- Measurement 2: then you’re going to measure your waist this is about one inch below your belly button and again it’ll be completely around your waist

V-Shape
if you’re a v-shape like myself you probably have a nice physique where your shoulders are nicely developed in your chest as well with a thinner waist this means that you have that ideal physique where you want to stick to wearing clothes that’s fitted and simple in other words you don’t want baggy stuffed or heavily branded stuff that’s going to clutter you visually and distract people from your physique stick the tailored stuff that’s simple
O-Shape
now if you’re in O shape this means that your midsection is over developed and bigger than your shoulders and your hips to balance this out one of the best tips you can do is wear darker colors that give you a slimming effect also for the fit of your clothes it should always be fitted and never slim or tight because you are overweight when your clothes is too tight there will be pulling and stretching that will over magnify your problem areas so stick to clothing that’s more straight cut and fitted
X-Shape
if you’re in X shape it means that your shoulders and your hips are around the same size and your waist is thin now for these guys that have big hips it’s tough to find because it’ll be difficult to find pants that actually fit right without them looking skin tight on you this is why for these guys the best style to pull off is oversized clothing it’s a most comfortable approach it’s also extremely popular and it’ll sit nicer on your wider hip
Rectangle Shape
finally if you’re then iframe you’re essentially a skinny rectangle which is the ideal model frame this is particularly good because every manufacturer especially high-end designers designed for this frame in mind so almost everything you throw on will look good
