Rectangle Body Type
A Defined Waist
With Minimal Curves
Or more traditionally known as the rectangle body shape, ruler, column or straight shape. This basically means that your bust and hip measurements are similar with little waist definition, just like our model Audrey.
To flatter your rectangle/straight frame, focus on emphasising your waist to create curves. While you may have a less curvy body, by creating a shape in the waistline and choosing styles that soften your straight lines, you can accentuate your beautiful body in the most flattering way. Take a look below at some of the great tips for dressing your rectangle body shape.

How To Dress A Rectangle Body Type
Many dress styles look incredible on you, from a more fitted look to a flared one! Have you ever tried an A-line or a style with a fuller skirt? They look amazing on a rectangle body because they create shape. Gathered waistlines and pleats help to create the illusion of a curvier waistline as well, making these styles perfect for you!

Curves
Tops that help create shape in your body include empire-line, peplum, gathered and wrap styles. I also love a fit-and-flare top. These styles are not only flattering but also versatile, making them perfect for both casual and formal occasions. The peplum style adds a feminine touch. The wrap style creates a streamlining effect and the gathers add shape beautifully.

Denim
Styles
Straight-leg and bootcut are two classic styles that look amazing on you. High waist or mid-waist work well for a straighter shape. These classic styles are timeless and do not need to be replaced yearly. Opting for these classic styles also contributes to sustainability. My favourite denim brands are 7 For All Mankind & Mavi because their denim has the perfect amount of stretch!
Top Skirts for Rectangle Body Shapes
Find Your Fit
There are a ton of great styles that suit you. Opt for a-line and flared styles; gathered or pleated waists also look wonderful on you because they soften any straight lines and help give body a bit more shape. Skirts, especially tulip styles, help enhance your curves through the hips, as do styles with a higher waist or a point of interest through the middle. Check out bias cut skirts as well as these have a flare from the knees down..

jackets and coats FOR A RECTANGLE BODY
Jacket styles that are cinched in at the waist are fabulous for creating shape on your frame, as are double-breasted military styles. A cropped jacket style with a higher waistline can help give you the illusion of curves. Any style of jacket that has a belt will also look great on you!
