Rectangle bodyshape is another very common figure shape. These women have little or no waistline definition. Long-legged and balanced horizontal body types most commonly have this shape. Some hourglass figures may become a rectangle with weight gain and/or maturity.

- Wrap around tops and dresses.
- Fitted, tailored shirts.
- Feminine and fitted tops over a shapely bra.
- Gently tailored jackets.
- Low-waisted trousers with boot-cut or flare style.
- Skirts that are A-line or full shape.
- Bias-cut skirts that create curves.

In summary, the key to dressing a rectangle bodyshape is to proportionally dress the top and bottom of your body while enhancing your waist. If you are comfortable doing so, you can wear form fitting clothing (such as a tube-type dress) and create a waist by adding a wide, dark belt. These dressing guidelines are best used as a starting point! Check out my blog on other bodyshapes for women!
