X Shape Profile
You're an X Shape If...
Your hips and shoulders are BFFs - about the same width. - Your waistline loves to show off (defined and narrow, thank you very much).
- When you gain weight, it tends to hang out in your bust or bum first.
Think Kim Kardashian for the curvy Full X vibes, but Neat X’s are actually more common. You’re a neat X if your waist is defined and your bum and bust are less full.
Tip For “X” Shape:
Show those curves some love! Styles that highlight your waist, hips, and bust will have you feeling like a million bucks. Tops that hit right at your natural waist or can be tucked in? Chef’s kiss. Just watch out for super-straight styles - they can hide your shape instead of celebrating it.
Best Looks For “X”
Lead with your curves! Pick figure flattering fabric and cuts. Look for styles that have an X shape to them i.e. halter necks, patterns with an X element.
5 “X” Capsule Shopping Essentials:
- Mid-to high-rise denim with stretch
- Scoop or v-neck tops ideally with give (look for modal, viscose, cashmere)
- A light knit cardigan that falls below the hips (no pockets)
- Belted anything - it helps draw attention to your narrowest part
- A classic blazer with clean lines, cropped if possible
