IT or Hourglass?

Peony

Hi. Im wondering what my body type is. Most people say hourglass but i have broad shoulders (Inverted Triangle?). Maybe a mix of it?

My measurements:

Shoulders: 102 cm
Bust:90 cm
Waist: 70 cm
Hips: 99 cm

I vote hourglass with strong shoulder line.

The curve of your hips when viewed from the front is the decider for me. An IT shape is quite straight in that region, with little or no waist definition. You have both a lovely curve and a visible waist.

I'm not an expert at all but I think definitely hourglass. I think you need more than about 3-4 inch difference between shoulder and hip to make you an inverted triangle. Plus you have a proportionate size bust and lovely hips and a very defined waist. Def hourglass.

I'd say hourglass -- it's a little hard to tell because your legs are crossed in the photos and your arms are raised. You could test it for yourself. The difference visually would be this: Stand in front of a mirror, with your legs not crossed and your arms down at your sides. Are your shoulders WIDER than your hips? That's the mark of an IT. Are they roughly the same width, with a definite curve to the waist? That's an hourglass. Are they roughly the same, with no curve to the waist? That's a rectangle.

Another vote for hourglass with a strong shoulder line. Your body type is very similar to mine.

I can’t wear clothes that are too wide on the top because my hips kinda disappear. My waist is very defined and I also have curvy hips but my shoulders look so squared... I would say my shoulders are A LITTLE bit wider than my hips but I also see curvy hips when I stay in front of a mirror -.-

An hourglass can have square shoulders! I agree that you're an hourglass with a strong shoulder line. Most of us don't fit neatly into one category; our bodies are unique, and a bit of a blend between the different broad, general shapes.

In fact, (as someone who has square shoulders), I think they're a real asset, because they can make it easier for clothes to hang well on you.

So... I think you ARE an X hourglass (low hip line)”(not an 8, high-hip hourglass), but you LOOK like an IT standing up straight. I feel you could push a look either way with visual tricks...

Hourglass - just with some variations ( nice figure! - I'm straight-IT ).
