A Shape Profile
You’re an A Shape If...
Your shoulders are narrower than your hips, creating a beautiful, balanced silhouette. - You have a defined waist and a flatter stomach, often accompanied by a smaller bust.
- Your hips are the widest part of your body, and when you gain weight, it tends to show up first in your thighs and bum.
Tip For “A” Shape:
Embrace details on your upper body - think textures, boat necks, stripes, and ruffles - to draw the eye upward and balance your proportions. Ensure your tops hit at your natural waist or below your hips to avoid creating a horizontal line at your widest point. A good rule of thumb is to go lighter and brighter on top and darker on the bottom.
