Hello zesties 🍋🤭
after my styling for round-faces went viral on lemon8, I have been getting a TON of requests from y’all to share more styling tips so here I am with this post 🤭
We all know that styling according to our body shapes is THE way to look good. But before we do that, it’s important to know WHAT body shape you have exactly. So today, I compiled a list of common body shapes & the list of indicators for that 🤩🤩 Are YOU sure you know your body shape? Read below to find out if you are correct!!
before you take your measurements, it helps to have little to no clothing on. Strip down to your underwear if you’re able, or put on something light and form-fitting, such as a tank top and a pair of leggings !
Another helpful tip is to look in a mirror while you take your measurements. This will help you to determine if you’re positioning the measuring tape properly 🙂
Now on to the body shapes:
1. Hourglass:
– Characteristics: Well-balanced proportions with a defined waist.
– Bust and Hips: SIMILAR or EQUAL measurements.
– Waist: Smaller, creating an hourglass figure.
2. Pear Shape:
– Characteristics: Hips are WIDER than the bust.
– Bust and Shoulders: Narrower compared to the hips.
– Waist: Defined or narrower than the hips.
3. Apple Shape:
– Characteristics: Broader shoulders and bust compared to hips.
– Midsection: Weight tends to be carried in the abdomen.
– Waist: May not be as well-defined.
4. Rectangle or Straight:
– Characteristics: Bust, waist, and hips have similar measurements.
– Waist: Not significantly defined.
5. Inverted Triangle:
– Characteristics: Shoulders and bust are broader than the hips.
– Waist: May be less defined.
now that you know what your body type is like, i’ll be posting another few posts about dressing according to your body shape, so make sure to follow me to know when I release it!!:)
