The 6 Main Female Body Shapes
There are six common female body types: X, H, O, V, A and 8. Knowing your shape helps you choose outfits that truly reflect your personality and figure.
It’s not a label or a restriction. It’s a style compass to help you feel more aligned with your image and your clothes.
X Shape – Naturally balanced
A defined waist with shoulders and hips in perfect alignment. This is often called the hourglass shape. It’s naturally proportionate and can wear many styles with ease.
