Female body shape is for the most part pre-defined by your skeletal structure and your predisposed fat distribution. So you should work WITH your body shape instead of against it.
You have an hourglass body shape if you have equal-sized hips and shoulders with a small waist that is well defined.
What to wear: follow your natural silhouette while accentuate your waist, which is the slimmest part of your body. Choose clothing that shows off your curvy silhouette.
What to avoid: shapeless or baggy clothes that will overwhelm your frame and can even look lumpy. Also steer clear of straight cuts and boxy styles, which undefined your waist.

You have a pear body shape if you have a wider lower half or extra weight around your hips and thighs.
What to wear: anything that draws attention to your upper half and take attention away from the wider hips. You can do this by choosing prints or brighter colors for your top half. Also, you can use dark colors on your bottom half to slim your hips down a bit.
What to avoid: avoid anything that clings to the hips and thighs such as tight or crop tops and skinny jeans.

You have an apple body shape if you carry extra weight around your waist. An apple-shaped body is defined as a larger upper body than lower body with no defined waistline.
What to wear: aim for a balanced look, so that means well-fitted, tailored tops and jackets that are not skin tight.
What to avoid: avoid to have shoulder details or embellishments that draw too much attention. For dresses, you want to avoid bodycon dresses. Because you are missing that waist definition, tight pieces on both top and bottom will feel off-balanced and top-heavy.

You have a rectangle body shape if you wear the same size in tops and bottoms and your waist is undefined.
What to wear: creating the illusion of a waist will help you with the rectangle body type. Belts around your waist, mid-waisted trousers, and belted jackets are all great options. You have a great body type for practically any pair of pants, although Mid-rise jeans are probably your best bet because they will help highlight your waist more.
What to avoid: avoid silhouettes that are too vertical- like a straight jacket with straight trousers which will give you little definition. Keep away from shapeless, oversized, and too large items. Keep away from shapeless, oversized, and too large items

You have an inverted triangle body shape if you have slightly fleshy upper arms, which make your shoulder line appear wider. You also probably don’t have a lot of definition between your waist and hips.
What to wear: opt for items that accentuate your bottom half like an a-line skirt or wide-leg trousers to add volume.
What to avoid: avoid items widens appearance of your shoulders, such as necklines like boat-neck or Bardot, big straps, halter-neck tops, big shawl collars, and larger patterns on your top half.
