3. Rectangle body shape

• Rectangle body traits: The waist, hip and shoulder widths are similar.
• Your best assets: Your arms and legs
• Your fashion goals: Create curves and show off slender legs and arms.

For rectangle or ruler body types, Bayus recommends, "A sweetheart neckline adds some curves, or a pencil skirt with a side-slit shows off your legs and adds visual interest." Tarr adds, "Building dimension on a straight body type can consist of wearing belts to define the waist and layering items like accessories or tops. 

A great alternative to a dress for a rectangle-shaped body would be the crop top and skirt sets that are currently on trend." 

Dos and don'ts

• DO wear scoop neck and sweetheart tops to create curves.
• DO wear long jackets to create a lean look.
• DO wear tops with collars, ruffles and details to flatter your chest.
• DO wear a good bra that will make the most of what you have.
• DON'T wear overwhelming styles.
• DO layer to add more dimensions.
• DO wear dresses with ruching. Cinches on sides are ideal.
• DO have fun with colorful bottoms... feel free to experiment.
