The characteristics of a rectangular body shape are shoulder width is the same as the hip width, accompanied with a slight waist and longer legs.

The goal is to create the illusion of curves and accentuate the waist.

For the rectangular body type avoid shapeless three-quater length jackets, straight dresses and cropped tops.

Instead opt for single button jackets, belted three-quarter-length coats with hip pockets, A-line skirts, slightly flared trousers, shaped shirts, and elegant heels.

Celebrities such as Gwyenth Paltrow have a rectangular body type.
