J&S Creations is here to crack the code with fun and friendly tips on dressing for your body type.
The Body Type Breakdown:
According to the experts at Salameh Plastic Surgery, there are five main body types:
- Rectangle: This is the straight-up-and-down silhouette, with minimal curves at the waist and hips. A perfect example is supermodel Kate Moss.
- Inverted Triangle: Imagine an upside-down triangle, with broader shoulders and a narrower lower body. There is no better reference than athletic superstar Serena Williams.
- Hourglass: The classic curvy figure, with a balanced bust and hips and a defined waist. Who else, than Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe?
- Apple: This body type is characterized by a fuller bust and midsection, with slimmer legs. Think singer Adele.
- Pear: This shape features narrower shoulders and a fuller hip and thigh area. Queen of reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
