There are five main body types to look at when determining what shape you are. This guide will help you (closely) figure out which body type you are.

With each body type, we will go over:
- Styling tips and tricks to show off all your best assets.

- How to shop your own closet.
- Do’s and Don’ts to pay attention to.

- The fullest part of your BUST
- The smallest part of your WAIST
- The widest part of your HIPS
