Finding lingerie for every day wear, for a fun night in, or for your next boudoir session can be very intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be. The first thing for you to figure out is.. what is your body shape. In this blog, we’re going to discuss the rectangle body shape specifically.

What is an rectangle body shape? Knowing what body shape you are first helps you to then know what to wear based on that shape. Here’s a quick description of an apple body shape.

Rectangle Shape Defined

This body shape can be described as little to no curves. The bust, shoulders and hips are very similar in size and measurements. Usually this body shape can have very long legs. They have very little definition in the waist and are often tall. The rectangle body shape can also be described as athletic body shape.

Now that you know you’re an apple body shape, what do you choose to wear for lingerie for your body type?

Since you don’t have very many natural curves you will want to choose lingerie that helps you do this. Giving off the appearance of having more curves with the pieces of lingerie you choose. You can choose to pick lingerie that highlights your top or your bottom, or you can highlight both.

Types of Lingerie to Wear

Lingerie pieces that help bring out the appearance of curves are what you’re going to want to go for. That and pieces that help to highlight your waist even if you have very little to no waist definition.

Ruffles

Ruffled pieces of lingerie are a nice way to add some more curves to the modest curves you already have. They add some more definition and volume to the areas you want to highlight as curvier. Try going for a ruffled boy short on the bottom to add more shape to your hips. Or choose a ruffled bralette to add those curves to your top half.
