Hi Beauties:
I made the decision to do a series of posts that help us with the principles of style. The basics to better explain. And what better time to start than in this holiday season. And to start I bring the morphology of the body and how this helps us when dressing. And Morphology is nothing more than the study of the body and in fashion is body types. Personal style is an extension of our expression but if we don't know our language we can't express ourselves well, we will not get our message out.
By knowing your body type you will know what suits you and what doesn't. Now,I will not go into each body type, I will only limit myself to the descriptions. I will also only talk about the feminine silhouette, I will not the masculine ones, I will not mention the variants within each type of body (which exist) because I will only limit myself to the basic figures.
Rectangular or Straight:
It"s characterized by having the same measurements on the shoulders, waist and hips. Hence its name. It's a type of body that usually looks athletic and that is quite popular since the catwalk models tend to have it.
Inverted Triangle:
It's characterized by having the measurement of the shoulders wider than the measurement of the waist and hips. Most body volume is up while hips and legs tend to be delicate and thin.
Hourglass:
It's characterized by having the same or similar shoulder and hip measurements and a smallest waist. It is a proportionate and balanced body type and is considered as the most feminine figure.
Pear or Triangle:
It's characterized by having smallest shoulders and waist and widest measurement of the hips. This area is larger than the rest of the body and is another femenine figure.
Apple:
It is characterized by having similar shoulder and hip measurements but in turn the chest and waist measurements are also similar. Even so, the hips tend to be narrower than the chest.
Now, I recommend that you look for a tape measure and measure your shoulders, waist and hips and let yourself be carried away by this generic guide to know what is your body type. Remember, don't get carried away by the stereotypes people say. There could be an Plus size woman with an hourglass figure and a Petite size woman with an apple figure. It's not weight or height. Body type is just a frame.
I hope this helps you. Soon, I will come with more details for each body type. Let me know in the comments what type of body you are or if you know of another body type that is not mentioned here.

Hola Bellezas:
Tome la decisión de hacer una serie de post que nos ayudencon los principios del estilo. Lo básico para mejor explicarme. Y que mejor momento para comenzar que en esta época de fiestas. Y para comenzar les traigo la Morfología del cuerpo y como esto nos ayuda a la hora de vestirnos. Y la Morfología no es otra cosa que el estudio del cuerpo y en la moda es los tipos de cuerpo. El estilo personal es una extensión de nuestra expreción pero si no sabemos nuestro lenguaje no nos podremos expresar bien,no haremos llegar nuestro mensaje.
Al saber tu tipo de cuerpo vas a saber que te queda bien y que no. Ahora no entrare en cada de talle de los cuerpo solo me limitaré a las descripciones. También solo hablare de la silueta femenina no entrare en la masculina.No mencionare las variantes dentro de cada tipo de cuerpo (que existen) porque me limitaré a las figuras básicas.
Rectangular o Recto:
Se caracteriza por tener las mismas medidas en los hombros,cintura y caderas. De ahí su nombre. Es un tipo de cuerpo que suele lucir atlético y que es bastante popular ya que las modelo de pasarela tienden a tenerlo.
Triangulo Invertido:
Se caracteriza por tener la medida de los hombros mas ancha que la medida de la cintura y caderas. La mayoría del volumendel cuerpo esta arriba mientras las caderas y piernas tienden a ser delicadas y delgadas
Reloj de Arena:
Se caracteriza por tener las medidas de los hombros y las caderas iguales o similares y la cintura mas pequeña. Es un cuerpo proporcionada y balanceado se considera como la figura mas femenina.
Pera o Triangulo:
Se caracteriza por tener los hombros y la cintura mas pequeña y la medida de las caderas mas ancha. Esta área es mas grande que el resto del cuerpo y es otra figura femenina.
Manzana:
Se caracteriza por tener las medidas de los hombros y caderas similares pero a su ves las medidas del pecho y cintura también son similares. Aun así, las caderas tienden a ser mas estrechas que el pecho.
Ahora,te recomiendo que busques una cinta métrica y midas tus hombros,cintura y caderas y te dejes llevar por esta guía genérica para saber cual es tu tipo de cuerpo. Recuerden,no se dejen llevar por los estereotipos que dice la gente. Pude haber una mujer plus con figura de reloj de arena y una mujer petite con figura de manzana. No es el peso ni la estatura.
El tipo de cuerpo es solo un marco.
Espero que esto les sirva de ayuda. Pronto vendré con mas detalles para cada tipo de cuerpo. Déjame saber en los comentarios que tipo de cuerpo eres o si sabes de otro tipo de cuerpo que no este mencionado aquí.

espero que les guste

ResponderEliminarThis is so helpful! As soon as you recognize your body shape, dressing becomes so much easier!
ResponderEliminarI didn't know a lot about this before reading your post. I will have to ask my wife which body type she feels that she is considered.
ResponderEliminarI dont believe that women should be categorised into shapes
ResponderEliminarI know but that's like a map. I mean if you know your shape you know how to express your self with fashion. You know what look sexy,cute,empowering on you. There's actually 12 body shapes. That's why I say that I'm just talking about the basics ones.
EliminarGreat intro! Looking forward to the rest of the series!
ResponderEliminarWell, all the women and girls back home fall in the "apple" category! And I am told it has been this way for quite a number of years.
ResponderEliminarThis is such a great guide! Thank you so much for the tips.
ResponderEliminarI'm still not sure of my shape. I'm either an apple or a pear. Either way, I could stand to lose a few pounds.
