between the hips and shoulders is more pronounced. The lollipop is accompanied by long slender legs and a missing waist, the width of which almost coincides with the girth of the hips.
When choosing clothes, it is important to expand the hips and visually add curves that the figure lacks. Pay attention to the cutouts - a deep neckline will help reduce the difference with the bottom. Wear draped skirts and dresses, vests, coats with wide lapels.
Give up clothes that lengthen the legs - the proportions will become even more contradictory. Do not wear turtlenecks and generally avoid outfits with a closed neck - this will emphasize the chest, which is already difficult not to notice. Also, high-waisted trousers are not recommended, as well as a print in the form of a vertical stripe.
The glass is characterized by even wider shoulders and larger chest, the physique is medium or large. The hips are traditionally narrow, the legs slender but less long than those of the lollipop type. The waist is absent and is almost in line with the hips.
The recommendations for the glass are still the same - do not be afraid to show the chest and add volume to the bottom, and forget about the ways to become visually taller and slimmer - even with an average height, there is no need to stretch the silhouette in this case.
The cone is almost identical to the classic inverted triangle - from the broad shoulders, the torso gradually narrows, passing into narrow hips. You need to adhere to the same recommendations in the choice of clothing as for the basic type.
