Types Of Body Shapes And What Would Look Best!
We all fall into a predetermined standard body type. But most people are often unaware of their own body shape. And that is what we are here to clarify once and for all. So read along and find your body shape to know more about it.
Body Types Of Men
1- The Trapezoid
If you find your body to have good, balanced proportions, then you are likely to have a trapezoid body shape. Basically, the body is fit with broad shoulders and chest and thin torso. Like someone works out.
With such a body shape, you can easily style any outfit. For instance, a bomber red leather jacket would look excellent if you want to opt for longer outwear, which you can do as well.
2- The Inverted Triangle
If the upper portion of the body is more bulkier, like shoulders and arms, but appears to have a lean lower body, then is an inverted triangle body shape.
For this shape, a slightly oversized leather jacket would look great as it doesn’t tighten up around the broader upper region. Similarly, like the trapezoid, almost all outfits can work on this body shape.
3- The Oval
If you happen to be a bit much on the waist size but have a lean upper and lower region, then you are most likely having an Oval shape. This shape is also the commonest.
For this shape, a loose-fitted faux leather jacket that’s not too big nor too tight – needs to appear well aligned. Moreover, a biker jacket can also work exceptionally well, considering the well-defined shoulder with a loose fit around the waist.
4- The Rectangular
If the upper and lower regions, such as shoulders, waist and hips, all appear to be similar in measure, then that is a rectangular body shape.
For a straight-looking body, a trench coat or a pea coat would be ideal. These options will beautifully complement your figure without looking too extra.
Body Types Of Women
1- Oval Shape
If you have a wide figure in which the weight is evenly divided throughout the body, then this kind falls under an Oval shape.
With such a shape, incorporate a coat that isn’t bulky or draped and has a sleek appearance. Avoid jackets if you can. As a coat would give a more appealing vibe.
2- Apple Shape
Similarly like the apple, the upper region comprising shoulders, chest and belly may be more noticeable however anything below would be slimmer in comparison.
For this, a coat would be best suited, which would be a knee length or maxi length. Just make sure the fabric thickness isn’t too much. Moreover, don’t wear any bulky jackets as it is not preferable. However, you can opt for lighter fabric jackets.
3- Pear Shape
Like the fruits, the lower region, the hips are much wider than the upper area. Which can sort of look imbalanced.
A short, waist-length leather jacket with fur can add a bit more on the top, equalizing the imbalance. Or a bomber leather jacket would also look well in this situation.
5- Hourglass Shape
If you have a well-proportional upper and lower part with a well-defined waist, then you appear to have an hourglass shape.
Any short jacket or even a long one would work. For instance, a red leather jacket adorned with a belt to tighten around the waist to highlight it or a fitted leather jacket can be worn as well.
