Men’s Body Shapes
Men’s Body Shapes
Type 1: The Inverted Triangle
As the name suggests, men who fall into this category do indeed resemble an upside-down triangle. That is to say they have:
Broad shoulders and a broad chest
A very narrow waist and narrow hips
Well developed arm muscles, maybe even bulky
A significantly heavier top half
The appearance of disappearing almost to a point at the waist.
Type 2: The Trapezoid
Very similar to the inverted triangle body shape this shape typically will have:
Broad shoulders and a broad chest like the I.T
A top half larger than the bottom
A bigger waist, that is to say medium as opposed to narrow
A well proportioned appearance
Trapezoids, whilst sharing many similarities with the I.T are easier to dress and look more in proportion.
Type 3: The Rectangle
A rectangle is basically a straight up and down shape, they will typically have:
Shoulders, waist and chest that are all the same width
Type 4: The Triangle
Imagine if an Inverted Triangle stood on their head, that’s basically the body shape of a Triangle, just incase the name didn’t clear it up enough. They will typically:
Be bottom heavy
Have a chest narrower than their hips
Have a sloping shoulder line
For a Triangle is all about detracting from a bottom heavy frame.
Type 5: The Oval
The Oval, just as the name (in my opinion a very harsh one, no wonder women prefer the term “apple”) suggests, will have:
An overall round appearance
A large stomach
For the Oval it’s all about toning down the stomach, whether that be by illusion or directing attention elsewhere.
