What Is My Body Shape?
How to Find Your Body Shape
Your body shape is determined by the ratio of your bust, waist, high hip, and hip measurements. This body shape calculator compares those proportions to identify your most likely body type — no guessing, no quiz, just measurements.
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). Optional: add your shoulder width for a more accurate result.
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 standard body shape rules and instantly shows your most likely body shape — hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, spoon, or inverted triangle.
Body Shape Types
The 7 Main Body Shapes for Women and Men
Every body is unique, but most people's proportions fall into one of these common body shape categories. Learn the difference between each body type below.
Hourglass Body Shape
Bust and hips are balanced, with a clearly defined, smaller waist. Waist is roughly 25–30% smaller than bust or hips. Often considered the classic female body shape.
Pear Body Shape
Hips are noticeably wider than the bust. Also called a triangle body shape. Common in women; weight tends to be carried in the hips, thighs, and buttocks.
Inverted Triangle Body Shape
Bust or shoulders are wider than the hips. 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. Weight is carried mainly in the midsection. Common in both men and women.
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
Lower body is clearly wider than the upper body. Hips are significantly larger than the bust. A more pronounced version of the pear shape.
Why Use This Tool
The Most Accurate Free Body Shape Calculator Online
Most body shape quizzes guess based on vague questions. This calculator uses your actual body measurements — the same method used by fashion stylists and clothing designers — for a more accurate body shape estimate.
Measurement-based accuracy
Uses bust, waist, high hip, hip, and optional shoulder measurements — not guesses. Proportion ratios are compared using standard body shape classification rules used across the fashion industry.
Works for men and women
This body shape calculator includes both male and female options. Whether you're a man trying to determine your body type or a woman finding your female body shape, this tool works for both.
Inches and centimeters
Works with both imperial (inches) and metric (cm) measurements. Just make sure every measurement uses the same unit for an accurate result.
Optional shoulder measurement
Adding your shoulder width makes the calculator more accurate — especially for inverted triangle body shapes and male body types where shoulder width matters most.

Measurement Guide
How to Measure Your Body for the Calculator
Getting accurate measurements is the most important step. Inaccurate measurements lead to incorrect body shape results. Use a soft tape measure and stand naturally.
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.
Waist vs High Hip vs Hips
Learn the difference between waist, high hip (3–4 inches below waist), and hip measurements. The high hip measurement is what makes this calculator more accurate than basic 3-measurement tools.

FAQ
Body Shape Calculator – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about body shape, body type, measurements, and how this calculator works.
What is my body shape?
Your body shape is determined by the ratio of your bust, waist, high hip, and hip measurements. Enter your measurements into this free body shape calculator to find out instantly. Common female body shapes include hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, spoon, and inverted triangle. Common male body shapes include rectangle, inverted triangle, oval, and trapezoid.
What is a body shape calculator?
A body shape calculator is a tool that uses your body measurements — typically bust, waist, high hip, and hips — to estimate your body shape. It compares the ratios between these measurements and matches them to standard body shape categories such as hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, spoon, and inverted triangle.
How do I find out what body shape I am?
To find your body shape, measure your bust, waist, high hip, and hips using a soft tape measure. Enter those numbers into this body shape calculator. The tool will compare your proportions and tell you your most likely body shape — hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, spoon, or inverted triangle.
What measurements do I need for this body shape calculator?
You need four measurements: bust (fullest part of chest), waist (narrowest part of torso), high hip (3–4 inches below waist), and hip (fullest part of hips and seat). An optional shoulder measurement can be added for more accurate results, especially for the inverted triangle body shape.
Can men use this body shape calculator?
Yes. This body shape calculator works for both men and women. Select your gender before entering your measurements. Male body shapes commonly include rectangle, inverted triangle, oval (apple), and trapezoid. The calculator uses the same measurement-based method for both.
Can I use centimeters instead of inches?
Yes. The calculator works with both inches and centimeters. Select your preferred unit before entering measurements and use the same unit for every field. Mixing units will give an incorrect result.
What is the difference between body shape and body type?
Body shape refers to the visual outline or silhouette of your body — determined by the proportions of your bust, waist, and hips. Common body shapes include hourglass, pear, apple, and rectangle. Body type (ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph) refers to your overall physical build, metabolism, and how your body gains muscle or fat. Both can be estimated using measurements.
How accurate is this body shape calculator?
This calculator is one of the more accurate free body shape tools online because it uses four measurements (bust, waist, high hip, hips) plus an optional shoulder measurement. Most basic calculators only use three. That said, no calculator can perfectly describe every body — results are estimates based on proportion rules and should be used as a helpful guide, not a definitive label.
What is a high hip measurement and why does it matter?
Your high hip is measured about 3–4 inches below your natural waist — above the fullest part of your hips. It captures the curve of your hip shelf and helps distinguish between body shapes like spoon, pear, and hourglass that might otherwise look similar in a 3-measurement calculator.
What body shape is most common?
Rectangle and pear are among the most common body shapes. Rectangle (similar bust, waist, and hips) is especially common because the proportions required for other shapes — like the hourglass — are relatively specific. Pear shape, where hips are wider than the bust, is also very common, particularly among women.
