Rectangle body shape
- Rectangle body traits: The waist, hip and shoulder widths are similar.
- Your best assets: Your arms and legs
- Your fashion goals: Create curves and show off slender legs and arms.
For rectangle or ruler body types, Bayus recommends, "A sweetheart neckline adds some curves, or a pencil skirt with a side-slit shows off your legs and adds visual interest." Tarr adds, "Building dimension on a straight body type can consist of wearing belts to define the waist and layering items like accessories or tops. A great alternative to a dress for a rectangle-shaped body would be the crop top and skirt sets that are currently on trend."Dos and don'ts
