Finding and understanding your body type

Body type (pic included)??

Hi all,

Could you tell me my body type? Here's a photo of me in a fitted top and jeans.

I'll guess hourglass.

Hi Katie, I'm no expert but I'll guess hourglass as well and ask do you wear the same size on top and bottom?

In pants I'm usually a size 4 (or 27), and on top I'm either an XS or S (depending on brand). If the top's size is numeric, I think I usually wear a 2.

Both of this year's swimsuits (2 pieces) are the same size top and bottom, but in the past I have worn a larger size on bottom than on top (which is always a small, no getting around that!).

Katie, what are your measurements? I think you look like an inverted triangle. You have a nice, strong shoulder line that extends beyond your hips. I can also see hourglass tending toward rectangle, as well.

Love the bathtub in the background. Looks luxurious!

Shoot, I hope I can remember my measurements. Um, I know my waist is 26, I think hips 36. Ack, I'll have to remeasure.

I'll also say hourglass, maybe with a light tendency towards inverted triangle.

I was going to say hourglass with rectangle tendencies....

Thanks for the pics, Katie. I’d say a straight-ish hourglass with inverted triangle tendencies. You have a very strong shoulder line. Does that make sense?

Thanks for the help, ladies. I'm kind of confused though: if I'm an hourglass with inverted triangle tendencies, should I dress for/follow the rules for the hourglass part of me? Or should I mix and match rules for both body types?

Mix and match the rules. Trial and error. I mix hourglass with rectangle. There is method to the madness.

Looks like you've already got the hang of it :-)
