Your outfit reflects your personality — be it casual, urbane or chic.

The way you present yourself is a perfect and direct reflection of who you are or who you want to be.

We all are different and so are our bodies. Each one of us has a unique Body shape and every body type has its pros and cons. It is just a matter of recognizing your proportions and dressing up these proportions to highlight your best features. Hence, the key is to find out the clothes that compliment a specific body type.

Our body shapes are largely categorized into four types: Straight, pear, apple and hourglass.

Scroll down to know more about these most common body types and understand which areas to accentuate and which to hide.

Apple body type
Generally described as “top-heavy”, purely by looking at yourself in the mirror, you can come to know if you are an apple body type.Thin arms, but wide shoulders are typically the main characteristic of this body type.

Tip to dress this body type is to divert focus away from the middle riff and highlight the other parts.

Pear body type
If you have the opposite of an apple body type, you have a pear body, i.e., “bottom-heavy”. Shoulders are thinner, leaning, and not that broad.

People with this body type can wear anything that adds to their upper body and minimizes the lower half.

Hourglass body type
This is the least common body type with slightly plump upper arms, broader looking shoulders, and a somewhat fuller bottom.

While choosing clothes for this body type, escape anything that gives you a ‘boxy’ look. Draw attention towards your waist. Personalized clothing is usually more suitable for this body type.

Straight or Rectangular body type
This body type is fairly straight up with flat shoulders. People with straight body type have a long and thin body.

It is a good idea to wear clothes that split up the figure and compliment the thin silhouette.

For a fair assessment of your body type, stand in front of the mirror and analyse your body. Once you figure out which body shape you are, it gets super easy to understand which style to embrace and which to escape.

P.S – Body type is not related to your height and weight… it is only about the shape.
