We talked about the X-shaped body type yesterday, but not everyone has an ideal figure—the majority have other body shapes. Today, we’re discussing the H-shaped body type.

Characteristics:

The shoulders, waist, and hips are of similar width, forming a shape close to a rectangle, with an indistinct waistline.

If you have a slimmer H-shaped body, your advantages are slender limbs and long legs. Your figure is close to an X-shape, so there aren’t many restrictions. The goal when dressing is to highlight the unique features of the H-shaped body while also creating the illusion of curves.

A more androgynous, slender frame looks great in trench coats.

Avoid wearing oversized outerwear, as it can make you appear even “bulkier.”

In winter, straight-cut down jackets are suitable. A hem that falls to the knees can draw the eye...

...downward to your straight legs.

To create the appearance of curves,

round necklines and heart-shaped necklines can help enhance your curves.

Choose clothing with design details around the bust and hips.

Opt for tops with embellishments on the chest to give the appearance of fuller busts.

Select skirts or dresses with layered, ruffled, or lace trimmings at the hem to create the illusion of a fuller hip.

If you’re not extremely slender,

and have some extra softness, you can opt for layering with long vests or open coats.

Pair them with high-waisted shorts or skirts to raise the waistline, and use the contrasting colors of the vest or coat to create a visual illusion that disguises the lack of a defined waist.
