Body Type Calculator

The Body Type Calculator helps individuals determine their body shape by comparing key measurements such as chest (bust for women), waist, hips, and high hips. This information can guide outfit choices tailored to flatter your unique figure. While some studies link certain body shapes to health risks, this tool is primarily designed for fashion and style purposes. For a more accurate health indicator, the calculator also provides the waist-hip ratio (WHR), which better reflects potential health risks related to fat distribution.

When measuring, stand straight with your arms relaxed at your sides. Use a measuring tape that is snug but not tight. For women, measure the bust over the fullest part while wearing a properly fitted bra; for men, measure the chest at its fullest point. Measure the waist at the narrowest point just above the belly button, the high hips about 18 cm (7 inches) below the waist, and the hips at the widest part of the buttocks.

Common body shapes vary between genders but often include Apple (inverted triangle), Banana (rectangle), Pear (triangle), and Hourglass types. This calculator analyzes measurement differences and ratios to classify your body shape into one of several categories, helping you better understand your silhouette and choose clothing that complements your proportions.
