I call myself an “appleglass”. I have broad shoulders and a full bust and full hips that are balanced with each other, but I also gain weight in my belly first, it sticks out, and even at my thinnest is soft and full, even if my waist is smaller than my hips and bust. I am never sure which fashion tricks I should focus on.

Totally. To top it all, I gain weight on my arms too. That makes it even harder. I've found that long sleeved dresses that are fitted on top and A line at the bottom look good. Wide leg pants also look great. Also, colours! Darker on top and lighter at the bottom.

Pear and hourglass are very similar. If you are only 1" less in bust/shoulders than hips, with a smaller waist, you would be in between. Otherwise, if the difference is 2" or more, you're a pear. She explained this in another video. That's how I finally figured out that I am in between hourglass and inverted triangle. My bust/shoulders are 1" more than hips, both measurements larger than waist.

This makes so much sense. I'm between rectangle and hourglass. I've always said my torso is short and my legs are long. Too much waist to be a rectangle, not enough to be an hourglass. My shoulders and hips are wide but balanced. The styles you said wouldn't flatter were spot. On. Shapeless clothes... yuck. Shirts that tent out over your breasts... double yuck. Fitted shirts with a line skirts are my uniform. My favorite top has a neckline that's supposed to be a total no no for rectangles (a boat line) and the sides are ruched so it is very fitted. That paired with a flared a line skirt and I look my best. I find cutting the skirt at the calf works best to add some balance to my shape. Bringing the skirt all the way to the ankle looks unbalanced, probably thanks to my long legs.

Thanks for explaining that we can be a mix of multiple body types- this really rings true for me! I am in between inverted triangle/rectangle and apple. My shoulders are slightly broader, but my chest/hip measurements are pretty close. My torso and legs are balanced. My waist is slightly smaller than my hips but not too defined. My legs are always slimmest with little-to-no butt. And my extra fat is always on my chin/arms and tummy/lovehandles, kind of like a spare tire effect!

I was sad that I didn't feel my body type was covered. I have a super tiny waist, I have a decent sized butt/thighs and gain weight all over. I have small boobs but I have broad shoulders! If I had a bigger natural bust I would be a classic hourglass but the small bust throws everything off for me. My only conclusion is that I am a pear with broad shoulders. Would love for that body shape to be covered because your tips are so awesome!!!

are you just assuming your shoulders are wide or did you actually measure them? i have found 90% of women think their shoulders are wide but in reality they aren't. but you have described my mixed type. broad shoulders (39 inches), small chest (36 inches), natural waist/slightly small waist (28-30 inches), big butt (40 inches, but my actual hip bones are fairly narrow - just have a bit 'ole butt). these measurements become even more exaggerated when i am not overweight as i am now. 37" shoulder, 31" bust, 24" waist, 36" butt.

@@bethanyday3471 great question. Maybe I am assuming my shoulders are wide and they're not. They're wider than my hips, and a pear is typically described as having not wide shoulders. My measurements are: shoulders 40 inches, bust 34 inches, waist 28 inches, hips 36 inches, butt 40 inches. What do you think? My measurements indicate balance, small waist, just not a big bust lol.

@@misskelly2871 we definitely have the same mixed body type lol. though i wouldn't say you have wide shoulders. but they are a bit wider than average (just like mine!). honestly ive only met about 5 women in my whole life who have hips that were wider than their shoulders. on average the hips are a bit narrower than the shoulders. getting away from these specific body types i'd say you're pretty balanced lady with smaller chest. how did you manage to measure your hips without the butt? i haven't figured how how to do that. i am only 5 feet tall though.

I'm a true hourglass and even when I gain weight, I keep a very small waist. My waist never is larger than 24". But as I gain weight in my thighs, butt, arms and bust, I also gain weight in my lower belly below my natural waist line. So when I'm heavier, I feel like all the clothes I'm supposed to wear to bring attention to my naturally small waist also call attention to my lower belly. 😒

I was so hoping that you would suggest styles for each of these mixed shapes, and you did! Yay! When I was a young, busty, slender hourglass with long legs, I always felt my body was too sexy, and wanted a smaller bust. Now, I’m always trying to make my waist look slimmer (Type 3). I think you should run with the nomenclature of mixed body types 1-4, you could call them M1, M2, etc., that would be groundbreaking and help so many women!

💐Hi Kimberly: Agree w/you on 🏵️Chi's utter brilliance. She is the first stylist to EVER identify all of my unique challenges as a voluptuous (not obese) hourglass⏳. While 5'7", her wisdom still applies. 🤔 Can definitely see how her using codes to differentiate the Mixed Body Types would be an excellent learning device for her viewers who fall in those categories. 😉 I understand what you mean. Have a showgirl shape w/a girl next door persona. My body has always been way too va-va-voom for my comfort level. Wearing figure flattering, body conturing clothes helps to reduce any appearance of bulk around my smallest mid-section, but that also gives too much attention to curves. That 👀draws the wolves. 😁Admire ladies that have the ability to keep 'em @ bay. 💚 Bridget from Cali ☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

I would love to see more about mixed body types but first I want to tell you: I LOVE your videos. You make things so easy to understand. I also love your sense of humor! I think I am a short waisted hourglass. I am a busty 5'2" (34DD). My measurements are 35-27-36. I have small shoulders and slim thighs. For most of my life, until curvy styles came in I couldn't get comfortable clothes. Pants were always too tight on my hips and belly but too big on my waist. I have only ever found one button down shirt that fits me properly and that's because it was chosen by bra size. When I lose weight it comes off everywhere at once but no matter what, even though my waist is small, my stomach is still round in front. Does that mean I am apple or pear shaped? My legs are long for my height and short-waisted to the point where I have trouble with wrap dresses and tops. The only clothes that really work are fitted from just below my bust down below my natural waist but that disguise my belly at the widest part of my hips. How can I branch out to other styles? Can you figure out why some ruched items look good but others just make my belly look even bigger?

I'm a rectangle/apple. I was a rectangle until perimenopause hit and I started gaining more weight on my belly. I got fit and lost weight so I look like a rectangle once again. Now post menopause, my tendency is to gain more weight in the middle though. I'm short and my limbs are fairly muscular. My whole life I wish I had a small waist to match the rest of my body! When I workout at the gym I always focus on back, shoulders, glutes and legs so my waist will look smaller!

Thanks for your great descriptions. I also am a combo and find it hard to find a perfectly described body shape. I am a ‘soft natural ‘ in the kibbe body type system. I guess a combination of rectangle, inverted triangle and romantic or softer hourglass. I don’t have long legs like a rectangle or inverted triangle often have. I have fleshy thighs and upper arms. I am medium to large boned. I have a soft curve to my waist but become more rectangle or boxy if I gain weight. My waist is never tiny like an hourglass but not straight up and down either. My chest and hips are close to the same measurement. I gain weight all over. I am an endomorph and can look fleshy but can also look more muscular like a mesomorph if I work out hard. I have broad shoulders and chunky feet. I have a butt. I have a fairly big rib cage and long torso. When I’m at my thin weight I have small boobs but boobs become bigger with weight gain. I also have thicker ankles which I am not fond of and feel self conscious about them when exposed. I really appreciate your tips for making legs appear longer, waist smaller, and shoulders less wide.

I have no idea what my type is mixed with. I have broad shoulders but a small bust. I have short legs and when I gain weight, I tend to gain in thighs, hips and belly

Such a great video. Thank you for making it. I think I am a rectangular pear. I am rectangle with board shoulder and no waistline but I have a wide hips but a flat butt! When I gain weight, it’s all over. I can be wrong. I am not sure.

Hey Chi, I've been watching your channel for a while now and you always give the best fashion advice, even if I'm not that petite myself. Could I please ask a question? Would a body with 33,5-24-33,5 measurements be considered an inverted triangle (Shoulders 35,5) or is it a rectangle?
@nazikiwe8259 2 жыл бұрын
Finally! Thank you so much for this! I could never figure out my body type by measurements. Looks like I'm the first you mentioned - thick thighs + broad shoulders except I have small boobs.

Chi thanks for starting this topic! Strictly by measurements, I'm a pear hips biggest with a good waist and small bust ..but I have wide shoulders (so if I count those I'm a triangle) and skinny legs ...and of course petite. ahhhh confusion

Shoulders- 33 inches. Waist- 24 inches Lower ab- 26 inches Hip- 33 inches. Even though my shoulder and hip measurements are same, my shoulders look really wider in mirror. I have thick thighs. I have subtle curves but I lose them after eating something.I think I have an inverted triangle with an hourglass body shape. Or it's inverted triangle with rectangle body shape. It's been years and I still struggle to understand my body shape.

Can you help with inverted triangle and hourglass body mix? My bust and hips are almost the same size, my waist is 6/7 inches smaller than my bust/hips, but god damn these huge shoulders and arms 🤧 makes me look heavier than I actually am😤 and I'm 5'3, so yeah....

I call myself a pear, but my measurements are close to an hourglass. My shoulders are 11/2" smaller than my hips and my waist is 8"smaller than my shoulders. I have thick thighs (my worst) and wear a D cup on my boobs. I tend to put on weight all over; I've recently lost weight and am now a size 10, but was a size 14. I put on weight all over my body, but stayed the same ratio (i.e. remained slightly bigger on my thighs whilst I put on weight). Love your channel; the most informative I've come across re petities - have started shopping already now I've got my confidence back after the weight loss - was 'tenting up' before. Thank you! 🙏👏

I was so happy, that there was a video about mixed body tipes. Since I think I have one. My personal combination isn't in the video though. First I thought I had an hourglass-figure. My shoulders are about the same width as my hips, and I have a small waist. BUT I have thicker legs as well. Espacxially down of the butt-region. So I guess I'm part hourglass, part pear?

Inverted triangle and hourglass or top hourglass. My measurements are top hourglass but some people don't acknowledge this shape

My Shoulders are: 36, Bust: 34, Waist: 24/25, & Hips: 34. I look like a mix of rectangle, hourglass, and inverted triangle. Even though my breast are uneven, they are the same measurement as my hips. But my waist is about 8.5 inches smaller than both hips and bust. My measurements are like that of an hourglass, but when I look in the mirror, I don't fully see it. I still struggle to find the right clothes for me, because I either look boxy, or curvy with a full bust, or look like I have either small or muscular shoulders. I'm so confused.

@@chiomontenegro Well, from the measurements that I've seen, you might be either an hourglass or a spoon/pear, however, I could be wrong. If you don't mind me asking, have you ever used a body shape calculator before? And what shape do you think you see when you look in the mirror?

@@MoonSun00 I saw a video long time ago (busbee style) and measured myself. Looks like I was an hour glass but with no boobs haha. I always thought I was a rectangle haha. I never heard before the spoon type, I may be that, as I have tiny boobs and bigger bum. I am 5.2 and I am have a very proportioned torso-legs. I think my hips are part of my latin body (that’s how I call my body type 🤣) living in Canada it is so hard to find clothes that fit me well, that is why I ask for some help to find what kind clothes I should buy.

@@chiomontenegro well that's a bit hard to tell you what to wear, considering I'm not an expert myself. Likewise, I'm still in confusion with defining my own body type. However, have you ever looked up videos or online articles about what a spoon, or a spoon/rectangle body type could wear? And where to shop at? If not, then I would recommend that you check those out. They could be more helpful with tips and advice than what I'm giving you. I hope this helps out a least a bit 😊

I'm an introverted top and spoon bottom--the struggle is real I probably would be a apple if I didnt haves a waist. my waist is the smaller then top and bottom..so I do have a shape...so styling is such a hassle for me.

I am an apple and rectangle. My hips waist and shoulders are the same width, I have a large bust and gain weight in my stomach first. My legs are always thin and I have no butt. Thanks for your videos!

So glad to see this topic covered. I"ve been confused for a while. I finally came to the conclusion that I am part pear, part hourglass, maybe part rectangle... My husband described my shape as kumquat, lol. Others have said, at my max weight that I'm, "built like a truck". I have thick thighs with a big butt and kinda wide hips. My waist is well defined but not "tiny. Finally, my shoulders are quite wide/even with my hips but my boobs are average to small. The hardest clothing to choose are shirts and dresses. This was very helpful. It feels so good to have my uncertainties validated.
