Body Shape Calculator
Classify your body shape from your bust, waist, and hip measurements using the usual ratio rules.
Measure the bust across the fullest part, the waist at the narrowest point above the navel, and the hips around the widest part of your seat. The shape comes from how those three numbers compare — units don't matter because it's all ratios.
Your hips are wider than your bust, so weight and width sit lower on the body.
Body-shape labels are rough guides, not rules — most people sit between two shapes, and the thresholds shift a little from one guide to the next. Use it as a friendly starting point for styling, nothing more.
How it works
Body shape is about proportion, not size — it's how your bust, waist, and hips compare to each other. Enter all three and the tool checks the differences between them against the common rules stylists use.
If your bust and hips are close and your waist clearly nips in, that's an hourglass. Wider hips than bust point to a pear or triangle, a broader bust than hips reads as an inverted triangle, and similar numbers all around with little waist definition is a rectangle.
Because it works from ratios, the units cancel out — inches or centimeters give the same answer. You also get your waist-to-hip ratio, a single number that sums up how defined the waist is.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I measure for the best result?
Take the bust at its fullest, the waist at its narrowest point above the navel, and the hips around the widest part of your seat. Keep the tape level and snug but not tight.
What if I'm between two shapes?
That's completely normal — most people sit somewhere between shapes rather than squarely on one. Read the label as the closest match and lean on the description rather than the name alone.
Is one body shape better than another?
Not at all. These labels are just a styling shorthand to help you find cuts that flatter your proportions. They say nothing about health or attractiveness.
