How do I know my body shape?

Compare the width of your shoulders, waist, and hips to determine your body shape. If your shoulders and hips are roughly equal with a defined waist, you're an hourglass; hips wider than shoulders makes you a pear; shoulders wider than hips is an inverted triangle; all three similar widths with little waist definition is a rectangle; and a fuller midsection with slimmer hips and legs is an apple. Stand in front of a mirror in fitted clothing or underwear and observe these proportions to identify which description matches your body.
