Knowing our body type, makes it easier for us to know what will look good on us. Rectangle body types are one kind of figure that looks chic in a variety of clothing.You can call it as a boyish or athletic body type, with more straight lines and few curves. Adding femininity to a rectangle figure and creating curves seems challenging, but it's simple to do with the right clothing styles. Hillary Duff, Nicole Kidman, Sheryl Crow, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow are celebrities with this body shape
.
Women that have more athletic shapes should wear clothing that highlights their bodies, but yet creates a curvier figure. So one should avoid wide-leg pants that makes your silhouette look too boyish. Snug-fitting skinny jeans, slightly flared boot-cut trousers, Full length leggings, jeggings, Pencil pants and anything fitting can make you look more shapely. Ruffled pants add curves to your body and makes one look good Avoid anything that cuts off the legs, such as capris or midrise pants.
Wrap tops help create the illusion of curves. Detailing or embellishments, such as collars and ruffles, and scoop neck or V-neck or even a sweetheart neckline shirts all work well, to add femininity or may be even create some of them. if you like jackets or blazers, opt for a fitted style that has a cinched-in waist. A buttoned jacket is even better. But a boyish athletic jacket would add on to look even more rectangular.
Layering is also a great solution, like wearing a t-shirt inside your t-shirt or just wearing a sleeveless tshirt on top of another tshirt, this would certainly and definition to your body.
Skirts can be any length, but if you have great thighs show them off in a short style for a womanly look. The traditional A-line skirt works well for rectangular body types and keeps the look soft but definitely avoid straighter looking skirts which only define your length instead of creating a more feminine figure. Full silhouette Skirt is also a great idea, with layers, frills, ruffles, pleats.. the peplum's would also look awesome on a rectangular body to make it look curvier.
The wrap dress is an athletic woman's secret weapon. Tie it up the dress in to highlight the waist and make your shape pop. Choose dresses with drapes, like long length gowns, saree gowns, or even a saree for that matter to add fullness to your figure. Adding a belt to highlight your small waistline is another option. Avoid dresses that have a square neck or an undefined waist., cz it will juzt make you look more boxy.
