Body shape is a styling shortcut
Body shape types are broad clothing silhouette categories. They compare the visible balance of shoulders, waist, and hips so you can choose outfit structure, drape, and proportion more easily.
They are not medical categories, attractiveness scores, or identity labels. A useful result should make getting dressed easier, not make you feel boxed in.
The common categories
Hourglass usually means shoulders and hips appear visually balanced with a more defined waist. Pear means hips appear wider than shoulders. Inverted triangle means shoulders appear wider than hips. Rectangle means shoulders, waist, and hips read closer in width. Apple means the midsection appears more visually prominent in the clothing silhouette.
Unknown is also a valid result when photo quality, pose, clothing, or framing makes the silhouette hard to interpret.
How to use the result
Use the category to test styling ideas. You might add structure, create balance, highlight the waist, choose softer drape, or adjust where a garment ends.
The best recommendation is the one that works on your body, in your closet, and for the silhouette you want that day.
