Calculating your body type involves measuring key areas of your body and analyzing the proportions between them. Here’s how you can do it:
- Gather Your Measurements: You’ll need measurements for your bust, waist, hips, and high hip. Use a flexible tape measure and ensure it’s snug but not tight against your body.
- Measure Your Bust: Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust, usually across your nipples, and record the measurement in inches.
- Measure Your Waist: Find the narrowest part of your waist, typically above your belly button and below your rib cage. Measure this circumference and record it.
- Measure Your Hips: Locate the widest part of your hips, typically around your hip bones. Wrap the tape measure around this area and record the measurement.
- Measure Your High Hip: This measurement is taken around the top of your hip bones, a few inches below your waist. Wrap the tape measure around this area and record the measurement.
- Calculate Your Waist-Hip Ratio: Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement to obtain your waist-hip ratio. This ratio provides insights into your body’s proportions and distribution of fat.
- Analyze Your Measurements: Once you have your measurements, compare them to determine your body type. Look at the differences between your bust, waist, and hip measurements to identify whether you have an hourglass, pear, apple, or other body shape.
- Consult a Body Shape Chart: Use a body shape chart or calculator to input your measurements and receive a detailed analysis of your body type. This will help you understand your proportions and choose clothing styles that flatter your figure.
