HOW TO KNOW YOU HAVE A RECTANGULAR SHAPE

If you have an overall equally portioned body shape you are considered a rectangle (or boyish shape). Rectangles generally have great legs, balanced thighs and great arms.  You may have a moderate bust size and undefined waist, if so your biggest challenge will be to develop a curvy look.

What a Rectangle Should Wear

• wear tops with low cut necklines, V-necks, scoop, boat necks and sweetheart necklines. You will do fine with frills, ruffles or spaghetti straps. Try layering your tops to form an illusion of a curvy waist and add volume to your bust area.
•  wear A-line or flared skirts.  Pencil skirts will work nicely to form a curvaceous lower silhouette. You have beautiful legs so draw attention to them.
• wear dresses that add volume to your bust. If you have a more prominent bust choose lower necklines, but if not choose higher necklines with a scoop, boat or sweetheart design. You can wear most any dress but try to choose ones that gives the appearance of a curvy waist.(Don’t wear dresses that hang straight down.)
• Do wear skinny jeans or Capri.  Choosing pants with button or embellishments around the hip area will add nice volume.
• A sexy wrap dress (to create a waist and add shape)
• A fitted blazer (to slim the shoulders, remove pads)
