X Shape Profile
You’re an X Shape If...
Your hips and shoulders are BFFs - about the same width. - Your waistline loves to show off (defined and narrow, thank you very much).
- When you gain weight, it tends to hang out in your bust or bum first.
Think Kim Kardashian for the curvy Full X vibes, but Neat X’s are actually more common. You’re a neat X if your waist is defined and your bum and bust are less full.
Tip For “X” Shape:
Show those curves some love! Styles that highlight your waist, hips, and bust will have you feeling like a million bucks. Tops that hit right at your natural waist or can be tucked in? Chef’s kiss. Just watch out for super-straight styles - they can hide your shape instead of celebrating it.
