The body type is given to every person by nature. Each figure is unique and beautiful, but in order to be able to highlight it, it is important to know your type and select clothes accordingly. In life, if you start to understand, there are much more than 5 main types. Your figure is influenced by genetics and hormonal levels, as well as many other nuances. One body can combine 2-3 types. However, in order to choose the right clothes, it is important to determine the dominant type.

There are 5 body types in total, each of which has its own characteristics. I suggest that you first consider all body types separately so that you have a general understanding. And then I will tell you how you can determine your type yourself.

Hourglass

Characterized by the presence of a waist and harmony between the shoulders and hips. The shoulders and hips are either the same width or have a difference of a couple of centimeters. Often girls with this type have lush breasts and buttocks.

Triangle

Characterized by narrow shoulders and wide hips. The waist is usually poorly defined, but there are exceptions.

Inverted Triangle

Characterized by wide shoulders and narrow hips. There may be a pronounced waist, but the buttocks may hardly stand out.

Rectangle.

Characterized by a thin physique and a triangle-like top – there is no obvious waist or curves.

Apple

The top and riding breeches are harmonious, without sharp transitions. May have a small waist. The difference with a rectangle is that girls with a rectangular figure often have a thin physique, while an apple is characterized by fullness and excess weight in the breeches area and on the sides.

How to determine your body type?

There are many methods with measurements, but doing them yourself is very problematic, so you need to stand in your underwear in front of the mirror and answer yourself 4 main questions:

1. Where is excess weight deposited first?

• Hands, stomach - apple.
• Slim build, there is a barely noticeable layer of fat throughout the body. Looking at yourself, you cannot say that in some places more weight is deposited and in others less. The chest and buttocks are small - rectangular.
• Breeches, legs - triangle.
• Shoulders, upper arms - inverted triangle.
• Fat is harmoniously distributed over the upper and lower parts, there is a waist - hourglass.

1. What size are your shoulders and hips?

• Identical or almost identical (with a difference of a couple of cm) – hourglass.
• Shoulders are bigger - triangle.
• More hips - inverted triangle.
• The shoulders are larger, but not much (with a difference of up to 5 cm) – rectangle.
• The hips are larger, but not much (with a difference of up to 5 cm) – apple.

1. Is the transition on your body from waist to legs smooth, abrupt, or is there no waist at all?

• Small waist - inverted triangle, apple.
• There is no waist, or very small, the transition is straight, without a pronounced bend - rectangle, triangle.
• Pronounced waist, smooth and clearly visible transition - hourglass.

1. Do you have clear transitions from one part of the body to another: without unnecessary bends and angularity, or are the transitions soft and with bends?

• Soft transitions – apple, hourglass.
• The body is a little angular, and the transitions are sharp (without unnecessary bends) - triangle, rectangle and inverted triangle.

Now look at your answers. Which of the listed body types do you have more of, then this is what you belong to.

If you can’t figure out what your body type is because there are characteristics of several of them, then it’s worth determining your dominant type. For example, if you have a thin waist, smooth transitions, and your shoulders are much wider than your hips, then the inverted triangle dominates.

The right clothes for every type

Once you have determined your body type, it is important to wisely use this knowledge in practice. Now we will take a closer look at what clothes suit each type, and what you should avoid in your wardrobe.

Triangle

Dresses and skirts

How to choose an outfit without fail?

When you know exactly all the pros and cons of your physique, you come to the realization of what is good for you. In order not to make a mistake with your outfit, be sure to imagine the finished image down to the smallest detail. For example, not the most the best option just buy a beautiful blouse if it doesn’t emphasize your figure and you have little idea what to pair it with.

Remember that clothing can visually change your figure, correct asymmetry and add volume where needed. The main thing is to choose your outfits wisely.

Any woman who takes care of herself must know her body type in order to avoid mistakes in choosing a wardrobe. This knowledge will help to even out the proportions of the figure and emphasize its advantages.

First, you need to figure out which of the five main body types is yours. To do this, you need to answer a few simple questions.

Which part of your figure is narrower: hips or shoulders?

If your hips are wider than your shoulders, then your body type is “ triangle".

If it's the other way around -" inverted triangle".

Popular

If the hips and shoulders are approximately the same width, minor clarifications are needed. Does your figure have a pronounced waist?

If your waist is much narrower than the width of your hips and shoulders, your type is “ hourglass".

If not, the last question will clear your doubts. Do you have impressive breast size?

She answered positively — your type" apple". Negative - you athletic build figures.

Now we’ll tell you which things are most suitable for each type, allowing you to focus on the advantages and visually smooth out minor shortcomings.

Triangle

In “triangles,” the upper part of the body is visually much narrower than the lower part, so the main task with such a figure is to balance the volumes of the top and bottom. A dress with a fitted bodice and a flared hem is perfect for this. New look style images will become perfect choice. They will advantageously demonstrate the fragility of the arms and collarbones and hide excess volume in the hips.

Inverted Triangle

The problem with "inverted triangles" is obviously the exact opposite - a strong visual difference between a wide top and almost the same width at the waist and hips. What thing can balance the imbalance? This is a fitted jacket, slightly flared at the bottom. It will clearly define the waistline, and the wide bottom will visually add volume to the hips.

Athletic silhouette

For girls with an athletic body type, there is no strong difference between the width of the shoulders, waist and hips. The problem of achieving balance in the silhouette can be solved by a skirt that visually increases the volume of the hips due to the cut or decorative details - ruffles, draperies or patch pockets. With such a skirt, the desired volume in the hips will be achieved.

Apple

Apples often have problems distributing weight in the shoulders, back and waist. With thin legs, everything accumulated over the winter is concentrated in the upper part of the body. However, it’s easy to hide this with a loose-fitting or low-waisted dress. It does not place a pronounced emphasis on the belt and demonstrates strong point- slender legs. And options with a low waistline also elongate the silhouette.

Hourglass

Draw attention to strengths" hourglass“Wrap jackets or blouses will help. They emphasize a thin waist and seductive neckline. Paired with skinny jeans or a pencil skirt, they make it clear that you have nothing to hide - nature has endowed you with the most successful body type of all.

Love yourself and your body and stay stylish and fashionable!

Do you want us to tell you the worst secret? Ready? There is no such thing as an imperfect figure. Yes, yes, we were not mistaken “does not exist”. If you are not satisfied with your appearance, then only for the reason that you choose the wrong clothes. After all, in order to look like a millionaire, you just need to find out what type of figure you have. With this information, you can easily choose an outfit that will hide your flaws and highlight your strengths.
A large number of fashion magazines and no less fashion stylists advise: “you need to determine your body type in order to then accurately select clothes.” So it is, but what type of figure do I have, you ask. There are only five main types of figures. Let's look at each one separately together.

How to determine your body type?

Hourglass (X-type)

This is a classic body type: the hips and shoulders are equal in width, making the upper and lower body look proportional. The waist of the “watch” is often pronounced, sometimes even too narrow. When an X-type woman gains weight, excess fat is deposited primarily on the chest and hips. Plus, so-called “ears” appear on the hips.

And it doesn’t matter at all how many kilograms you gain, your waist will still be clearly visible. And even if you lose a lot of weight, your hips will still look feminine. In a word - you are incredibly lucky!

How to find out your body type"hourglass"?

• You have a round shape (large bust and pronounced buttocks).
• Your waist can be called “aspen”. At any weight, you never “lose” it.
• You have rounded shoulders and legs.
• You realize that you have gained extra pounds when you see that your hips and buttocks have slightly increased in size and your favorite jeans are difficult to put on.

It is very simple to determine this type of figure by its parameters: if your hips are wider than your shoulders, then you are considered a “pear”. Otherwise, you have everything the same as the hourglass, except for the wide bottom. Your waist is narrow and, on top of everything else, pronounced and slightly low - this is due to the fact that the legs of the “pear” are shorter than the body.

If you are gaining weight, fat deposits appear more on the hips, buttocks and sides. And, unfortunately, the more weight you gain, the greater the difference between top and bottom becomes. But when you lose weight, your figure gains balance and looks more harmonious. It is worth noting that posture “for pear-shaped women” plays a very important role - you should always keep your back straight, otherwise slouching will highlight your shortcomings. If you choose wisely, you will look simply flawless.

How to correctly determine the type of figure “pear”?

• Your hips are wider than your shoulders.
• If you gain a couple of kilos, more fat is deposited on your sides than on your waist.
• You have a flat tummy and graceful curved hips.
• You have medium or small breasts.
• You have a beautiful thin neck and narrow shoulders.

Kate Winslet, Christina Aguilera and pop diva Beyoncé have this body type. It must be said that many stars with an A-type figure are proud of their proportions and do not miss the opportunity to demonstrate it.

Triangle (Y-type)

Often, those with a triangle body type are athletic women who have broad shoulders and rather narrow hips. The upper body is often massive and slightly shorter than the lower body. But the legs of Y-type women are very slender and long, such that one can only envy. The waist is usually wide and not pronounced.

If you are gaining weight, then overweight They are mainly deposited in the upper part of the body (back, arms, chest), and the legs remain slender and thin all the time. You can find out how to choose clothes according to your body type.

How to determine a woman’s “triangle” body type:

• Your shoulders are noticeably wider than your hips.
• You have a narrow pelvis and flat buttocks.
• Legs are slender and thin (especially below the knee).
• When you gain weight, it is first noticeable in the shoulder girdle area.

Y-types include Renee Zellweger, Demi Moore, Cher and Sienna Miller.

Rectangle (H-type)

An H-type woman has the same width at the hips and shoulders. And due to the fact that the waist is practically not expressed, the figure takes on the appearance of a rectangle. Girls with this type of figure, unfortunately, are most prone to being overweight.

As you gain weight, your figure becomes more rectangular, and your belly also protrudes. But, if you lose weight, then your body can be called perfect. Let us remind you that for a “rectangle” it must have a special cut.

How to determine the type of figure “rectangle”?

• Your hips and shoulders are the same width.
• The body can be called stocky.
• You have slender beautiful legs.
• Your waist doesn't really stand out.
• Your hips are straight and your buttocks are flat.
• You have straight legs and arms.

The “rectangle” type includes Cameron Diaz, Mila Jovovich, Keira Knightley and Lindsay Lohan.

Apple (O-type)

The “apple” body type can be called the most disproportionate, but Rubens praised only women with such a figure.

Your middle part (waist and stomach) is the most prominent, although your legs are relatively thin and your hips and buttocks are quite thin. If you gain weight, the extra pounds are distributed mainly in the waist and abdomen. It is worth remembering that you need to carefully select not only the style, but also the color.

How to find out your apple body type?

• Your shoulders and hips are approximately the same width.
• You have smooth curves and lines from your shoulders to your hips.
• You tend to be overweight.

Bright representatives of the “apple type” are Alla Pugacheva and Kelly Osborne.

How to determine your body type (test)

If even after reading this article you find it difficult to imagine what type you are, then you need a test that can determine your body type online.

The ideal female figure is a dream. Do female body types determine ideal body proportions? There are no imperfect figures. Every female body is completely original, by nature. Health, natural flexibility and soft feminine energy form a unique image.

Types of figures are distinguished for the convenience of classifying natural diversity. It is impossible to classify natural perfection according to one criterion, therefore there are various classifications of female figures according to different characteristics. Let's look at the most common ones.

This classification is based on the proportional ratio of body parts - shoulders, waist, hips, length of arms and legs. Using it, it is easy to determine your type. Depending on the type, you can purposefully create a wardrobe that will help emphasize the advantages of your figure and neutralize the disadvantages. Body training programs for a specific type will maintain the natural balance and correct its proportionality.

Five main types of female figures, identified by stylists and fitness trainers:

Hourglass (type X)

The standard of female beauty, a classic female figure with rounded, mutually proportional shapes of the chest and hips, with a clearly defined waist. The lines of the shoulders and hips are balanced, the bust and hips are of the same volume. The upper body is proportional to the length of the legs. When you gain weight, fat deposits are evenly distributed throughout the body. Femininity and roundness of shape are preserved while losing weight. (Female actresses with this type of figure - Monica Bellucci, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe)

How to choose a wardrobe for this type of figure?

Any clothes will suit this figure. Elements that accentuate the waist - wide belts, belts over dresses and blouses - will help to emphasize her advantages. Beautiful legs can be shown with skirts different lengths. You should refuse:

• shapeless, baggy clothes;
• too tight jeans and trousers;
• tight-fitting clothing;
• clear, bright prints;
• boat neckline (if the breasts are not small);
• dense, heavy fabrics (they add additional volume to curvy round shapes).

How to train?

To maintain your figure, it is useful to combine cardio training with strength training. Any type will do physical activity– running, dumbbells, jump rope. The main thing is to preserve and strengthen the balance established by nature.

Pear (type A, triangle)

Graceful shoulder line, thin waist, small breasts. Disproportionally voluminous hips stand out. Fat deposits are concentrated on the hips and buttocks, almost sparing the chest and shoulders. It acquires more proportional shape when losing weight. It is important to monitor your posture; stooped posture emphasizes the inharmoniousness of your figure. (Examples: Christina Aguilera, Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lopez)

How to choose a wardrobe?

For women with a pear figure, you need to find a middle ground so as not to hide the appetizing curves of the body, but not to highlight them too much. A dark bottom will hide wide hips, and a dense light top will attract attention. Open summer tops will highlight the best parts of the body - the back and arms. Avoid:

• voluminous, baggy clothes that hide the curve of the waist, such clothes will weigh down the figure and make it look overweight;
• such clothing items as peplums, wide belts, decorative finishing, passing through the most voluminous part of the hips. This further enlarges them visually;
• tight-fitting items that emphasize the sharpness of the transition from the waist to the hips;
• rigid, poorly draped fabrics that add additional volume;
• tulip skirts.

How to train?

Efforts should be directed toward expanding the shoulders and back. Walking, running, and squats will help you get rid of excess fat in the lower body. Exercises with dumbbells will strengthen and develop your arms and shoulders. A physically worked upper body will balance a voluminous lower body.

Inverted triangle (T type)

Powerful chest, broad shoulders, slightly defined waist, slender legs, flat thin hips. The upper part of the body is shorter than the lower part. If you are overweight, excess weight “settles” in the upper part, on the chest and hips; legs remain thin and slender. (Examples of such figures: Demi Moore, Cher, Sigourney Weaver)

How to choose a wardrobe?

For representatives of this figure, clothing that does not focus attention on the shoulders is suitable. Beautiful legs are well emphasized by skirts of various lengths, but not very short ones. It is worth giving up:

• folds;
• large, wide collars, boat neckline;
• bright decorative elements, pockets along the chest line;
• tapered silhouette of trousers, skirts, dresses;
• too soft, thin fabrics;
• double-breasted jackets;
• catchy, curved accessories and jewelry.

How to train?

To correct the T-figure, you need to focus your efforts on “pumping” the lower body in order to balance the upper. Working out the legs is the main goal; running on an inclined surface and a stepper will help with this. To work the thighs - squats, leg presses, lunges with dumbbells.

Rectangle (type H)

Proportional shoulders and hips, almost no waist, small breasts, flat buttocks. As you gain weight, fat is distributed to the sides and abdomen. Losing weight improves your figure, making it almost ideal. (Examples of such figures: Milla Jovovich, Cameron Diaz, Keira Knightley,)

How to choose a wardrobe?

A harmonious combination of the upper and lower parts, giving them additional volume will help highlight the waistline. For creating ideal image It is better to avoid clothes that emphasize the rectangular lines of the figure:

• baggy things;
• tight trousers, tight skirts;
• highly fitted silhouettes;
• wide, voluminous items with an elastic waist;
• strongly tightening belts, tight belts.

How to train?

For representatives of the H-figure, it would be correct to enhance the waist shaping with the help of a hoop and abdominal exercises.

Apple (type O)

Shoulders, hips and chest proportional in width. The waist is not clearly expressed, the stomach stands out. Fat is deposited on the back, stomach, shoulders, chin, turning it into double fat. The legs and arms remain thin. (Example: Alla Pugacheva)

How to choose a wardrobe?

It is worth choosing clothes that emphasize slender legs and an elegant neckline that lengthens the silhouette. Best avoided:

• tight-fitting clothing;
• large, bright prints on fabric;
• tight skirts, tight trousers.

How to train?

To lose weight, regular cardio training, such as running, is necessary. To shape your waist, it will be useful to use a hoop and pump up your abs using a set of special exercises. Leg strength training will balance your upper and lower body.

Women's body types change with age. Regular exercise will help keep your body in perfect condition. physical exercise and daily comprehensive care.

Classification by type of metabolism

This classification is based on the work of endocrine glands that influence metabolism female body. There are four main types:

• Pituitary or lymphatic
• Adrenal or android
• Thyroid or thyroid
• Ovarian or ovarian

In the lymphatic type, the activity of the pituitary gland, located in the skull, predominates. There is a sluggish, slow metabolism, the body retains fluid well and accumulates fat, which is distributed evenly throughout the body.

The character of women with such a metabolism is cheerful, sociable, and cheerful. They are artistic, but do not like sports or active physical activity, which aggravates their tendency to be overweight.

In the thyroid type, the thyroid gland is the most active. These are thin women with no problems with overweight. A good metabolism helps them not to gain weight, but with regular overeating and low physical activity, they are also not immune to excess fat.
By nature, these women are quick-tempered, get tired quickly, often suffer from bouts of apathy, and have a hard time withstanding stress.
In the ovarian type, female hormones and ovaries predominate. This is the most feminine type, adipose tissue is distributed mainly on the hips and buttocks. They have no problems conceiving and bearing children.

Women with this metabolism are persistent and resilient. Stopping a galloping horse is about them.
With the adrenal type, the female figure is similar to the male figure. In other words, it is called android. The dominant gland is the adrenal gland, which produces androgens in women. They are distinguished by strong, athletic muscles and require less sleep to rest well.
Women of the android type are very efficient, cheerful, sociable, friendly, and play sports. Often these are clear leaders.

Interesting! It has been noticed that women with android-type figures, according to statistics, completely provide for themselves.

Constitutional classification of types of female standard figures depending on bone size

There are three main types:

• Asthenic – thin-boned (dolichomorphic);
• Normosthenic – normoskeletal (mesomorphic);
• Hypersthenic – broad-boned (brachymorphic);

In medicine, in particular in gynecology, a woman’s constitutional type is determined by the volume of her wrist. The circumference of the wrist is called the Solovyov index; for asthenic women it is less than 15 cm, for normosthenics it is 15-17 cm, for hypersthenics it is more than 17 cm.

Asthenics
These are thin women with thin bones, weakly defined muscles and no fat deposits. They are active and energetic; their fast metabolism does not allow them to gain weight even with increased nutrition.

Normosthenics
The most balanced type in terms of proportionality. Well-developed muscles, active metabolism, subcutaneous fat is easily lost during physical activity. This body type has very beautiful female figures.

Hypersthenics
The most “weighty” women are both in terms of muscles, bones, and fat deposits. Due to a slow metabolism, they quickly gain excess weight.
When talking about female body types, it will be useful to talk about height. Height depends on the length of the legs. Tall women have longer legs in proportion to their body than short women. As a rule, tall women belong to the asthenic type.

Interesting! Women of the Negroid race have legs that are approximately three centimeters longer than European women of the same height.

The type of a particular female figure is determined by genes. With age, it undergoes changes depending on lifestyle, eating habits, and accumulated chronic diseases.

Determining your type is a way of studying yourself, a way of knowing your body. How better woman knows and understands her body, the more chances she has to learn how to manage it and maintain her physical shape in ideal condition.
Maintaining your attractiveness, health and energy into old age is not just a dream, it is a real possibility.
