What Each Body Shape Usually Means
Read these as memory aids for broad proportions. Your result may sit between categories, and clothing fit depends on more than three measurements.
Pear / Triangle
Lower-body-led proportions with hips wider than the bust. Optional outfit direction: fit tops and bottoms for their actual measurement needs, then choose any balance or contrast you like.

Apple / Round
A waist or midsection close to, or fuller than, the bust and hips. Optional outfit direction: explore drape, comfortable rises, seam placement, and layers that support movement.

Rectangle / Straight
Bust, waist, and hips that are relatively close. Optional outfit direction: try straight, shaped, belted, layered, or oversized lines based on your preferences.

Inverted Triangle

A Body Shape Is a Starting Point, Not a Rulebook
The useful question is whether the result helps you understand fit and find better search terms.
A quick quiz cannot see every detail of a three-dimensional body, and even a measurement calculator uses only a few inputs. Torso length, posture, shoulder slope, bust projection, hip shape, muscle distribution, fabric, and garment construction all affect how clothing looks and feels.
If the quiz result and measurement result differ, that is not a failure. Recheck your tape placement, read both neighboring guides, and use the category that best explains your actual fit experience. You can also ignore the label and shop by the garment problems you want to solve.
Body shape does not measure health, attractiveness, or clothing size. It is an optional vocabulary for proportions, comfort, and personal style.
