How it works

Body shape is classified by comparing three measurements: bust (or chest), waist, and hips. The relationships between them place you into one of the common shapes. It is a descriptive tool for styling and tracking proportions, not a health measure.

The shapes

HourglassBust ≈ hips, well-defined waist
Pear / TriangleHips wider than bust
Inverted triangleBust wider than hips
RectangleBust, waist, hips similar
Apple / RoundWaist the widest measurement

Frequently asked questions

Does body type affect my health?

Shape itself is cosmetic, but where you carry fat can matter. A larger waist relative to hips is linked with higher metabolic risk, which is why waist-to-hip ratio is also shown.

Can my body type change?

Your underlying frame is largely fixed, but fat loss or muscle gain can shift your measurements and move you between shapes over time.
