The Most Common Body Shapes

Body Shapes

 

First, you must know that body shapes categorizing isn’t a science. 

Often, you will know what shape types your body belongs to. Sometimes you will know that there’s a lot of variation within one type. You may have many features and characteristics from several shape types at the same time.

 

Each body has a different shape and size, that’s what makes each one a unique body. But in general, the most common categories include:

 

  • The apple shape or inverted triangle.
  • The pear shape or a triangle.
  • The banana shape, rectangle, or straight shape.
  • The hourglass shape or curvy.

 

It’s important to confirm that bodies have shapes and sizes and that they are beautiful! There isn’t a typical body or ideal shape, despite it being common that the hourglass shape categories are more feminine because of their curves.

 

How to determine your body shape

Nothing is more useful than a tape measure to know your body shape type. It can be helpful for choosing suitable clothing. Then start taking measurements of your shoulders, bust, waist, high hips, and hips. In the end, you can use this information to determine your body shape which has the best description of your measurements.

 

How to take your measurements?

 

Knowing your measurements is necessary not only to determine your body shape but also for clothes shopping too. Sometimes you can recognize your body type by matching the shape with the type description.

 

But if you want to be accurate on this, you can follow these tips:

  •  Use a soft, flexible measuring tape.
  • To get accurate measurements, remove your clothing and stay in your underwear or put on something light such as tiny leggings with a tank top.
  • To position the measuring tape properly, you can stand up in front of the long mirror while you take the measurement.
  • Measure around the fullest part of your body; either you take the bust or hips measurement.
  • Keep the measuring tape snug around your body, but don’t pull it so tight.
  • Make sure you can still fit 1 finger between the tape and your body.
  • Measure around the smallest part of your waist.
  • Focus on the 3 measurements and compare them to determine which is the largest and smallest. 

 

The apple shape or inverted triangle

 

You can recognize your body as an inverted triangle or an apple shape if your bust or shoulders are larger than your waist and hips.

 

When choosing clothes for this shape, highlight your lower parts and elongate your legs, the nude shoes will be perfect.

Modest Clothes in Europe Market

 

Clothes in the Middle East market are so diversified, where you can find traditional, modest and Western fashion clothes. While in  Europe it is not the same, there are only Western clothes, you can barely find modest or Arab traditional clothes.

Women in some countries in the world wear traditional clothes on a daily basis like in Gulf countries for example, while other countries in the Middle East and in Europe only old women wear traditional clothes on a daily basis and younger women wear traditional clothes only for special occasions such as a wedding or religious celebration like Eid and Ramadan.

Muslim population in Europe keep growing, and unfortunately Islamic fashion clothes offerings have been limited and there is a gap in the Europe market, there is no single Islamic brand catering to the fashion needs of the Muslim population,  most of the clothes in the market are unsuitable designs specially for Hijabi women.

Islamic clothing includes Kaftans, Abayas, clothing items that conform to Islamic dress code, Islamic clothes nowadays combine religious clothing with fashion trends, such as long dresses, long sleeves, loose fitting clothes and high necklines.

Modest clothes are not only for Muslim women whether Hijabi or non-Hijabi, a lot of women from different religions like to wear this kind of clothes.

In the past women had to customize clothes from the tailors because they couldn’t find modest clothes in the Europe market. But nowadays women in Europe are not facing the same problems they used to face before when they want to buy modest clothes or arab traditional clothes for occasions because now they can order whatever they want online from any country in the world and can come to them easily.

Khood is the best online store solution for such problems in finding modest clothes and Arab traditional clothes , you can find in our website a lot of varieties for occasions and for daily basis whether you’re a Hijabi or not.
