Or you could just do measurements side-to-side, not circumference. I never see why people stress about this tbh. The point of the shapes is to make it easier to know what styles work. If it’s hard to figure out, why not spend the energy figuring out the clothes directly? You could always work backwards from styles that are good on you—see what body types they’re good for, then try other styles for that shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broad-shoulder-i-have-no-idea-what-body-type-i-am#post-2233878 Sun, 24 Oct 2021 07:41:55 +0000 rachylou 2233878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I third April. Circumference measures can be misleading as to the visual… they don’t say anything about ‘depth v width.’ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broad-shoulder-i-have-no-idea-what-body-type-i-am#post-2233812 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 22:55:53 +0000 Anonymous 2233812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April makes good sense. Read the recommendations for both inverted triangles and rectangles and use what works best in your opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broad-shoulder-i-have-no-idea-what-body-type-i-am#post-2233685 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 13:01:31 +0000 Tanya 2233685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, I second April. If you are not sure, you can post pictures of yourself in such an outfit (you don’t have to show your face here if you prefer not to) here and we can help you determine it. Keep in mind, one can only post pictures after certain amount of activity on the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broad-shoulder-i-have-no-idea-what-body-type-i-am#post-2233680 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 12:47:26 +0000 April 2233680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Eva -- the way to tell is to dress in form-fitting top and bottom, then look at the width across the front of your various regions, rather than the circumference around each one.</p> <p>If your shoulders are wider than hips, you're an inverted triangle.&nbsp; If they're about the same, you're either an hourglass (if there's a very visible waist in between) or a rectangle (if you're sort of straight up and down.)&nbsp; If the hips are the widest area, you're a pear.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broad-shoulder-i-have-no-idea-what-body-type-i-am#post-2233676 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 12:34:45 +0000 eva21 2233676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heey!!! I always though I was inverted triangle because I have broad shoulders. But when I use the shape calculator tool of some websites it says I'm spoon or rectangle.&nbsp;<br />So I'm really confused.&nbsp;<br />I'm 1.65 meters (5'415) and I'm pretty skinny (flat belly and no boobs).&nbsp;<br />My sizes are:&nbsp;<br />Shoulders: 95 cm (38.18")<br />Bust: 79 cm (31.10")<br />Waist: 63 cm (24.80")<br />Hips: 88 (34.64")</p> <p>Someone can help me to know what body type I am?&nbsp; Thank you so much &lt;3</p>
