Body Shape Calculator for Men & Women
Free body figure calculator: enter chest or bust, waist, and hip measurements to find your body shape (Hourglass, Pear, Apple, Rectangle, or Inverted Triangle) with fashion tips for your proportions.
What Is a Body Shape Calculator?
A body shape calculator (or body figure calculator) maps your chest/bust, waist, and hip proportions to a silhouette: Hourglass, Pear, Apple, Rectangle, or Inverted Triangle. It works for men and women — men typically enter chest instead of bust. Unlike body type (metabolism and muscle gain), body shape is about proportion, and it's the most useful signal when choosing flattering cuts, necklines, and silhouettes.
Hourglass
Bust and hips are close in width with a noticeably narrower waist, creating a naturally balanced, curved silhouette.
Pear
Hips are noticeably wider than the bust, with a defined waist; weight tends to sit lower on the body.
Apple
The midsection (waist) is the widest part of the torso, with a less defined waistline relative to bust and hips.
Rectangle
Bust, waist, and hips are all roughly the same width, giving a straight, athletic silhouette with minimal curve definition.
Inverted Triangle
Shoulders and bust are noticeably broader than the hips, often with an athletic upper body and narrower lower half.
Why Dressing for Your Shape Matters
- Balance proportions: add visual volume where your frame is narrower and streamline where it is wider
- Shop with confidence: know which necklines, waistlines, and cuts to look for before you buy
- Skip the trial and error: stop guessing why certain styles never seem to fit right
- Style for any shape: every body shape can look great with the right approach
