In recent years, with the vigorous development of the fashion industry, more and more people have begun to pay attention to the matter of dressing and matching. Dressing is not just a simple way to put clothes on the body, it is an art that can show your personal taste and style through different combinations. And to do a good job of dressing and matching, you first need to recognize your body shape, because only by understanding your strengths and weaknesses can you choose clothes that suit you and make them both beautiful and comfortable.
So, how can you accurately judge your body form? In fact, through some simple comparisons, it is easy to draw conclusions. Below, I will combine my own experience and share with you how to judge your body shape by comparing the shoulder-to-waist ratio, waist-to-hip ratio, shoulder-to-hip ratio and upper and lower leg ratio, I hope it can be helpful to you.
1. Shoulder-to-waist ratio
The shoulder-to-waist ratio, as the name suggests, refers to the ratio of the width of the shoulders to the waist. By comparing the shoulder-to-waist ratio, you can preliminarily determine whether a person belongs to the type with wider shoulders and waist, so as to determine your body shape.
1. How to measure
To measure the shoulder-to-waist ratio, you first need to stand up straight, then measure the width of your shoulders and waist with a soft ruler or ruler, and finally compare the data of the two to get an accurate shoulder-to-waist ratio.
2. Criteria for Judgment
- If your shoulder-to-waist ratio is close to 1:1, which means that the width of your shoulders and waist is almost the same, then congratulations, you have a well-proportioned body shape that is ideal.
- If your shoulder-to-waist ratio is greater than 1:1, that is, your shoulders are wider than your waist, then you are a type with wider shoulders and waists, which may be an inverted triangle or a pear-shaped body.
- Conversely, if your shoulder-to-waist ratio is less than 1:1, i.e., your waist is slightly wider than your shoulders, then you are a narrower shoulder-to-waist type, which may be an hourglass or pear-shaped body.
By comparing your shoulder-to-waist ratio, you can preliminarily judge your body shape, but this is only a general direction, and next, you need to combine the waist-to-hip ratio, shoulder-to-hip ratio and the ratio of large and small legs to conduct a comprehensive analysis.
Second, the waist-to-hip ratio
The waist-to-hip ratio, as the name suggests, refers to the ratio of the width of the waist to the hips. The waist-to-hip ratio can be a good reflection of a person's pelvic width, thus helping us to judge our body shape more accurately.
1. How to measure
The method of measuring the waist-to-hip ratio is also very simple, the same is to measure your waist circumference and hip circumference with a soft ruler or ruler, and then compare the data of the two to get an accurate waist-to-hip ratio.
2. Criteria for Judgment
- If your waist-to-hip ratio is greater than 1:1, that is, the waist is narrower than the hips, then congratulations, you are the type with a thinner waist, which may be an H-shaped body or an inverted triangle.
- If your waist-to-hip ratio is close to 1:1, that is, the width of your waist and hips are almost the same, then you are a more proportionate waist-to-hip type, probably an hourglass shape.
- Conversely, if your waist-to-hip ratio is less than 1:1, that is, your waist is wider than your hips, then you are the type with fuller hips, which may be a pear-shaped body.
By comparing your waist-to-hip ratio, you can have a clearer understanding of the width of your pelvis, so as to provide a certain reference for subsequent dressing.
3. Shoulder-to-hip ratio
The shoulder-to-hip ratio, as the name suggests, refers to the ratio of the width of the shoulders to the hips. The shoulder-to-hip ratio can well reflect the proportional relationship between a person's upper body and lower body, thus helping us to understand our body shape more comprehensively.
1. How to measure
The method of measuring the shoulder-to-hip ratio is similar to the previous two indicators, which is to measure your shoulder width and hip width with a soft ruler or ruler respectively, and then compare the data of the two to get an accurate shoulder-to-hip ratio.
2. Criteria for Judgment
- If your shoulder-to-hip ratio is greater than 1:1, i.e. your shoulders are wider than your hips, then congratulations, you have a wider shoulders, which may be an inverted triangle or a pear-shaped body.
- If your shoulder-to-hip ratio is close to 1:1, which means that your shoulders and hips are almost the same width, then you are a more symmetrical shoulder-to-hip type, probably an hourglass shape.
- Conversely, if your shoulder-to-hip ratio is less than 1:1, that is, your shoulders are narrower than your hips, then you are a type with fuller hips, which may be a pear-shaped body.
By comparing your shoulder-to-hip ratio, you can clearly understand the proportional relationship between your upper and lower body, find the right focus for dressing, and highlight your own advantages.
Fourth, the ratio of large and small legs
In addition to the proportional relationship between the upper body and the lower body, the thickness ratio of the upper and lower legs is also a very important indicator, which can well modify the overall body proportions and give people a slender and straight visual effect.
1. How to measure
The method of measuring the ratio of the upper and lower legs is also very simple, you can measure the circumference of the thigh and calf with a soft ruler or ruler respectively, and then compare the data of the two to get an accurate ratio of the upper and lower legs.
2. Criteria for Judgment
- Generally speaking, when the ratio of thighs to calves is close to 2:1, the visual effect will be ideal, and it can give people a slender and straight feeling.
- If your thighs are slightly thicker than your calves, you can use some dressing techniques to cover your thighs and flatter your legs to create a more perfect body proportion.
By comparing the proportions of your own legs, you can choose the right pants style, which can not only highlight your advantages, but also modify the leg curve well, so as to achieve the perfect combination of fashion and comfort.
V. Conclusion
By comparing the shoulder-to-waist ratio, waist-to-hip ratio, shoulder-to-hip ratio and thigh-to-leg ratio, I believe everyone has a clearer understanding of their body shape. Each body shape has its own unique charm, and understanding our own body shape can help us better grasp the skills of dressing and matching, find the clothing style that suits us, and show the most beautiful version of ourselves.
Of course, in addition to the body shape, there are many other factors to consider when dressing and matching, such as personal preferences, temperament, style, and dressing requirements for different occasions. The most important thing is that dressing and matching should be a happy thing, and you can show your colorful self through different clothes, convey confidence and beauty, and be different.
I hope that every little fairy can continue to explore, try bravely, find her own style, exude a unique light, and live a wonderful life on the road of dressing and matching.
