How to Dress the X Body Shape

 

The X body shape is characterized by having shoulders and hips approximately equal in width with a well-defined waist. This body shape may also be referred to as the hourglass shape. 

  • Shoulders and hips are equal in width
  • A narrow, defined waistline
  • Small to large bust
  • Curvy hips and bum
  • Weight is evenly distributed throughout the body

As the X body shape is naturally balanced, the goal is to follow the body's natural silhouette by accentuating the waist while maintaining balance and proportion in the upper and lower parts of the body. 

  • Consider silhouettes that shows off your natural curves
  • Wear waist cinching details such as belts, fitted tops and dresses
  • Choose clothes with simple and clean details without too much detail or embellishments
  • Opt for rounded necklines such as crew, round, scoop or v necklines, off-the shoulder or sweetheart
  • Wear fabrics that drapes well
  • Avoid bulky or shapeless clothing that hides waist
