Are You a Circle Body Shape?


Some people refer to this body shape as an apple, but calling ourselves fruit is never good for the self-esteem.  Instead, if you think of yourself as a shape, you can find clothing, and accessories, that follow your circle shape, and flatter your figure.

If you have a Circle Body Shape you:
  • tend to have really narrow wrists and ankles
  • limbs (arms and legs) may be your favourite feature
  • tend to gain weight in your middle section
  • may be self conscious of your tummy area
  • have a higher waist (the narrowest part of your torso tends to be right below your breast)

Style Tips for the Circle Body Shape:
  • bring attention to wrist and ankles as they are two of your best features
  • garments with ruching in torso area will comfortable, and create flattering definition for your figure
  • an empire waist garment (without pleats) will define the narrowest part of your torso, and float over tummy area
  • show off your shapely legs
  • look for pants made of stretchy fabric so the waistband feels comfortable, but the hip is narrow enough to work for you

Clothing and Accessories that will be easiest for you to wear:
  • long tunics that skim your torso, will lengthen your upper body, and make it appear slimmer (wear with narrow pants like leggings or skinny jeans, to show off your shapely legs)
  • bracelets bring attention to teeny wrists
  • skirts and dresses are a feminine way to bring attention to legs and arms
  • patterned tights bring even more attention to sexy legs
  • shoes with ankle straps (very hard for many shapes to wear, but look great on you)

Look for an outfit that will flatter a circle figure coming at the end of the week!

If this shape doesn't sound like you, one of these other body shapes might feel more relatable: Triangle, Inverted Triangle, Hourglass, Standard, or Rectangle.
