How Body Shape Category Is Calculated

Body shape categorization identifies the geometric relationship between your shoulders, bust, waist, and hips. We use a geometric comparison logic method to analyze your specific proportions against established classification standards.

First, the tool compares the difference between your shoulder and hip widths to determine the upper and lower body balance. Second, it evaluates the waist size relative to the bust and hips to identify curvature or straightness. Finally, specific gender-based algorithms assign you to a category like Hourglass or Rectangle based on these proportional differences. This method offers a reliable estimation for styling and general health tracking purposes.

What Your Body Shape Category Means

Your result reveals how your weight is distributed and helps you choose clothes that fit your unique silhouette best.

Fashion Styling

If your result is a "Pear" shape, wear bright tops to draw the eye upward, while "Hourglass" shapes should define the waist with belts to accentuate curves.

Fitness Planning

For an "Apple" shape, focus on core strengthening exercises, whereas "Rectangle" shapes might aim to build both shoulder and hip curves through targeted resistance training.

Health Assessment

A waist-to-hip ratio over 0.85 for women or 1.00 for men suggests a higher health risk, indicating a need to monitor central fat distribution closely.

Important: Body shape is just one indicator of health and aesthetic balance. Muscle mass and bone density also significantly influence your measurements and appearance.
