I, too, am a busty rectangle, with apple tendencies (depending on where my weight is). I also have broad shoulders. I have yet to really like the look of myself in skinny jeans; something always looks off to me - I think it's the top-heavy thing. I feel like bootcut is a better balance and I'd like to see what a straight leg does, but I've just not shopped for them yet. It could also be that a skinny leg pant needs a chunkier shoe or boot to help balance out the silhouett. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-am-i-a-rectangle#post-430085 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:15:39 +0000 Makrame 430085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, re-reading apple dressing guidelines, they all make sense to me and match what I usually try to wear - V-necks, longer layered non-clingy tops, nipped in the waist jackets, knee-length skirts, wide-leg or bootcut jeans. The only thing I am not entirely sure about are skinnies - I believe the original suggestions for adorable apples from Angie were to avoid skinny pants to avoid unbalanced look of skinny legs and wider top. But I think skinnies sort of work for me with appropriate tops (i.e., when I am hiding my waist and adding some length up top). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-am-i-a-rectangle#post-430078 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:05:41 +0000 Makrame 430078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, apple was the assumption I started with since my entire family is full of adorable apples. Maybe that's it, then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-am-i-a-rectangle#post-430076 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:04:05 +0000 rute 430076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not specialist, but I would say you are an apple.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-am-i-a-rectangle#post-430073 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 17:59:19 +0000 Makrame 430073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After doing some reading, I think I figured out why some rectangle dressing guidelines are not very helpful for me - they are geared more towards slim rectangles. So I need to combine apple/rectangle dressing, which is more or less what I've been doing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-am-i-a-rectangle#post-429730 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 00:58:03 +0000 bran888 429730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the photo, I would say yes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-am-i-a-rectangle#post-429698 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 00:11:40 +0000 Makrame 429698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, sounds like a plan. Now I know what I'll be doing when the sun comes out tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-am-i-a-rectangle#post-429691 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 00:02:41 +0000 Aida 429691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a front view with feet more together and arms down (no shifted weight) and a side view of the same are what's usually required. Slim pants and a slim top (like leggings and a cami, if you're comfortable) would also be good so we can clearly see your waist, hips, and shoulders. You can always hide the photos as soon as you get an answer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-am-i-a-rectangle#post-429679 Sat, 24 Sep 2011 23:38:36 +0000 Makrame 429679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always assumed myself to be either an apple or a rectangle. Was looking at some pictures today and thought I'll ask all of the wise ladies here. Does this look like a rectangle to you? Do I need a better picture or some measurements to figure this out? Thanks in advance for your help!</p> <p>OK, as suggested, I took a couple of new pictures. I think I see a busty rectangle with apple tendencies, or an H-shape according to Imogen. </p>
