I used to think I just wasn’t good at putting outfits together… turns out I just wasn’t dressing for my body type. 🤍

Any other rectangle body girls here? 🙋‍♀️ Shop all of my date night outfits through the link in my bio!

7/12 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone with a rectangle body shape, I've realized how much the right outfit can transform not just how I look, but how I feel. For those unfamiliar, a rectangle body shape means your bust, waist, and hips are quite similar in dimensions, which can sometimes make it feel like styles aren't flattering enough. One key tip I've found is to create the illusion of curves by choosing outfits that add definition to the waist. Belts are amazing for this, especially when paired with dresses or high-waisted pants. Wrap dresses that cinch in at the waist or peplum tops that add volume at the hips have also become wardrobe staples for me. They help break up the straight lines and add feminine shape. Another trick is to experiment with layering. For instance, a fitted blazer or jacket that nips in at the waist paired with a flowy top can create a balanced silhouette. You can also play with textures and prints—bold patterns around bust or hips and solid colors around the waist provide some visual interest and depth. Since the article mentioned date night outfits, some of my personal favorites include A-line skirts and tops with ruffles or puff sleeves; these add volume where it counts while keeping looks elegant. Pairing them with trendy accessories and shoes makes the outfit complete. Finally, confidence truly is the best accessory. Once I started dressing for my body shape rather than following random trends, I found it easier to express my style and feel comfortable no matter the occasion. If you're a rectangle body type like me, experiment with these tips to find what makes you shine on your next date night!
