Fullest buttocks
Body shape
Hourglass
Also: X-shape, opposing triangles
Hip and bust nearly equal with a clearly narrower waist.
Waist–hip ratio (WHR)
0.67
Lower risk band (≤0.80 for women in many guidelines).
Shape is for styling — WHR is the stronger health screening number.
Hourglass
X-shape, opposing triangles
0.67
Lower risk band (≤0.80 for women in many guidelines).
Bust−hip 0″ · Hip−waist 11.8″
High hip/waist 1.33 (spoon if ≥1.193)
90·60·80·90 cm
Hourglass · WHR 0.67
36·26·33·37 in
Hourglass · 0.7
34·29·37·40 in
Spoon · 0.73
35·30·34·35 in
Rectangle · 0.86
WHR = waist ÷ hip
High hip / waist = high hip ÷ waist (spoon if ≥ 1.193)
Shape rules compare bust−hip, hip−bust, bust−waist, hip−waist (inches)
All thresholds are evaluated in inches after unit conversion. Rules run in priority order — first match wins.
| Shape | Rule (inches) | Fashion alias | Styling focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourglass | |bust−hip| ≤ 1″ AND |hip−bust| < 3.6″ AND (bust−waist ≥ 9″ OR hip−waist ≥ 10″) | X-shape, opposing triangles | Defined waist — belts, wrap tops, fitted styles |
| Bottom hourglass | hip−bust 3.6–10″, hip−waist ≥ 9″, high hip/waist < 1.193 | Curvy pear-hourglass | Balance lower curve — A-line, structured shoulders |
| Top hourglass | bust−hip 1–10″, bust−waist ≥ 9″ | Curvy inverted emphasis | Balance bust — V-necks, detail on lower half |
| Spoon | hip−bust > 2″, hip−waist ≥ 7″, high hip/waist ≥ 1.193 | Pear, bell (curvy lower) | Highlight waist; avoid bulk at hips |
| Triangle | hip−bust ≥ 3.6″, hip−waist < 9″ | Pear, bell | Add shoulder volume; darker bottoms |
| Inverted triangle | bust−hip ≥ 3.6″, bust−waist < 9″ | Apple (fashion) | Add hip volume; simple necklines |
| Rectangle | Bust ≈ hips, waist < 9″ smaller than bust and < 10″ smaller than hips | Banana, straight | Create waist lines — peplum, belts, color blocking |
Over fullest part of chest in a fitted bra. Tape parallel to floor, snug not tight.
Smallest natural waist circumference, usually just above the navel.
Upper hip swell ~7 in (18 cm) below waist — used to distinguish spoon vs triangle.
Largest circumference over the fullest part of the buttocks.
| WHR range | Context |
|---|---|
| ≤ 0.80 (women) | Lower risk band (NIDDK context for women) |
| 0.80 – 0.85 | Moderate — lifestyle factors matter |
| > 0.85 (women) | Elevated — WHO obesity threshold for women |
| > 1.0 (men) | Elevated for men (this tool is tuned for female shapes) |
Example: hourglass 36/26/37″ → WHR 0.7 (lower); rectangle 35/30/35″ → WHR 0.86 (elevated). WHR is a population risk marker — not a personal diagnosis.
| Shape | Share | Source |
