    This video was so empowering you have no idea. I have felt for so long unfeminine and like an imposter! I'm very rectangle, lean, and flat chested. I've always wanted to be feminine but never felt that way. Never felt beautiful in anything. And all the styling was "here's how to change your body into an hourglass" which was always kind of depressing. But to have the option to do that OR embrace my natural shape and lean into it is so liberating. I've never heard "yes let's rock that rectangle body" it was always "let's hide and change that rectangle body". I'm just learning but this video was so full of compassion, love, and useful knowledge. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤

    This explains SO much of my wardrobe choices now- I wasn’t ever sure what body type I was until this year after I took all my measurements and followed the formula mathematically. And after watching this video, I am grateful to know and understand *why* I have a stash of belts and wear a belt with nearly everything, why I adore dresses (fit and flare, empire waist, peasant top), why I love shorter skirts (I love to show my legs), and tops with lace or ruffle detail. This is so empowering to understand!

    Oh man, I love crop tops and high waist straight leg jeans lol. But I do try to create more curve with puff sleeves or wrap style (if it's cropped) and I get that waist up high in my jeans so it looks like I have one! These were great tips! Thank you!

    I’m definitely a rectangle. I’ve always felt boxy and that my waist always just ran straight down to my hips with no curves. This really helps me know what to look for when shopping! Thank you!

    I am late to the party, so this might not even be seen. But on the off chance that it is. I laughed when you talked about bras, and having had children, when you know you know. Indeed. I think though that there is a difference between long waisted rectangles, and short waisted rectangles. And of course not all of us have flatter chests. I find my particular rectangle difficult to dress. I am an athlete, slim and quite muscular, short waisted, only 5'5. Belts aren't always great on us short waisted folk. What I will say is that it's nice to hear nice things said about a less waist curvy figure. Thank you for that.

  • @YACABE
    @YACABE 3 роки тому +9

    I always thought I was hourglass because I've always had a waist. But I recently took my measurements and typed them into a body type calculator and apparently I'm a rectangle, which doesn't surprise because my mom and my sisters are obvious rectangles. My middle has grown by 3 inches after 2 babies, so if I lost the baby weight I'd probably be hourglass, but if I lost even more weight I'd go back to a rectangle which I now believe is my natural shape. 🙂

    I was so excited to see a style video on my body type that had a section wanting to ACCENTUATE it and not change it, BUT ALAS! You STILL managed to tell me that my boxy body shouldn't be what I go for. Are there no style guides on the internet that celebrate my boyish, boxy, straight, uncurvy, unaccentuated and rectangular body? Cause I actually quite LIKE my "unfeminine" body! Shocker I know! I'm sorry that you had to be the one to get this comment, but I have now hunted for one to many a night, I really thought the hunt was over, but onwards I go: into the never-ending sea of lying body-positive style guides.

    I have a rectangular body but it’s like a curvy rectangular body. My my bust is 35, my waist is a 28, and my hips are 36 for reference, so I’m nearly an hourglass. And thought I was for awhile. Bodies are confuzzling...

    I'm definitely a rectangle - 6' tall and 140 lbs. I'm not sure these recommendations work for me, though. When I wear ruffles I look like a man in drag - so awkward. When i wear tight fitting jeans I look awful because it only accentuates how tall and angular I am. I try to keep it simple. Layers work. I've also recently started getting my clothes tailored. Tailored clothes are expensive up front but I think I'm saving money because I'm not ending up with a bunch of clothes I don't wear or feel uncomfortable in.

      Hi Lidia! From your measurements alone, it appears your are a combo- triangle and maybe a little rectangular (although it's tough to tell without a photo). Regardless, you should be working to define your waist and then accentuate your shoulders to balance them out. Hope that helps!

When i gain a lot of extra weight i turn into an apple, i then become a triangle, followed by now a rectangular and at lowest weight an inverted triangle. My hips lose the most (42 to 34) my waist doesn't get lower than 27 inches and 36/37 bust.

      Hi Anna! The greatest part of having your body shape is that nearly every jean style will look good on you! If you want to appear taller, then I would play with shape and flare in your pants. A high-waisted flared pant is going to help you appear taller than a cropped skinny or slim pant. Does that help?

No matter how I try to style belts or wrapped shirts or anything that brings the waist in...it always sits directly under my boobs. Like I literally have three inches between the bottom of my boobs and my belly button. My bottom rib and my hip bone have like an inch of clearance. I try not to hate my body because it is strong and healthy but god dammit sometimes I feel like a little hobbling goblin.

    Oh my goodness. I think I was deceived. Since I have always been busty and have fat on my tummy I thought I was an apple or hourglass but my measurements when skinny were 32-28-32 and now that I have baby weight I am 40-34-40. So I'm more of a rectangle right? A lot of these styles are what looks good. Not all of these styles work because the large chest has to be considered.

  • @kimberlyperrotis8962
    @kimberlyperrotis8962 3 роки тому

    I like your video, but I have to say that bust size is independent of body type, it doesn’t depend on it, nor does it correlate at all. In this respect, it’s similar to the roundness of the butt, or size of the thighs, any shape can have a rounder or flatter bottom, or fuller or slimmer thighs. It’s the proportions of shoulders, waist and hips that determine body type. Bust size (natural) is determined by genetics and to a lesser extent, by BMI. Rectangle shapes can vary from an A- cup to an I+ (is that still the largest, or am I out-of-date?).

    I'm a spoon rectangle thing, i hate my thighs honestly but I'm glad I'm not that curvy lmao
    i hate how our body shape will tell us how to dress because i have my own aesthetic style that i want to wear :/
    most are crop tops with high waist skirts, shorts or jeans, oversized hoodies usually fit me a lot

      You do you! These are only suggestions based on having a balanced silhouette.

    It’s not at all easy to find clothes that fit, much less flatter, my rectangular shape.

    If you are petite... meaning short & you have a rectangle body & a short waist (& long legs & arms) most of this info will not work nicely . Especially belts !

    Can’t for the life of me wear skinny jeans because accentuating straight hips and boxy waist is not a look

    Why do millennials think it’s ok to say “these ones”. Practice saying only “these”.
