What Is My Body Shape?
How to Find Your Body Shape
our body shape can be estimated by comparing the proportions between your bust, waist, high hip, and hip measurements. This calculator uses these measurements to identify the body-shape category that most closely matches your proportions.
Step 1 — Measure yourself
Using a soft measuring tape, measure your bust (fullest part), waist (narrowest point), high hip (about 3–4 inches below waist), and hips (fullest part). Shoulder measurement is optional and provides additional information about your proportions.
Step 2 — Enter measurements
Select your gender and unit (inches or cm), then enter each measurement into the body shape calculator above. Use the same unit for every field.
Step 3 — Get your body shape
The calculator compares your proportions using its body-shape classification rules and instantly shows your estimated body shape — hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, spoon, triangle, or inverted triangle.
Body Shape Types
7 Common Body Shapes
Body shape describes the overall relationship between your shoulders, bust or chest, waist, and hips. The calculator uses these proportions to estimate which body-shape category is the closest match.
Hourglass Body Shape
Bust and hips are relatively balanced, with a clearly defined, smaller waist.
Pear Body Shape
Hips are noticeably wider than the bust. A lower-body-dominant shape where the hips are relatively wider than the bust or chest.
Inverted Triangle Body Shape
Bust or shoulders are wider than the hips, creating a broader upper-body proportion. Common in men and athletic women. The upper body is broader relative to the lower body.
Rectangle Body Shape
Bust, waist, and hips are relatively close in measurement. Also called a straight or banana body shape. A balanced silhouette with minimal curves.
Apple Body Shape
Waist measurement is fuller compared with bust and hips. The waist is fuller compared with the bust and hips, creating a more rounded midsection.
Spoon Body Shape
Hips are wider with a pronounced high hip curve. Similar to pear but with a more dramatic hip shelf. The high hip is noticeably wider than the waist.
Triangle Body Shape
The lower body is wider than the upper body, with hips that are proportionally wider than the bust or chest.

Measurement Guide
How to Measure Your Body for the Calculator
Taking your measurements carefully helps you get a more consistent body shape estimate. Use a soft tape measure and stand naturally while measuring.
How to Measure Bust
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level and parallel to the floor. Do not pull the tape tight. Measure in a well-fitted, non-padded bra or no bra.
How to Measure Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist — usually about 1 inch above your belly button. Keep the tape snug but not tight. Breathe normally; do not suck in.
How to Measure Hips
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, usually 7–9 inches below your natural waist. Keep feet together and the tape level all the way around.
