About Find My Shape and how the calculators work

Find My Shape is a free set of body shape and face shape calculators with a style guide for each result. It exists to help you choose clothes, glasses and hairstyles that suit you, using a few tape measurements.

How your shape is decided

Each calculator compares your measurements as ratios. Rules are checked in order and the first match wins:

Women’s body shapes

1. Apple: Waist is 85% or more of the wider of bust and hips.
2. Pear: Hips are at least 5% bigger than the bust.
3. Inverted triangle: Bust is at least 5% bigger than the hips.
4. Hourglass: Bust and hips within 5%, waist 75% or less of the wider.
5. Rectangle: Bust and hips within 5%, waist between 75% and 85% of the wider.

Men’s body shapes

1. Oval: Waist is 98% or more of the wider of chest and hips.
2. Triangle: Hips are at least 5% bigger than the chest.
3. Inverted triangle: Chest is at least 10% bigger than the hips.
4. Trapezoid: None of the above, and waist is 90% or less of the wider of chest and hips.
5. Rectangle: None of the above, and waist is between 90% and 98% of the wider of chest and hips.

Face shapes

1. Diamond: Forehead and jaw are both 85% or less of the cheekbone width.
2. Heart: Forehead is 95% or more of the cheekbone width and the jaw is 80% or less.
3. Oblong: Face length is 1.45 times the cheekbone width or more.
4. Square: Jaw is 90% or more of the cheekbone width.
5. Round: Face length is 1.25 times the cheekbone width or less.
6. Oval: None of the above: a length between 1.25 and 1.45 times the cheekbone width, and a softer jaw.

There is no single scientific standard for these cutoffs. They follow the most common conventions in styling guides, and other sites draw the lines in slightly different places. When your measurements are within a small margin of a line, the calculator shows the neighbouring shape too.

What the advice is

The guides use common tailoring and styling principles: where a hem, seam or neckline sits, how a fabric drapes, which cuts tend to need alterations, and how hair, frames and jewellery change the apparent proportions of a face. They are general suggestions and your own taste always comes first.

What it is not

This is a styling tool. It does not assess health, weight, fitness or attractiveness, and shape says nothing about any of those. Nothing on this site is medical advice.
