The figure 8 body shape is characterized by a high hip.
- Shoulders tend to be curved
- The shoulders and hips are similar in width
- Bust size ranges from small to large
- Well-defined waist
- The widest part of the hip is higher, closer or at the belly button, whereas the widest part of the hip on the X or A is by the thighs
- Tend to be short waisted due to high hips
- Small waist suddenly juts out to high hip, giving it a shelf-like appearance
As the figure 8 body shape is generally balanced, it is important to maintain the balance in the upper and lower parts of the body while highlighting the waist without making her look wide.
- Wear straight or tapered skirts and pants to keep the figure narrow
- Opt for soft drapey fabrics that follow the body's natural curve
- Look for tops and dresses with waist defining details
- Open necklines such as scoop, v, off-the-shoulder, sweetheart for a big bust, while a round, boat or crew neck flatters a smaller bust
- Avoid boxy or shapeless clothing that hides the waist
- Avoid flared skirts or wide leg trousers
