Look at yourself in the mirror, take selfies, and determine for yourself what you like. I think we often get caught up in finding out our *category*. What you are ultimately after is what *flatters* your shape. The best way to do that is to try stuff on and *look in the mirror* and really see what is there. </p> <p>Every body is different - even one body over time changes dramatically - even if you more or less fit into a sort of shape pattern, there are so many differences that one shape simply doesn't fit all. Also, the clothing recommendations based on body shape types often are targeted at a very standardized judgement of beauty; long legs, slim waist, plump bust. Not everyone cares about or wants this. </p> <p>Decide for yourself what you like and how you want to look. Look at how clothes hang on you, and how you feel moving in them, and iterate as a response to what you learn.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-body-type#post-2193746 Sun, 09 May 2021 00:03:33 +0000 Sloper 2193746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think hourglass too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-body-type#post-2193738 Sat, 08 May 2021 23:23:32 +0000 rachylou 2193738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see low-hip, X hourglass(!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-body-type#post-2193732 Sat, 08 May 2021 22:18:48 +0000 nuancedream 2193732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say you are an X shape hourglass because you do have waist definition. You may also have some pear tendencies. Donna F is spot on with her comments. Apple shapes don't have much waist definition. Also, they have flatter bottoms and more slender legs and hips than pear shapes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-body-type#post-2193729 Sat, 08 May 2021 22:03:19 +0000 Anonymous 2193729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking hourglass and more x than 8 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-body-type#post-2193724 Sat, 08 May 2021 21:14:59 +0000 star02 2193724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always have an issue defining my waist. Do i have a high waist, like figure 8 or is it x shape? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-body-type#post-2193716 Sat, 08 May 2021 20:57:26 +0000 DonnaF 2193716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say you are most likely a pear, but since most women are combos, perhaps you have an apple modifier, but I also see hourglass. Do you need different sizes on top and bottom? Or one place on garments that is consistently too small or too large? If waistlines tend to be too large, that argues against apple. Oh, another thing that can change one’s shape is weight gain/loss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-body-type#post-2193715 Sat, 08 May 2021 20:56:11 +0000 The Cat 2193715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, you look like an Hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-body-type#post-2193710 Sat, 08 May 2021 20:29:35 +0000 star02 2193710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please help me figure out my body type. From the front and side I think I'm an apple,&nbsp; but the back a pear. Is it possible to be an apple and a pear shape?&nbsp; </p>
