Silhouette library
These categories are used only for general clothing silhouette guidance. Use them as outfit shortcuts, not as fixed labels or judgments.
Shoulders and hips appear visually balanced with a more defined waist.
Try waist-aware pieces, wrap shapes, clean tailoring, and fabrics that follow your natural line without adding unnecessary bulk.
If your goal is balance, watch for boxy layers that hide the waist completely.
A belt, angled pose, or fitted outfit can make waist definition read stronger in photos.
Hips appear visually wider than shoulders in the clothing silhouette.
Try open necklines, structured tops, jackets that end cleanly, straight-leg denim, bootcut pants, and A-line skirts.
If your goal is balance, be careful with lower-body fabrics that add stiffness or volume exactly where you do not want it.
Camera height, hip-forward poses, and flared skirts can make the lower body read wider.
Shoulders appear visually wider than hips.
Try lower-body texture, A-line skirts, wide-leg pants, relaxed trousers, and softer shoulder construction.
If your goal is balance, strong shoulder pads or puff sleeves may emphasize the upper line.
Bulky tops, high camera angles, and squared posture can increase shoulder emphasis.
Shoulders, waist, and hips appear relatively similar with limited waist definition.
Try layering, shaped jackets, strategic waist placement, high-rise bottoms, and contrast between fitted and relaxed pieces.
If your goal is shape, very straight top-to-bottom pieces may make the silhouette read flatter.
Loose clothing can make many silhouettes look more rectangular than they are.
The midsection appears visually more prominent than shoulders or hips in the clothing silhouette.
Try soft drape, open jackets, vertical lines, comfortable waist placement, and structured pieces that skim instead of cling.
If your goal is flow, avoid stiff waistbands or clingy fabric that catches at the midsection.
Seated posture, cropped framing, and tight fabric can overemphasize the midsection.
Photo quality, pose, clothing, or framing prevents a useful style-guidance result.
Retake the photo in better light with a straight-on full-body frame and clothing that shows the shoulder, waist, and hip outline.
Avoid bulky coats, heavy layers, cropped photos, seated poses, and mirror angles that distort proportions.
Unknown is a quality signal, not a negative result.
Methodology
Body Shape Detector asks OpenAI to consider visible clothing silhouette proportions only: the relative visual balance of shoulders, waist, and hips. The app explicitly avoids health, weight, attractiveness, age, ethnicity, gender identity, sex, disability, pregnancy, and other sensitive-trait claims.
