Body Types
You lovely, unique and wonderful woman – do you recognize your body type?
We're here to help you identify your body type and find the clothes that suit you best. Let us be your partner on the journey toward your own beauty and confidence!
We at VirQ celebrate the diverse beauty of women – let's start this journey together!
We divide bodies into five different and unique main types:
- A-body (pear)
- H-body (rectangle)
- O-body (apple)
- X-body (hourglass)
- Y-body (inverted triangle)
We women have very different body types – we are all equally lovely and unique. Each of us has our own beautiful curves and shapes to highlight. Clothes are created to bring out your unique beauty.
Once you first recognize your body type, we can together find those clothes from our collection that fit you best.
Every body type is beautiful and unique!
To recognize your body type, boldly step in front of a full-length mirror, preferably in your underwear. Study your body's proportions from both the front and side.
Here's how to examine your body's proportions:
Focus on three main points: shoulders – waist – hips
1. Shoulders
Look at the width of your shoulders. If your shoulders are clearly wider than your hips, you're probably a Y-body type.
2. Waist
Examine your waist shape:
- Clearly narrow and defined? → Points to X-body (hourglass)
- Less defined or round? → Could be H- or O-body
3. Hips
Compare the width of your hips to your shoulders:
- Hips wider than shoulders? → Probably A-body (pear)
- All areas roughly the same width? → H-body
Finally:
Look at your body's overall shape and where the weight center settles. Remember that body typing is just a tool – you are unique exactly as you are!
Body measurement
If you want to confirm your body type, you can use a measuring tape to measure the circumferences of your shoulders, waist, and hips and compare them:
- A-body: Narrow shoulders and wide hips
- H-body: Straight, proportional body where shoulders and hips are in the same line. Little to no waist definition
- O-body: Round midsection without contrasts above or below
- X-body: Balanced proportions and narrow waist
- Y-body: Wide shoulders and narrow waist/hips
In an A-body the hips are wider than the shoulders, and the waist is often beautifully accentuated. This body type radiates femininity and charm. A-line dresses and tunics that flow beautifully from the hips highlight this body's beautiful curves. Strengthen the upper body by choosing striking scarves and lirpukkas with gorgeous details and gentle colors – with these clothes you'll easily bring out your lovely individuality!
The H-body is straight-lined, where shoulders and hips are almost in the same line. This body type's waist may be less pronounced, but let the softness shine! Straight jumper dresses, tunics, and minimalist VirQ dresses where patterns take center stage create a stylish look that expresses strength and beauty. With this style, you can play with layering and boldly find new ways to highlight your beautiful features. Put a relaxed jacket over a mini dress or flutter with a poncho, for example.
In an O-body the shape is open and round, where the waist isn't particularly distinct. This body type is magnificent in its own uniqueness, and its beauty deserves to be highlighted. VirQ collection's A-line dresses are perfect choices that bring out this body's beautiful lines and soft shapes. Enjoy your own special style and wear clothes that draw gazes and boost your confidence!
The X-body is harmonious and balanced, where the upper and lower parts are nearly proportional and the waist is clearly narrow. This body type is a perfect choice for clothes that highlight beautiful lines. Choose VirQ collection dresses with soft fabrics and lovely colorful patterns – let the curves speak for themselves and feel enchanting! Put on your own belt, lirpukka scarf, or satin dress belt at your waist.
The Y-body, or inverted triangle, is known for wide shoulders and a narrow waist. This body type exudes strength and confidence. Highlight your gorgeous waist by choosing VirQ collection H-dresses, tunics, and jumper dresses with gentle colors and beautiful details, such as minimalist necklines. Use striking belts or find lovely lirpukka belts from our collection that bring out your strength and beauty.
When you know your body type, you can choose clothes that highlight your body's best features and help you feel beautiful and confident.
Remember that every body type is unique and beautiful in its own way. Be proud of your body and enjoy clothes that highlight your special loveliness and individual style!
We're here to help you find the style that makes you even more magnificent. Give yourself permission to radiate and shine with VirQ's unique patterns, beautiful colors, and well-fitting clothes.
Let's start this journey toward celebrating your beauty and femininity!
