When it comes to looking your best, try one of these style strategies. You’re a perfect rectangle if you have:

  • a small to medium chest
  • an undefined waist
  • narrow hips
  • minimal curves
  • a slender or athletic build

For the rectangle shape your fashion challenge is to bring your shoulders further out and add curves to your hips and bottom so that your waist looks smaller in comparison.

  • Details like bows and ruffles around the neckline will help to fill you out on top.
  • Shore up narrow hips with low-slung pants and a medium-to-wide belt.
  • Choose V-necks or U-necks that draw the eye up to you chest and create the illusion of a curvy silhouette.
  • Go with A-line or full skirts that have a wide waistband and taper outward, making it appear as if you have a curved waist.
  • Wear low-rise jeans that hit at the broadest point on your body to fake the look of curvy hips.
  • Select bangles or cuffs to add weight to your top and bottom half without adding fullness to your waist.
