What is Body Type?
Body type or body shape refers to the natural skeletal structure and fat distribution pattern of your body. For women, the five main body shapes are Hourglass, Pear (Triangle), Rectangle, Inverted Triangle, and Triangle. Understanding your body shape can help with fashion choices and fitness planning, though it's important to remember that all body types are beautiful and healthy.
How to Measure Correctly
When measuring, stand straight with arms to the side. Use a flexible measuring tape snug against the body but not compressing it:
- Bust Size: The circumference measured around the chest over the fullest part of the breasts, while wearing a properly fitted bra.
- Waist Size: The smallest circumference measured around the natural waist, just above the belly button.
- High Hip Size: The circumference of the upper swell of the hip over the pelvic region, about 7 inches (18 cm) below the natural waist.
- Hip Size: The largest circumference measured around the hips over the largest part of the buttocks.
The Five Body Shapes Explained
Hourglass
Well-defined waist with bust and hips nearly equal in size. This is often considered the ideal feminine shape.
Pear (Triangle)
Hips are wider than bust, with a defined waist. Weight tends to accumulate in the hip and thigh area.
Rectangle (Straight)
Bust, waist, and hip measurements are fairly similar with little definition. Athletic and straight silhouette.
Inverted Triangle
Broad shoulders and bust with narrower hips. Athletic build common in swimmers and athletes.
Triangle
Narrower shoulders and bust with wider hips. Similar to pear but with less waist definition.
Understanding Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR)
The waist-hip ratio is a measurement that compares waist circumference to hip circumference. It's a better indicator of health risks than BMI alone, as it shows where fat is stored on the body. Higher WHR (apple shape) indicates more abdominal fat, which is associated with higher health risks.
| Category | WHR Range (Women) | Health Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent | < 0.75 | Low health risk |
| Good | 0.75 - 0.80 | Low to moderate health risk |
| Average | 0.81 - 0.85 | Moderate health risk |
| High Risk | > 0.85 | High health risk for cardiovascular disease |
Important Notes
- Body shape is determined by bone structure and fat distribution patterns
- Your body shape may change with weight loss, gain, pregnancy, or aging
- All body shapes are beautiful and healthy - this is just for styling guidance
- The WHR is a better health indicator than body shape alone
- These classifications are simplified - many people have combinations of types
- Muscle development from exercise can influence your apparent body shape
- Use this information positively for fashion and style, not as a limitation
