I don’t know what is going on in their life, but it was still an interesting one about fashion and style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-26#post-1910196 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 16:24:27 +0000 Anonymous 1910196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just for fun,I ran the avatar photo through google images, and this same query and picture has been posted on a few other websites going &nbsp;back a few years. &nbsp;Seems like a troll. &nbsp;Notice there are never any replies . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-26#post-1910050 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 05:44:11 +0000 binkle 1910050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Rachylou - rectangular-ish. </p> <p>Though I'm not personally a fan of the struggle to name one's body type. I do understand it can help with looking for styling tips. But as others mention above, we are all a blend of types and all beautiful. Let me tell you, no matter what anyone looks like, there is someone who will find an unkind comment to throw at our direction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-26#post-1910046 Wed, 18 Apr 2018 05:06:32 +0000 Gigi 1910046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back, Caterina. I agree with&nbsp;<b>rachylou&nbsp;</b>that the bust size does not matter. What matters is how the body shape looks when viewed from the front. I would say that you are predominantly a rectangle.</p> <p>All body shapes are beautiful. It's just a matter of finding the right clothes to flatter your shape. As others have pointed out, most of us are a mix of shapes. Have you ever read the book "The Triumph of Individual Style"? I think it does an excellent job of showing how all body types are beautiful. It can also help you pinpoint how to flatter your unique body features, without getting too caught up in labels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-26#post-1909698 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 06:49:53 +0000 Lesley 1909698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Improving your body"? We are all lucky to have our splendid bodies, and yours in particular is perfect for someone who loves clothes... I would bet a lot of different kind of styles would look great on you. Leave the notion of improvement behind. Enjoy your body for what it is.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you want to improve your style, start taking note of people whose style you admire... I think these guys are right, that Audrey would be a great inspiration, and if you need more modern muses, maybe Sofia Coppola or Giovanna Battaglia? Whomever! You probably know which celebrities you admire. It all depends on whether the clothes strike a chord with you. It's a process that becomes easier and more fun with every year you grow older, as long as you don't let a fixation on your body get in your way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-26#post-1909633 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 00:25:45 +0000 Anonymous 1909633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with rachylou. You look like you could be a rectangle with inverted triangle tendencies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-26#post-1909598 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 21:50:17 +0000 rachylou 1909598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Caterina. Nice to see you again. I don’t think, you know, the bust actually counts that much when it comes to shape. Because the shapes are the outlines you see looking straight on. So I do think you’re a rectangle.</p> <p>What style are you interested in changing to? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-26#post-1909596 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 21:42:04 +0000 The Cat 1909596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you have written some forum posts about this issue before ... And several of us tried to help and encourage you as best we could. I am sorry to see that it seems our previous efforts have been in vain, and regret that I have nothing new to add. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-26#post-1909592 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 21:35:25 +0000 Irina 1909592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I don’t! And I know exactly what kind of comments people might say. I had very a similar body type when I was younger. Enjoy your body shape. It’s great and it’s yours. Very Audrey Hepburn A lot of women work very hard to look just like that.<br /> Style wise, avoid too oversized clothes and wear anything you want. Look at Audrey for an inspiration Good luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-26#post-1909591 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 21:29:33 +0000 jussie 1909591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I would agree inverted triangle with larger bust.<br /> I think most people are a combo of two types... so it’s complicated lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-26#post-1909588 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 21:25:50 +0000 Anonymous 1909588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello everyone,&nbsp;<br />I am trying to change my style and buy clothes that could fit my body type. The problem is... what is my body shape? I have always seen myself as an inverted triangle, but I am not sure. I don't have that athletic build... Rectangle might be an option, but I have a 32C, very unlikely.&nbsp;<br />Hourglass does not seem to fit since I have quite straight hips and I really look bad with the hourglass shape outfits... Do you have any suggestion? I will post some more pictures... This is all I have now:)&nbsp;<br />Also, how can I possibly improve my body? A few people used to make fun of me saying I am emaciated and androgynous... Do you agree? </p>
