How to dress for your female body type

How to determine your female body type?

Look for clothing at Capriche, your Women's Fashion Store, that makes you feel free to try on whatever you want and confirm if you feel comfortable and good in it. We can help you define your style!

Ideally, you should add your knowledge about your body shape to your search.

There is a wide variety of real female body types. To identify your shape, you can start by taking measurements of the width of your shoulders, your bust, your waist, and finally, your hips. Discovering the different female body types according to measurements can be very easy:

• If the width of your shoulders and back is 5 cm larger than the rest of your body, you have an inverted triangle profile.
• If your shoulders and hips have similar measurements, your body is an hourglass type.
• If your shoulders and hips have similar measurements and the difference with your waist does not exceed 10 centimeters, you have a rectangle body type.
• If your waist measurement is greater than your shoulders or hips, you have an apple or oval body type.
• If the largest measurement of your body is your hips, you have a pear or triangle body type.

Once you have identified your body type, you can discover which garments will highlight each feature and characteristic in the best way.

Apple female body type

Apple or oval body types have a larger measurement in the middle part of the body. You should look for garments that balance the widest part of your body with the thinnest. Also avoid tight or very fitted garments in the middle section. Type of clothing:

• Opt for deep necklines.
• Also look for blazers with shoulder pads. You can also choose women's coats and jackets with structure.
• Choose garments with horizontal lines as well as very large belts.
• If you are looking for women's dresses, make sure they go beyond the knee line.

Inverted triangle body type

Women with inverted triangle body types have shoulders and a back slightly wider than the rest of the body. Choose garments that highlight the lower waist area, as this will create symmetry with the upper part of the body. If you have this body type, try to avoid very rigid clothing on the top. Type of clothing:

• Opt for prints and sequins on the hip area.
• Try to layer garments on the bottom.
• If you want to buy women's pants online, look for straight-cut ones with pockets.
• Try to avoid shoulder pads.

Triangle female body type

As we mentioned earlier, if the largest measurement of your body is your hips, you will have a triangle or pear body type. You can opt for garments that balance the lower part with the upper part, highlighting your shoulders and back. Type of clothing:

• Avoid large belts or very tight pants.
• Choose women's shirts and blouses, t-shirts and V-neck shirts.
• Wear straight or semi-flared pants.
• Choose flared dresses.

Hourglass body type

In this case, your shoulders and hips have similar measurements. Therefore, the hourglass body type can wear the widest variety of garments. However, it is important to pay attention to other aspects such as your height and leg length. Type of clothing:

• For dresses, opt for wrap or ruched styles.
• Avoid loose garments that do not accentuate your figure.
• Wear garments that emphasize your waist. At Capriche, you can choose a women's sweater and combine it with jeans. And here's a tip: tuck the sweater into your jeans to visually enhance your curves!
• Choose V-necklines and straight pants.

Rectangular body type

If your body type is rectangular, with very similar measurements between your shoulders, waist, and hips, you should add volume to your shoulders and hips to simulate a more defined waist. Type of clothing:

• Opt for pleated pants.
• Shirts or tops with shoulder pads.
• Avoid very tight or fitted dresses.
• You can also buy women's pleated or ruffled skirts online at Capriche.
