What is Body Shape?
Body shape is determined by the distribution of fat and muscle in your body. Understanding your body shape can help you choose clothing that flatters your figure and make informed decisions about fitness and health goals.
Common body shapes include Hourglass, Apple, Pear, Rectangle, Inverted Triangle, and Oval. Each shape has unique characteristics based on the relationship between your bust, waist, hips, and shoulders.

- Waist: Measure at the narrowest point, usually just above the belly button
- Hips: Measure at the widest point of your hips and buttocks
- Bust (Women): Measure around the fullest part of your chest
- Shoulders (Men): Measure across the widest part of your shoulders
