What's My Body Shape?

The AI visually compares the width of your shoulders/bust, waist, and hips from your photo — the same proportions a measuring-tape calculator would compute from numbers — to classify your silhouette into one of the five standard body-shape categories, then suggests general styling guidance for that shape.

Wear fitted (not baggy) clothing, stand facing the camera with arms slightly away from your sides, and use a full-body photo so your shoulder, waist, and hip lines are all clearly visible.

This reads visual proportions from a single photo, so loose clothing, pose, and camera angle can all shift the result — a fitted, front-facing photo gives the most reliable read. These are broad fashion categories, not precise or fixed measurements; most people are a blend rather than a textbook example of one shape.

Fashion magazines have been sorting women into fruit- and shape-based categories since at least the mid-20th century, but the framework went properly mainstream in the 2000s thanks to makeover TV — Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine's "What Not to Wear" in the UK, and its US spinoff with Stacy London and Clinton Kelly, built entire episodes around identifying a guest's body shape on camera and dressing them accordingly. That's really where "dress for your shape" went from a stylist's private toolkit to something millions of ordinary viewers could name about themselves.

The system is deliberately simple: it's just a comparison of shoulder, waist, and hip width, nothing more clinical than that — which is exactly what makes it easy to turn into a quiz.

Worth being clear about: this is a different system from the ectomorph/mesomorph/endomorph "somatotype" categories used in fitness — body shape is about silhouette and styling, somatotype is about frame and how your body tends to respond to training and diet. You can be, say, a mesomorph pear or an ectomorph rectangle; the two systems describe different things and aren't at odds with each other.
