Each person is unique, and by making this statement I am not only referring to their way of thinking or personality, but also to their physical appearance and particular characteristics. For example, dark skin, freckles, curly hair, or copper color, machinated eyes, blue, profiled nose, etc.

Each of these traits is what makes us a unique person. Actually, within humanity it is possible to find a wide variety of colors, sizes and shapes. We are the work of a great plastic artist, the best of all.

The shape of our body is no exception. If we are observers, we can realize that there are different types of bodies, some more stylized than others, but each with its particular attributes.

Do you want to know what the different types of bodies that exist are and what they are like? Is it useful for you to know this information? What could it be for you? One of the reasons is to be able to determine what type of body you have.

Does it happen to you that you put on clothes that you feel fit you badly or that do not do you justice? The truth is that it can be very beautiful and look good in another person.

Knowing what your body shape is like will help you dress in clothes that match your best attributes and, at the same time, disguise those imperfections that you want to keep well hidden.

That way, you will be getting the most out of your figure, you will always look good and, most importantly, you will feel comfortable and very comfortable. And you will transmit that security. You will be the center of attention, but for the right reasons.

Instructions for body types

Although the word body can have different meanings, depending on the context in which it is used, this time I will be referring to the set of parts that make up the totality of a human being. That is, head, trunk and limbs.

The different types of bodies that exist are the following:

• Hourglass: This type of body is considered to be the perfect or ideal, due to the silhouette that resembles the shape of an hourglass. It has a great harmony between the lower half of the body and the upper one. Also, the waist becomes very marked. Those who have this type of body, le will get better out if they wear garments that accentuate their waist, opt for straight pants and V-necklines.
• Triangular: it is also known by the name of pear body. In this case, the lower part of the body is wider than the upper one. Specifically, the hips are wider than the shoulders. However, the waist is usually well defined. People with this type of body should perform exercises that allow them to strengthen the upper body and, in the case of women, they should wear clothes with flights and with other details on the top, to divert eyes to that point.
• Inverted triangle: this type of body describes those who have an athletic figure, since their back tends to be very wide and, consequently, has less hip than shoulders. Usually, these bodies tend to be very thin. It is advised that they wear dark V-neck garments that do not highlight the shoulders, to prevent them from looking very pronounced. It is important that there is a balance between the upper body and the hips.
• Oval: in this type of body the waist is not defined, the shoulders are a little droopy and are, practically, the same width as the hips. For this type of body, the recommendation is to wear garments that balance the different parts and make natural curves look.
• Rectangular: this type of body is the one that describes those who have little hip and chest, giving the impression of being flat. In this case, their shoulders are always straight and well defined, characteristic of athletes. Therefore, it is recommended that they wear garments that create the optical illusion of curves.
• Apple: these people accumulate more fat in the abdominal area. In addition, they usually have very thin arms and legs and very round shoulders and hips. Also, in the case of women, they usually have a lot of bust.

What do you need for body types?

In order to identify the type of body you have, you need a measuring tape and a large mirror. After measuring your bust, waist and hips, compare the silhouette you see in the mirror with the classification I have presented to you about the different contours of the bodies and then you will know what type of body you have.

Tips for body types

Although it may seem vanity, paying attention to the type of body you have is important, since it allows you to accept and love yourself and, from there, start to improve both your world and your external image.

On the other hand, it also contributes to improving your self-esteem. By knowing your morphology, you can buy a piece of clothing with the full confidence that it will look good. There is nothing more disappointing than buying something that you like and that, in the end, you cannot wear because it looks bad.

Knowing your morphology will make you aware that there is nothing wrong with your body. What happens is that not all cuts of different types of garments have been designed with all body types in mind. In fact, there are brands that are distinguished by making garments for certain types of bodies. If you know yours well, then you will look for the brands.

On the other hand, you will also know which area of your body you should work more in the gym, so that there is a better balance and you get more symmetrical and curvilinear measurements.
