Enter your shoulder, waist, and hip measurements to calculate your body shape, proportions, and personalized guidance—100% private in your browser.
Your shoulders and hips are evenly balanced with a well-defined waistline.
Understand the geometric proportions defining each body silhouette and how to dress for your natural lines.
Standard: Shoulders and hips balanced within 2 inches, natural waist at least 8 inches smaller (WHR < 0.75).
Styling: Fitted wrap dresses, belted jackets, and tailored high-waisted trousers that highlight waist definition.
Hourglass guide →Standard: Hips noticeably wider than shoulders by over 2 inches, paired with a defined natural waist.
Styling: Boatneck tops, structured shoulder tailoring, and wide-leg trousers that drape smoothly from hips.
Pear shape guide →Standard: Midsection carries volume with an undefined waistline that approaches shoulder or hip width.
Styling: Fluid empire-waist cuts, V-neck tunics, open-front dusters, and vertical monochromatic layers.
Apple shape guide →Standard: Shoulders, waist, and hips share similar dimensions, typically with a WHR between 0.80 and 0.88.
Styling: Peplum tops, belted trench coats, pleated A-line skirts, and fit-and-flare cuts that construct curves.
Rectangle guide →Standard: Shoulders or bust measure significantly broader than hips, tapering through a subtle waist.
Styling: Scoop necklines, raglan sleeves, and volume-adding flared palazzos or A-line skirts.
Inverted triangle guide →Compare your shoulder, bust, waist, and hip circumferences against these percentage ranges to identify your body shape accurately.
You have an hourglass body type when your shoulder and hip measurements differ by 5 percent or less, while your waist measures 75 percent or less of your bust or hip circumference.
Fit and measurement notes: When dressing, avoid boxy shapeless cuts that hide your natural waist definition. For measurement accuracy, locate the narrowest indentation above your navel rather than your trouser waistband.
You have a pear body type when your hip circumference is at least 5 percent larger than your shoulder measurement.
Fit and measurement notes: When styling, balance wider hips with boatneck tops, structured shoulder seams, or statement sleeves that draw attention upward. When measuring hips, wrap the tape around the fullest point of your glutes to record your true lower silhouette.
You have an apple body type when your waist circumference equals or exceeds your bust, or your waist-to-hip ratio tops 0.85 for women or 0.90 for men.
Fit and measurement notes: When dressing, pick open-front layers, fluid empire waists, and vertical necklines that skim your midsection. When measuring, keep your abdomen relaxed without pulling the tape tight against softer tissue.
You have a rectangle body type when your shoulder, waist, and hip circumferences all align within 5 percent of one another.
Fit and measurement notes: When dressing, construct the visual illusion of curves using belted trench coats, pleated skirts, and peplum tops. For measurement precision, stand straight and check that the tape remains strictly parallel to the floor without sagging across your back.
You have an inverted triangle body type when your shoulder circumference is at least 5 percent greater than your hip measurement.
Fit and measurement notes: When styling, soften broad upper breadth with scoop necklines or raglan sleeves while adding lower volume with wide-leg trousers or pleated skirts. When measuring shoulders, anchor the tape at outer bony tips rather than around upper arm muscle.
Precise circumferences ensure correct body type classification. Use a flexible vinyl tape held level without slack.
Anchor the tape at one outer acromion shoulder bone and wrap horizontally across the widest upper back curve to the starting point.
Wrap horizontally across the fullest point of the chest and under the armpits, joining at the front center during relaxed breathing.
Locate the narrowest indentation of the torso—typically an inch above the navel—and measure around the crease without drawing the tape tight.
Stand with feet together and measure around the widest circumference of the buttocks and pelvic bones, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

A soft sewing tape works best, but you can also use household items. Wrap a charging cord, ribbon, or string around each body checkpoint. Mark the overlap point with a pen. Then lay the cord flat against a standard metal ruler to read your number. This gives you reliable measurements without buying special tools.
This calculator is highly accurate when your shoulder, waist, and hip measurements are correct. It compares your exact proportions to standard body shape boundaries. Unlike quizzes that guess from photos, math avoids personal bias. Your shape outcome reflects your real frame proportions instantly. You can use the result right away for styling and clothing fit.
No, your measurements are never saved, tracked, or uploaded to any server. Every calculation runs completely inside your phone or computer browser. We do not ask for your name, email, or profile account. When you close or refresh this webpage, your numbers disappear immediately. Your personal body numbers remain one hundred percent private to you.
This calculator finds your shape category, while the visualizer shows a full body preview. The calculator gives your body type name and waist-to-hip ratio for clothing picks. The visualizer uses height and weight to draw a front and side shape preview. Both tools run privately in your browser without creating an account. Use both together to pick outfits that match your natural proportions.
