How do I define my body type?

Anonymous

I'm short, broad shoulders and have an undefined waist. I have a large chest as well.

I am a 34 C, my waist is about 29 inches, and my hips are around 36 inches. So more or less, I don't have much definition between each of my measurements, other than being chesty, and I have a bigger not flat butt. I wear size 4 jeans, and small to medium tops.

If I go just by the undefined waist part, it says I am rectangle shape, however, I have broad shoulders, and those with rectangle shapes aren't supposed to.

I'm short, and due to my broader measurements, I'm stockier, so wearing anything delicate looks ridiculous on me.

I just have no idea where to even begin with dressing myself.

  no, because the last time I posted a picture it got taken down. Its more of a fashion idea about how to dress a particular shape.

If your chest is smaller than your hips, you are a pear.

  My shoulders are broad though, which pear shaped are supposed to have narrow shoulders.

  Not necessarily. If your chest measurements are smaller than the chest you are a pear. Rectangle shape is when your chest,waist and hips are around the same measurements. Say you were a 34-34-34 then you'd be a rectangle. Kelly ripa is a rectangle

  I entered my measurements into a calculator and it says I'm a pear, but then goes on to say "as a pear you have proportionately slim shoulders and a well defined waist" and I have neither. I have to wear high waisted things and dresses that cinch in at my waist to give the appearance that I even have one.

  You don't have to have a well defined anything to be a pear shape. The only shape which comes with smaller waist and proportional hips/bust is hourglass. Other than that, you're a pear, and there's a variety of pear shapes.

  However, I've looked up celebrities who have the "pear shape" and all of them had smaller busts. I do not have a smaller bust. Yes, the measurement around my ribcage is 34, but I am a 34 C. So broad shoulders and big boobs.

  Your chest measurements are smaller than your hips, so that's a pear. Pears do not have to be dramatic and they don't necessarily mean small frame up top. We've all tried to help but you keep arguing, so don't know what to tell you or what you're expecting to hear

  I don't mean to argue, and I'm not expecting to hear anything, especially nothing nice. All I know is I really don't fit into any category. Definitely not hourglass. I don't have a defined waist. I have huge shoulders, an undefined waist, big boobs. I just hate my f***ing body. its gross.

  Well it's your body shape. All I can recommend is that you workout, keep toned, improve what you feel you need to improve and dress for your body. Dressing for your body doesn't mean following any specific rules. But if a pair of jeans make you feel confident about the way your butt looks wear them, if a shirt makes you feel pretty and compact wear it. I think broad shoulders are badass, they are classic. I really wish mine were broad, something about them attractive

  I don't mind my shoulders so much, like you said, my shoulders are neat, but, its everything else. Iwork out often, I'm active, and I eat pretty healthy. Like, I would have to probably cut out a whole meal or food group and work out for about an hour and a half 5X a week to lose 10 pounds. Its incredibly hard for me to lose weight. I cut my calories back to 1200-1300 and worked out nearly eveyr day and still only lost 2 pounds.

  Have you tried HIIT(High Intensity Interval Training)? It worked really well for me. It is extremely hard for me to gain or lose weight. I literally have to constantly eat or workout to gain or lose weight. It IS very very challenging, but it really helped get me in shape, lose weight and tone up. Maybe you simply need to tone up as opposed to lose weight?
