Body Shape Calculator
Your body shape is determined by the proportional relationship between your bust, waist, and hip measurements. Enter your numbers below to find out which of the five main body shape categories you fall into.
Body shape classification uses the ratios between three key measurements: bust (or chest), waist, and hips. The five main categories are:
Hourglass -- Bust and hips are roughly equal, with a well-defined waist at least 5% narrower than both. Example: 36-26-36 inches.
Pear (Triangle) -- Hips are wider than bust and waist. The waist is defined but not as dramatically as an hourglass. Example: 34-28-40 inches.
Inverted Triangle -- Bust and shoulders are wider than hips. Common in athletic builds with broad shoulders. Example: 40-32-35 inches.
Rectangle (Straight) -- Bust, waist, and hips are within a few inches of each other, with minimal waist definition. Example: 34-32-35 inches.
Apple (Round) -- Waist is as wide as or wider than bust and hips. Weight tends to concentrate around the midsection. Example: 36-37-38 inches.
Body shape is largely determined by bone structure and genetics. While exercise and body composition changes can shift your measurements, your underlying frame type tends to stay consistent.
