Rectangle (or ruler) shape

Celebrity rectangles: Anne Hathaway, Queen Latifah, Cameron Diaz

How to tell if you’re a rectangle: “Rectangles have a very athletic frame,” Roché says. “That allows them to wear boyish clothes as well as a wide range of feminine ones. Your shoulders, waistline, bust and hips are around the same size. Your shoulder, bust and hip measurements are within five percent of each other. Your waist is less than 25 percent smaller than your shoulder or bust measurements. Waist measures from one to eight inches (2.5 cm – 20 cm) smaller than the bust.”

Rectangle body shape traits:

• Your hips, waistline and shoulders have about the same width.
• Rectangles gain weight evenly, but may gain some more through the upper back or neck.
• You have rather straight shoulders.
• Your buttocks are flat.
• You have an athletic build and a small bustline.
