A simple guide
How to get a useful result
1. Measure consistently
Stand straight with your arms at your sides. Keep the tape snug and level, but do not pull so tightly that it compresses your body.
2. Use the same unit
Choose centimetres or inches and enter all four measurements. Approximate measurements can change the estimated category.
3. Treat it as a guide
Body shape is a simplified styling concept. Use the tips as ideas, not strict rules about what you should wear.
Helpful answers
Body shape calculator FAQs
How does the body shape calculator work?
For the women's guide, enter bust, waist, high hip and hip circumferences. For the men's guide, enter shoulder, chest, waist and hip circumferences. For women, it applies seven proportion-based categories (hourglass, bottom hourglass, top hourglass, spoon, triangle, inverted triangle and rectangle) using bust, waist, high-hip and hip measurements. It also displays waist-to-hip ratio (waist divided by hip). These are styling estimates, not medical assessments.
Which measurements do I need?
The women's guide uses bust, waist, high hip and hip circumference. The men's guide uses shoulder, chest, waist and hip circumference. Use the same unit for all four measurements.
Can men and women use this calculator?
Yes. Select the women's or men's guide. The calculator uses different style-oriented labels and tips for each guide. These categories are simplified and may not describe every body.
Are my measurements stored or shared?
No. The calculation runs in your browser. This page does not send measurements to a server, save them in a database or require an account.
Can I use inches instead of centimetres?
Yes. Choose inches or centimetres using the unit switch. The entered values are converted for calculation when you change units.
Is the result a health or fitness assessment?
No. It is a basic styling estimate based on proportions. It does not assess health, body fat, fitness, or medical risk.
What if my result does not feel accurate?
Some people fall between categories, and measurement technique can affect the result. Recheck your measurements, then use the suggestions that suit your comfort, preferences and personal style.
