Find out your body type based on your measurements online. Online calculator: the ideal figure of a woman in numbers

Each woman is a unique person, distinguished not only by her character and mentality, but also by her appearance. However, most of them still strive to get closer to certain standards and exhaust themselves with strict training and training in the gym. But few people know that you can achieve the desired results if you manage to do it correctly

Most people like to measure, classify and fit everything to certain standards. The female figure did not go unnoticed, the parameters of which were divided by experts into several types. Now, having learned to do it correctly and evaluate the results, each representative of the fair sex can hide her own shortcomings or advantageously emphasize her advantages.

Data such as skeletal structure, proportions and the nature of body lines are laid down at the genetic level, and no matter how much a woman adheres to all kinds of diets, she most likely will not be able to achieve the notorious parameters of 90-60-90. So why then should you learn to determine your body type?

First of all, such knowledge will help with the following:

• choose a beautiful and stylish one that hides flaws and emphasizes the strengths of your physique;
• select an individual schedule to combat problem areas of the body;
• choose a nutrition system to make adjustments and maintain optimal shape.

Often, girls begin to worry about their reflection in the mirror almost in adolescence, but it is worth remembering that at 12-14 years old, body parameters are not only disproportionate, but also very far from the cherished standards. Pregnancy and childbirth also leave their mark on the figure. Therefore, it is important to take into account such factors and not rush to be picky about your shape and try to correct it with the help of exhausting workouts and diets.

How to determine your body type?

Doctors and fitness trainers prefer to determine body type by wrist, thus dividing the physique into:

• asthenic (wrist circumference less than 15 cm);
• hypersthenic (more than 18 cm);
• normosthenic (from 15 to 17 cm).

They also classify body shapes according to the metabolic processes occurring in the body. But the most popular methods are to compare physiques with fruits and geometric elements. According to this, the figure is conventionally divided into 5 types based on body proportions. In order to determine them, all you need is a measuring tape and simple calculations that take into account the ratio of your hips, shoulders, chest and waist.

Measurements should be taken as follows:

• Breast volume can be measured over a regular bra (without push-up), at the most protruding point, around the back. It is important to keep the tape measure parallel to the floor.
• Waist measurements are taken at the narrower part of the body, slightly above the navel. The abdomen should not protrude or retract.
• Hips are measured at the widest part (from the bone around the buttocks). The tape is also kept parallel to the floor.
• Shoulder width is a plane measurement. It is enough to measure the distance from one shoulder to the other.

When taking measurements, you should not press the centimeter too tightly to your body, otherwise the obtained values ​​will be incorrect.

When all the data has been received, you can begin to calculate. Trying to simplify the task, some girls prefer to use special online calculators that can be found on websites, but it is not so difficult to determine the type of figure by comparing it with the description, and then checking everything using the Bayou equations.

Apple body type

A characteristic feature of this body type is the absence of a pronounced waist, with almost the same volume of the chest and hips. Owners most often suffer from excess weight (especially fat accumulates in the back and abdomen). They also have fairly high chests and long, slender legs.

Often the classification of this body type is called O-shaped, diamond, circle or oval.

It is worth noting that if a woman with the shapes described above gets rid of the fat located in the abdominal area, then her figure will become close to an “hourglass”.

Pear body type

The type is considered the most attractive and feminine, since this figure is characterized by narrow shoulders, small breasts and wide hips (hips 5% wider than the bust or shoulders).

To determine, you need to multiply the largest indicator (usually the width of the shoulders) by 0.95. The obtained result is compared with other parameters.

At the same time, the woman’s stomach is flat, her waist is well defined and no unnecessary folds appear on it. Often, owners of such shapes have a slightly longer upper part. To confirm your conclusions, you need to divide the volume of the hips or shoulders by the volume of the chest. If the resulting figure is greater than 1.05, then the woman has a Pear body type.

Formula: OB/SH = or > 1.05 (where OB is the volume of the hips, and SH is the width of the shoulders).

These shapes are also called A-shapes, trapezoid, triangle or spoon.

"Hourglass"

This body type is often called the most harmonious, since its owners have almost equal hip and shoulder volume. At the same time, the waist remains clearly defined regardless of weight gain, and the top and bottom of the body are proportional to each other.

Other names of shapes are “Eight”, “Guitar”, “X” figure.”

In women, the waist volume is 25% less than the volume of the chest, hips and shoulders. So, if the waist parameters are divided by the bust or shoulder parameters, the resulting number will be less than 0.75.

Formula: OT/OB = or< 0,75.

"Inverted Triangle"

Often this type is also called T-shaped, V-shaped, “Strawberry” or “Carrot”. Women with this figure have narrow hips, medium-sized breasts, a thin waist and rather massive shoulders. In addition, the upper part of their body is much shorter than the lower part, and their legs are always slender and long.

It is worth noting that this type of figure is often found among athletes who are fond of swimming or tennis.

This is due to the fact that excess fat accumulates only in the neck, chest, arms and shoulders.

With an Inverted Triangle body shape, the bust or shoulders are 5% larger than the hips. So, if the parameters of the upper part are divided by the parameters of the lower part, the result will be a number greater than 1.05.

Formula: OG/OB = or > 1.05.

"Rectangle"

This type of figure can be roughly compared with, since it is distinguished by the absence of a clearly defined waist. In women with such shapes, the breast volume is almost equal to the hip volume, despite the fact that the physique looks athletic. The chest is quite wide, the hips do not stand out in any way, and protruding pelvic bones are visible on them. Also, in women with such a figure, the stomach may protrude forward.

This structure is known as “Banana” or “Ruler”, as well as H-shaped.

The main problem of owners of this body shape- this is a tendency to and strong muscle relief, making them look like men or teenagers.

With a rectangular body type, the waist is 25% less than the width of the shoulders or the volume of the chest. At the same time, the difference between the parameters of the bust, hips and shoulders should be within 5%.

The following main types of figures are distinguished:

Hourglass/Plump Hourglass;

Rectangle/Plump Rectangle;

Triangle/Fat Triangle;

Inverted Triangle/Plump Inverted Triangle;

There are two ways to find out your body type yourself:

Visually

Carefully examine your figure in the mirror. It is advisable that at this moment you are wearing a swimsuit or underwear. So, look at your figure, especially your shoulders, bust, waist, hips, and determine which body type your body type is most suitable for:

Triangle (Pear) - small to medium torso (torso is the central part of the body that does not include the head, neck and legs), narrow or sloping shoulders, small to medium bust, slender torso and narrow ribcage, thin waist, full lower hips, full buttocks , legs from well-fed to full. If you have narrow or sloping shoulders, a small bust and a full waist, a wide pelvis and very full hips, legs, calves, then most likely you are - Plump Triangle .

Hourglass - small or medium-sized torso, lush or medium-sized bust, clearly defined thin or medium-sized waist, hips with pronounced curves, rounded buttocks, slender legs, shoulders and hips - the same width.

If you have a full round neck, medium-sized or broad shoulders, a wide, often rounded back, a full round bust, a defined but full waist, hips whose width is proportional to the shoulders, full beautiful legs, then most likely you are - Plump Hourglass .

Rectangle or Inverted Triangle - shoulders of medium size or wide, wider than the hips (typical of the Inverted Triangle), small to full bust, not clearly defined waist (sometimes full, with a short distance between the bust line and the hips), narrow hips, slender legs.

If you have a full neck, broad shoulders, a medium to full bust, a wide and full torso, almost no defined full waist, flat buttocks, slender legs, then most likely you are - Plump Rectangle or Plump Inverted Triangle .

Circle - shoulders and hips are approximately the same, the chest and waist are also approximately the same or the waist is wider, the stomach clearly protrudes, the whole figure is very full, round, sloping shoulders, full arms. The legs are often slender, although full, but beautifully shaped.

If you still have doubts after examining the figure visually, you can use the second method of determining the type of figure and...

Take measurements

Three measurements need to be taken:

waist circumference;

hip girth. It is necessary to remove the full girth at the widest point of the hips.

Then analyze the received data:

The shoulders are equal to the hips, the waist clearly stands out - HOURGLASS;

All three measurements are approximately the same - RECTANGLE;

Hips wider than shoulders - TRIANGLE (“Pear”, type “A”);

Shoulders wider than hips - INVERTED TRIANGLE (or “T”).

Shoulders equal to hips, very full central part (bulging belly), medium to short height, rounded shoulders - CIRCLE.

Once you know your body type, it will be easier for you to decide on suitable styles of dresses, skirts, blouses, trousers, and outerwear.

Hourglass - emphasize the curves of your figure, avoid baggy clothes that will hide your figure.

Rectangle - Wear clothes that define your waist. If the waist and sides are full, then the best option would be to combine a spacious (in size!) top and a narrow bottom.

Inverted Triangle - Avoid any attention to the shoulders and upper body.

Triangle - emphasize, visually expand the line of the shoulders, avoid excessive attention (due to details, texture, color) to the hips, especially if you consider yourself to be of the same body type Plump triangle .

Circle - distract attention from the fullest part of the body - the stomach, shifting the emphasis to the bust line and legs. Remember that your legs are your trump card!

Of course, sometimes there are mixed types of figures, for example, rectangle + triangle (straight figure with an implicitly defined waist and so-called “ears” on the hips). Or tall women with a defined thin waist, but flat buttocks and straight shoulders. Therefore, if you could not classify yourself into any of the groups listed above, write to me on the BabaDeda forum in the section, and I will definitely help you.

One of the main problems when choosing a wardrobe for every woman is choosing those things that will fit her figure perfectly.

How do you understand which things suit you and which don’t?

We offer you a new method - body type calculator

How to use it?

Instead of comparing your figure with photographs of celebrities or various fruits (Pear, Apple...) and at the same time acting "by eye", we suggest you use unusual technique from fashion expert Oprah Winfrey.

The system is based on mathematical calculations - it is a little more complex than determining your body type by eye, but we will help you understand it so that you can choose a wardrobe for any figure.

How does the body type calculator work?

To complete all measurements, of course, you will need a centimeter - let's get started!

1. Measure your figure

Shoulders: Measure the distance from the tip of one shoulder to the other

Breast: Wrap the tape over the prominent points of the chest and around the back. At the same time, do not overpress the tape, do not press it too tightly.

Waist: Measure the narrowest part above the navel.

Buttocks: Start measuring from one hip (underwire) and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your butt.

2. Finding your body type

Now that all the data has been received, you need it to calculate the shape type. By doing the calculations and using shoulder measurements versus chest measurements in the equation, you can end up with two different body types.

This means that your figure actually belongs to several types, for example, breast measurements can tell you that you have a pear or hourglass figure.
Now look through all the body type descriptions below and determine which ones best suit you.

Inverted Triangle

Note! You are an inverted triangle if your shoulder or bust measurement is 5% larger than your hip measurement

How to calculate it: shoulder or bust volume/hip volume ≥ 1.05 For example: Your shoulders are 91 cm and your hips are 86 cm 95/86 = 1.1, which is more than 1.05 So your figure is an inverted triangle What suits you perfectly: jackets with a clearly defined waist and widening towards the bottom Why: Pinned at the waist and further widened, the silhouette creates a beautiful curve at the bottom, making the shoulders look more balanced.

Rectangle

Note! You are a rectangle if your waist is less than 25% smaller than your shoulder or chest

You are a rectangle if your waist / shoulder or chest circumference is ≥0.75

For example, your waist is 70 cm and your shoulders are 90 cm

70/90= 0.77 which is greater than the value 0.75 - your shape is a rectangle

What suits you perfectly: Skirts with voluminous details such as lace, bows, pockets and any other decorations.

Why: This highlights your less defined hips and creates balance with your upper half.

Triangle or pear

Note! You are a triangle (also known as a pear shape) if your hips are more than 5% wider than your shoulders or chest

You are a pear if your hips/shoulders or chest ≥ 1.05

For example, your shoulders are 98 cm and your hips are 110 cm

110/98= 1.1 which is more than 1.05, you have a Pear figure

What suits you perfectly: A dress that is tapered at the top and flared at the bottom.

Why: This will emphasize the petite shape in the upper part of the figure and from the bottom, starting from the waist, will create a feminine curve.

Hourglass

Note! You are an hourglass if your waist is at least 25% smaller than your shoulders or bust (waist ÷ shoulders and bust ≤ 0.75) and your waist is at least 25% smaller than your hips (waist ÷ hips ≤ 0.75)

Your waist is 60 cm, chest 95 cm, hips 92 cm

60/95 = 0.65 which is ≤ 0.75

60/92 = 0.63 which is ≤ 0.75

Based on both parameters, we see that the Hourglass figure

What suits you perfectly: Wrap tops.

Why: This will emphasize the waist and make the figure more expressive.

Until people figured out how to use simple math to determine body type, it was difficult to know what clothes would fit a person's specific measurements. And thanks to Hillary Kerr, we know that not every fashion trend suits every body type—and that's okay. Don't panic and buy all the latest fashions, you need to choose things that will fit you well. Instead of comparing your body to celebrity photos that don't give you confidence, try fashion expert Bradley Bayou's simple calculation technique. His system uses mathematics to determine body type.

For the sake of simplicity, this article will cover just the four main body types, but if you want more detailed information, we recommend reading Bayou's The Science of Sexuality, where he gives tips on how to choose the right clothes for 48 different body types. Remember that your size does not matter, your figure will still belong to a certain type, because the main thing is not the weight itself, but how it is distributed.

So, take a measuring tape and follow the instructions to understand what type of female figure yours is.

Measure your parameters

Shoulder width

Ask someone to help you measure your shoulders, as it is impossible to take this measurement yourself. The width is measured horizontally by connecting the protruding extreme points on both arms. The tape should fit snugly to the body, but not be tight.

Waist circumference

Measure your waist circumference at its narrowest point just above your navel. The measuring tape should fit snugly around your waist.

Breasts

Stretch the measuring tape taut along the most protruding points of the chest and around the back. Do not pull the tape too tightly to avoid squeezing your chest.

Hips

Start from one hip (below the hip bone), grab the bulge of the abdomen, and then wrap the tape around the buttocks at the most prominent points.

Now that you have taken the necessary measurements, you can use these numbers to determine your body type. You will notice that in the equations below, chest girth and shoulder width will sometimes need to be interchanged. This has to be done by those who have a particularly large or small bust, as well as those who have disproportionately narrow or wide shoulders.

A situation may arise when a figure belongs to two different categories. This occurs when there is a significant difference between shoulder width and chest circumference. For example, if you use the “bust circumference” parameter, you may end up with a “pear” figure, but if you take into account the width of your shoulders, then your figure will be of the “hourglass” type. If this situation occurs, you will have to consider both options when making purchases. When you try on, you will understand which clothes will look best on you.

Now let's look at the four main body types. Based on the description, try to determine which category your body belongs to, and then test your guesses using Bayou's equations.

Inverted Triangle

The “inverted triangle” figure is characterized by wide shoulders compared to the hips or ample breasts and narrow hips.

If you think that your figure is an inverted triangle, then it is worth confirming this with the help of numbers. Shoulder width or chest circumference should be at least 5% greater than hip circumference.

Formula: shoulder width or chest circumference/hip circumference ≥ 1.05

For example, you are an “inverted triangle” if your shoulders are 91.5 cm and your hips are no more than 87 cm.

What clothes should you wear? Choose clothes that accentuate your waist and flare out at the bottom - this will balance out your wide top and narrow lower body.

Rectangle

Your shoulders, bust and hips are about the same volume. There is no clearly defined waist.

What will the numbers say? Your figure is considered a rectangle if your waist is less than 25% smaller than your shoulder width or bust size.

Formula: waist circumference/(shoulder width or chest circumference) ≥ 0.75.

In this case, the difference between the parameters of the shoulders, chest and hips should be within 5% of each other. Take the largest number (usually the width of the shoulders), let this number be conventionally called x, the other two numbers - y and z. Multiply x by 0.95. If y and z are greater than the resulting figure, then your parameters are within 5% of each other.

For example, you are a “rectangle” if your shoulder width is 91.5 cm and your waist circumference is 68 cm or more.

What clothes should you wear? Skirts with details that add volume to the lower body: frills, bows, pockets are suitable for a rectangle body type. This item will visually balance the lower body.

Pear

This type is characterized by wide hips in comparison with the shoulders and a well-defined waist.

You "triangle, pear" body type if your hips are more than 5% larger than your shoulder width or chest circumference.

Formula: hip circumference/(shoulder width or chest circumference) ≥ 1.05

For example, you are a “triangle” if your shoulders are 91.5 cm and your hips are at least 96 cm.

What clothes should you wear? A fitted dress with a circle skirt is perfect for a triangle figure. This will hide wide hips and emphasize a thin waist.

Hourglass

The circumference of the chest and hips is approximately the same, the waist is thin.

You have an hourglass figure if:

1. Waist circumference is 25% smaller than shoulder width or chest circumference. Formula: waist circumference/(shoulder width or chest circumference) ≤ 0.75
2. Waist is 25% smaller than your hips. Formula: waist circumference/hip circumference ≤ 0.75
3. The shoulder width and hip circumference parameters are within 5% of each other. Take the largest number of the two parameters, let this number be conventionally called x, and the small number - y. If y > x*0.95 then your parameters are within 5% of each other.

For example, your figure is “hourglass” if your shoulder width and hips are 91.5 cm, and your waist is no more than 68.6 cm.

What clothes should you wear? Choose clothes that highlight the curves of your body while maintaining harmony between your top and bottom.

It doesn’t matter what type of figure you have, because ideal bodies do not exist. The main thing is to determine what type of figure you are. This will help you highlight your strengths and hide your weaknesses.

Today, many special tests have appeared on the global network that allow you to calculate your body type. This can be done. But the most reliable way is to stand in your underwear in front of a full-length mirror, carefully examine yourself, and then measure with a centimeter tape:
- shoulder width;
- chest volume;
- waist width;
- Waist;
- hip width;
- hip volume.

The volume of the chest, waist and hips should be measured by wrapping the tape around the body. After this, you need to judge your body type based on the measurements taken. So, the question of how to determine your body type is half resolved.

How to find out your body type?

The standard classification includes the following types of female figures:
- apple, or rectangle;
- pear;
- triangle;
- hourglass.

The most common body type is the “apple”, in 2nd place is the pear, in 3rd place is the triangle, and only in 4th place is the same “hourglass”.

Apple. This type of figure has the same width of hips and shoulders, but the waist never stands out clearly, even if the woman is thin. As a rule, these girls' legs are slender, their buttocks are not very rounded, and their hips are straight. Those with an “apple” figure gain weight in the chest, back, and stomach, while they gain weight mainly in the front. Sometimes plump “apples” look like this: the legs are thin, the width of the shoulders is approximately equal to the hips, the buttocks are normal, and the stomach is protruding.

Pear. Owners of this type of figure have hips wider than shoulders, hips larger than chest, waist clearly defined, hips rounded and smooth. Typically, fat in this figure accumulates on the hips and buttocks, while the stomach is quite flat, and the face does not improve much.

Triangle. In this body type, the width of the hips is less than the width of the shoulders, the line of the hips and waist narrows, the legs below the knees are thin, and the pelvis is quite narrow. Such women usually gain weight in the arms, face, stomach, chest, inner thighs, etc.

Hourglass. In this type of figure, the width of the hips is equal to the width of the shoulders, and the volume of the hips and chest is approximately the same, the waist is clearly defined, and the hips are always round. Such women gain weight evenly, they never have any problems with the disappearance of their waist. They also have a luxurious bust and appetizing buttocks.

Many people are interested in how they can change their body type. However, this is usually a hereditary characteristic, and technology is powerless against it. However, if you try to stay in good physical shape, you will look attractive regardless of this parameter. And the right clothes will help you with this.
