Women with a rectangle-shaped body are known for their lean, edgy and fabulous figure with little waist. This body shape is often spotted on the catwalk and in magazines. Do you have a rectangle-shaped body? Lucky you! It’s actually considered one of the easiest bodies when it comes to clothing. You can combine endlessly, just the way you feel!
Checklist rectangle:
- Equal size shoulders, waist and hips
- Relatively small breasts
Most women with this body shape don’t always feel very feminine because they think that they don’t have the same curves as hourglass or apple shaped bodies. This doesn’t have to be an issue! With the right choice you can create the curves and the waist that you want.
You can create a tiny waist with fitted tops. Tip: roll up your sleeves to accentuate your waist. As a rectangle-shaped body you can pull off a loose fit trouser very well. Wear this style with the legs rolled up a bit, like you see a lot with boyfriend jeans. Also ankle jeans can work very well on your body!
Don't you want to focus attention on your waist necessarily? Then go for a slightly tighter model, such as skinny or leggings.
Do’s:
- Fitted blouses
- Sleeveless tops
- Boyfriend jeans, straight jeans or wide trousers
- Ankle jeans
- Prints
Don’ts:
- Vertical stripes
