What are body types?
Body types are a way of understanding which silhouettes, proportions, and clothing shapes naturally work with your frame.
Rather than focusing on size or trends, they look at overall visual balance - structure and softness, length and compactness, sharpness and roundness.
The goal is not to limit what you wear, but to help explain why certain silhouettes feel more effortless and harmonious on you.
How do body types work?
Each body type has its own visual balance and silhouette language.
Some people naturally suit long, clean lines and strong tailoring. Others shine in softness and drape, waist definition, or more compact proportions and detail.
Most body types sit somewhere between structure and softness, with different shapes, fabrics, and proportions feeling more natural than others.
How does Very YOU use body types?
At Very YOU, your body type is one part of your personal style profile, combined with your colour season and style identity to help surface pieces that feel naturally aligned with you.
From tailoring and drape to shape, balance, and proportion, it helps make shopping feel simpler, more intuitive, and more personal.
Because when clothes work with your frame, getting dressed feels effortless.
