Hello! Welcome to my fashion blog. So, I’ve been talking about the different body shapes and dressing accordingly. I’ve covered four out of the five basic body shapes; The hourglass⌛, The pear shape🍐, The triangle shape, and the apple 🍏 shape. Today i’ll be dealing on the last shape and that is the Rectangle body shape. Let’s get right into it.
The rectangle body type, also known as the straight or athletic body type, is characterized by it’s balanced proportions and less pronounced curves at the waistline. If you have a rectangle body shape, you can celebrate your athletic image by following these dressing tips that enhance your natural features and create visual interest.
1. Define the Waist:
Since the rectangle body type tends to have a less defined waistline, you’ll need to opt for clothing’s that creates the illusion of curves. Opt for clothing that cinches at the waist to emphasize this area. Wrap dresses, belted tops, and high-waisted skirts or pants can help create the illusion of a more defined waist.
2. Play with Proportions:
Experiment with different proportions to add dimension and curves to your shape. Consider pairing fitted tops with flared skirts or wide-leg pants to create a contrast between the upper and lower body. This will really help you create an appearance of a more defined waist and add some visual interest to your overall look.
3. Focus on Details:
Add visual details to your outfits to draw attention to specific areas. Ruffles, pleats, gathering, or embellishments around the bust or hip area can create the illusion of curves. This helps to break up the straight lines of your body and add feminine flair to your look.
4. Embrace Layers:
Layering adds depth and dimension to your outfit. Try wearing jackets, cardigans, or vests over your tops to create visual layers. This can create the illusion of curves and add interest to your overall appearance.
5. Experiment with Necklines:
Choose necklines that flatter your rectangle body type. V-necklines, sweetheart necklines, and halter tops can draw attention to your upper body and create the illusion of curves. They also help elongate the neck and add a feminine touch.
6. Choose Bottoms Wisely:
When selecting bottoms, opt for styles that add curves and shape to your lower body. Consider wearing skirts or pants with flared or wide-leg designs to balance out your proportions. A-line skirts, peplum tops, and pants with embellishments or patterns around the hips can also create the appearance of curves.
7. Use Accessories Strategically:
Accessories can play a vital role in enhancing your outfit and adding interest to your look. Wide belts worn at the waist can create the illusion of curves and draw attention to this area. Statement necklaces, scarves, or belts worn higher up on the waist can also help create the desired hourglass effect.
Dressing for the rectangle body type is all about creating the illusion of curves and celebrating your athletic image. By following these dressing tips and embracing your unique body shape, you can feel confident and stylish in outfits that highlights your best features.
