Fashion News Body Shapes: How should you dress if you are a Rectangle shape?

Rectangle/H shape

You are a Rectangle if are a ‘straight up and down’ figure. You have broad shoulders, flat buttocks, and no visible waistline. The advantage of the Rectangle Shape is that you can wear clothes that show off your arms and legs. It can be hard to create a curvy silhouette with this shape because your waist is not very defined, so the trick is to focus on the area underneath the bust (the empire waist).

Rectangle Shaped bodies are, in many ways, quite easy to dress, but there is no one feature in particular that you can accentuate. To dress this shape and make it look its best, you need to hint at a silhouette with curves. It’s best to choose fitted jeans, trousers which taper at the end, and pencil skirts. Always go for feminine colors and shapes.

Layering your clothes is another great way to trick the eye, and avoid plunging or low necklines at all costs. The same goes for turtlenecks: these will do your figure no favors as they will make your neck look shorter and your shoulders look wider. Accentuate your best features: the arms and legs. Don’t be afraid to choose sleeveless tops and higher hem lines. It can be difficult to learn to dress for your shape, and it can be scary to show off more skin, but you have to work your assets! A-line, high waisted and tiered skirts all look fabulous on this figure and help present the illusion of a defined waist.
Choose fitted clothes and dresses that are gathered or ruche at the waist area. This maximizes curves and will draw focus away from the tummy. Boot cut jeans are a must for Rectangle Shapes, as they create a feminine look and flatter your hips.
For this morphology, you need to create the illusion of a shape. In order to do so, an empire style works well because it will highlight your neckline and draw attention to your waist. Go for straight cuts but tight ones. Belts are a good idea, as long as you don’t wear them across your belly; it will be more flatter to wear it low on your hips.
Don’t fall into the trap of buying flared dresses. They will give you volume where you do not need it. Play around with necklines and collars that will dress up your gown.
