Body Shape Calculator
Knowing your body shape is a powerful tool for your fashion arsenal. The Body Shape Calculator allows you to learn your basic shape, which is Hourglass, Pear (Triangle), Apple (Round), Rectangle (Straight) or Inverted Triangle. This calculator allows you to enter your exact bust, waist, and hip sizes, and then mathematically examines the ratio. Knowing your body shape isn't about conforming to a rigid style or altering the way you look, it's about understanding how to dress in a way that enhances your best assets and makes you feel good.
All shapes are different and unique and all are beautiful and the fashion industry has got some styles to fit all of them. For example, if you have an hourglass figure, you can wear wrap dresses that emphasize your waist, or if you have a pear shape, you can try out statement tops that lead the attention upward to level out the wider hips. Belts and smart tailoring can transform a rectangle into a curve and an empire waist or A-line silhouette can flatter an apple figure nicely.
Measurements can be entered in either inches or centimeters. Make sure you measure correctly – bust at the widest point, waist at the thinnest point and hips at the broadest part. With this information, you can shop smarter, build a wardrobe that fits you and you can enjoy your personal style with greater ease and confidence.
