You know the drill: Pear, Apple, Hourglass, Rectangle, Inverted Triangle and I'll add Balanced.
    You've probably been told your shape before. Maybe you've even figured it out yourself. But here's what most body shape guides don't tell you: knowing your shape is only half the story.
    The real power comes from understanding:
    • Why certain styles work for your proportions
    • How to adapt trends to your frame
    • What to do when you're a mix of shapes (which most of us are)
    • Which details make the biggest visual impact
    That's what this updated guide gives you.
    What's inside:
     ✔ Clear body shape definitions (no confusion)
    ✔ The why behind every recommendation
    ✔ What to do if you don't fit neatly into one category
    ✔ Crossover guidance for mixed shapes
    ✔ Real styling tips you can use today
    Your guide is attached.
    Print it. Save it. Use it as your reference whenever you're shopping or getting dressed and something feels off but you can't figure out why.
    And here's the truth: understanding your body shape isn't about fixing flaws. It's about knowing how to dress the body you have right now in a way that makes you feel like the most confident version of yourself.

    Some people have balanced proportions that don't fit neatly into typical body shape categories. So with that in mind:

    That doesn't mean styling is without its considerations - height, bone structure, and other proportions still matter.

    Proportions in Style—PLUS I'll be covering the nuanced style considerations I work through with clients, and some may be exactly what you need. 
    NOTE: These are the basic guidelines for the grouping types but they can be confusing when a key detail does not line up with your challenges. Sometimes, we are a bit of a crossover of two or more body types. If your primary grouping does not satisfy all your concerns, then look at these cross overs, and determine your sub-group:
