Find inspiration looks here for the Rectangle Body Type, the gal with:
- a “boyish,” balanced figure
- a broad back, slim arms and legs
- less definition in the waist, fewer curves overall
- and perhaps: a metabolism that your girlfriends would kill for
Some tips for you, Rectangle:
- Avoid belts which will accentuate your thicker waist.
- Dresses that are looser in the mid-section are a great option. Try a sheath dress or shirtdress type style!
- Try v-necklines which are slenderizing and elongate the neck. Any neckline that falls below the collarbone will help to elongate your neck.
- Try longer jackets with a shorter skirt to help visually lengthen the upper torso.
- Dropped waist skirts elongate the upper torso and will help slenderize.
- Avoid very gathered or heavily pleated fabric at the waist.
- Try straight long tailored skirts paired with a longer tunic top or semi-fitted pants/jeans with a longer top.
Skinny pants were made for you, lucky Rectangle. Sport the trendy style with sexy heels for date night or high boots for Girls Night Out. Top with an arm-bearing tank or tunic (boho or rouched styles are great for camouflaging an imperfect midsection) and a fitted cover-up.
Create a sexy silhouette - with a waist - by choosing a feminine, body-hugging, tailored skirt-suit. Wear neutral heels to extend those looooong legs. Finish with simple jewelry and a smart bag.
Relax and look cute at the same time in a stretch denim mini, topped with a hip-length, fitted hoodie to elongate the torso. If you must get off the couch, slouchy boots, a big, fun bag and a puffy vest say “easy breezy.”
