HOW TO DRESS A RULER/RECTANGLE BODY SHAPE

RECTANGLE/RULER: Your body is more or less the same width from your chest to your hips, with very little curve. 

Here are characteristics typical of a rectangle body type:

• Your bust and hips are approximately at the same width
• You have little or no waist definition
• Your waist measures from 1" to 8" smaller than the bust
• If you gain weight, typically the pounds would distribute evenly throughout your body frame
• Most rectangle shapes resemble an athletic body type
• Best assets are your arms and legs

Top

• Use strong blocks of color to help define your body
• As for most body types, be sure to wear a good bra to define what bust you have
• Wear tops and jackets that emphasize the waist
• Choose a coat with a good waist or that is belted at the waist
• Any jacket tailored around the waist will look great
• You can use some shoulder padding (don’t overdo it though)
• Medium to high necklines usually work well, especially if you have s small bust and long neck
• If you like to create the illusion of bigger breasts, choose tops with pockets, rushes, pleating and other front details
• Halter necks will also give the appearance of a bigger bust and shows off your back
• Accessorize with belts around the waist. Heavy belts can be really good if you’re also long waisted
• If you have no waist at all, then a belt is best avoided
• 3/4 sleeves usually work really well for a rectangle
• Blouses can look really good if they are tucked in
• Shift dresses and empire line dresses work well, but I also like to break the rule with dropped waist dresses!

Tops for Rectangle Body Shape

Bottom

• A-line skirts work really well for this shape
• You can also go the other way and wear a tight skirt or pants to highlight the curves that you DO have
• You can wear almost any shape trousers but slightly flared trousers will look great on you as it will add more shape to your body. Low to mid waited pants are usually best.
• A knee length pencil skirt that tapers in at the side will also add some curves and look good
• If you like the waistless look you can opt for straight skirts and shirt dresses
• For shoes, opt for curvier and rounded options like ballerinas and pumps.

What not to wear

• Very tight clothes
• Baggy styles

Upper body

• A good bra is essential for this body type. Make sure you get a good supportive bra that will thrust your bustforwards. You will want to wear mostly V-shaped tops or tops with a deep neckline. High necklines will just make your bust area too bulky
• Look for dresses that fit your boobs and elongate your waist. They should fit very snugly around that area.
• If you have some weight around the addomen then make sure your buy your dress in supportive fabric.
• T-shirts look nicest when they fit your waist, have a V-neck and have some accents on the shoulders.
• Get a coat that highlights your waist and featuress a V-neck.
• Wear single-breasted jackets that are tailored. They will often look best when left open to create a nice vertical line, which elongates
• Choose shirts that accentuate your boobs and that don’t have buttons all the way to the top.
• Tops that flare just below the boob area and go to below your crutch can be very flattering on trousers.
• Little fitted jackets that tuck in your boobs will look great on you.
• Use light scarves in winter to cover your open V-neck.
• Wear darker colors on top to make your boobs appear smaller.

Lower body

• Pencil skirts that fit well are ideal for the hourglass as they accentuate your wonderful curves.
• Other skirts can work too but will usually look better when they end around the knee.
• Opt for flat front boot cut trousers, preferably with stretch for a snug fit.
• Choose shoes that accentuate your curves, like shoes with rounded toes, peep toes or bows.

What not to wear

• Avoid too many thrills on your clothes as they will add extra bulk to places where you don’t need it.
• Avoid excess fabric for the same reason.
• Often it’s best to avoid obvious waistbands or belts. Let your clothes accentuate your small waist.
• Flat lace-up shoes.
• Be careful with casual clothes. They make  you look boxy.
