Body Type Calculator
About Our Smart Body Type Calculator
Our smart calculator provides instant results and leverages AI to offer personalized insights.
Know Your True Shape
Most calculators only use 3 measurements. Ours adds the "High Hip" to distinguish between subtle shapes like "Spoon" vs "Pear," giving you professional-grade styling accuracy.
Why Use This Tool?
- Fashion Science: Based on the 7-shape classification system used by clothing designers.
- Health Check: Calculates your Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) to screen for cardiovascular risks.
- Precision: Supports both Metric (cm) and Imperial (in) units for global users.
What Determines Your Body Shape?
Your body shape is determined by the proportions of your skeletal structure and fat distribution, not just your weight.
While weight can change, your underlying silhouette (the relationship between your shoulders, bust, waist, and hips) tends to remain constant. Understanding whether you are an Hourglass, Rectangle, or Triangle is the secret to dressing well.
The 7 Female Body Shapes Explained
Our calculator goes beyond the basic "Fruit Names" (Apple/Pear). We use the more precise geometric classification:
The "Hourglass" Family
- Hourglass: Balanced bust and hips with a defined waist.
- Top Hourglass: Bust is slightly larger than hips.
- Bottom Hourglass: Hips are slightly larger than bust.
The "Triangle" & "Oval" Family
- Triangle (Pear): Hips are significantly wider than the bust.
- Inverted Triangle (Apple): Shoulders/Bust are wider than hips.
- Spoon: Similar to Pear, but with a distinct "shelf" at the high hip.
- Rectangle (Banana): Bust, waist, and hips are roughly the same size.
What is Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR)?
Beyond fashion, your measurements reveal important health data. WHR measures fat distribution.
| Body Type | Fat Storage | Health Risk Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Shape | Abdominal (Visceral Fat) | Higher Risk Linked to diabetes & heart disease. |
| Pear Shape | Hips & Thighs (Subcutaneous) | Lower Risk Generally considered safer fat storage. |
How to Measure Correctly
Accuracy is key. Use a flexible tape measure and keep it parallel to the floor.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest.
- Waist: Measure at the narrowest part of your torso (usually above the belly button).
- High Hip: Measure around the upper swell of the hip (about 7 inches below the waist). *Unique to this calculator.
- Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your buttocks.
