H-shape Body Type: The best tips to flatter your figure
With winter approaching, the coat will be the star piece of your outfits. Do you have an H-shape body type? To help you choose your winter coat, here are our tips and selections adapted to your H-shape body type.
The H-shape body type or rectangle body type
The H-shape body type, also known as the rectangle silhouette, is characterized by shoulders and hips that are aligned with an undefined waist. This slender and athletic silhouette has shoulders and hips of similar width, with a chest that is often small. This silhouette is therefore characterized by the terms slender, thin or lanky.
The H-shape body type is often considered ideal for many clothing styles, as it allows you to highlight the body's lines and shapes.
To flatter your H-shape figure, it is essential to understand your body characteristics and choose the clothes that suit you best.
Understanding your body type
To find out if you have an H-shape body type, observe your shoulders and hips aligned with no distinct space between your arms and waist.
The H-shape body type is distinguished by shoulders and hips of similar width, with a waist that is little or not at all defined. Still not sure if you are an H? If you have a tape measure, don't hesitate to measure yourself! Otherwise, other indicators may suggest that you have an H-shape silhouette:
-
You wear the same size clothing on top and bottom.
-
Your waist is not defined: your waist measurement is identical to your hip measurement.
Basic principles for dressing
Basic principles for dressing an H-shape body type include creating an illusion of a defined waist and adding volume to the shoulders and hips. It is important to choose clothes that are proportionate to your body and that highlight your assets.
Colors, textures, and patterns can also play an important role in creating an elegant and harmonious outfit. In short, don't hesitate to choose a colorful model, especially for the central piece in winter: the coat.
The H-shape body type: our advice and selection of coats
The H-shape body type is straight, characterized by shoulders, waist, and hips on the same axis. For a stylish winter outfit, while flattering the H-shape silhouette, we recommend a straight and short cut found in the Boisset pea coat. However, for a slight impression of a defined waist, prefer belted models, such as the Chamas model! And if the sun is out, opt for a look with the model open.
