The most common body shapes are pear, apple, rectangle and hourglass figures.
Apple Figures
Most women with apple shaped body have larger shoulders or chest than their hips with slim legs. Defining the waist for this body type is the key to achieve an illusion of an hourglass figure while showing off your slim legs. For the tops, its a good choice to wear soft material loose tops with capped or cuffed sleeves and belted waists to slim it down. A-line cuts and v-necks are best suited to cover the strong lower body and plump up the upper body and avoid any tight fabrics.
Straight fit and relaxed pants or straight skirts are great options for your bottoms and avoid baggy or high wasted pants. As for the dressed, V-necked and straight dresses with sleeves that adds details to the shoulder and avoid any dresses that will cling to the stomach.
Pear Figures
This figure is the opposite of an apple figure, one with wide shoulder and slim legs while the other has narrow shoulders and wide hips. The common characteristics for this figure are the wide hips and thick thighs with a small and defined waist. The main focus for this body type is to balance your upper body with your lower body by picking out outfits to highlight the upper body more. It is best to purchase printed tops with horizontal strips and padded shoulders to give a broaden look. Wide-leg or Straight-leg jeans and A-line skirts that fitted to the waist to showcase it.
Rectangle Figures
A rectangle figure has an undefined waist, smaller bust and hips that are almost the same size, and less curves compared to other body figures. It is best to focus on pieces that will emphasise the bust and waist and bring attention to those areas and give a curvier look. You can go for fitted blazers and relaxed tops wit bold prints. As for the bottoms, wearing skinny jeans and A-line or pencil skirts with belts to accentuate the waist. It is suggested to avoid baggy clothes and straight or flared dresses .
Hourglass Figures
Lastly is the hourglass figure. This figure is considered to be the perfect body shape due to the well balances proportionate body. An obvious slim waist, bust and hips are proportionate and a full bottom half are the common characteristics of this body shape. The goal for this body figure is to flatter your curves and accentuate your features. This body shape has more options to pick for their outfits. V-necks, fitted jackets, tops that sit at the waist, pencil and A-line skirts, jeans that are fitted at the hips, and wrap style dressed are all your options for your hourglass figure.
