Your natural body shape is a rectangle if:
- Your shoulders are as wide as your hips/thighs
- Your waist is as wide as (or just slightly narrower than) your shoulders and hips/thighs.
Clothing that have straight vertical side seams or give the impression of one continuous vertical seam line will be most ideal for your body shape.
Example of rectangle body shape:

1. Select pieces where the waistline is usually bypassed. If you have a slight waist, it is possible to give it emphasis with a narrow belt or a loose belt.

2. Check that the shoulders never extend beyond the hips, neither is the cutting of the shoulder smaller than the hips.
