Women who are ruler shaped typically:
- have no real "problem area" when it comes to weight; they gain and lose all over
- have shoulders and hips of equal proportion
- have a small to average-sized bust
- have little definition at the waist (are "straight up and down")
Some ruler shaped celebrities include:
Many other shapes envy your easy-to-dress figure, but you may sometimes feel you're lacking in the curves department. Lucky for you though, it's easier to create curves than conceal them! And because you don't have one area that's prominent (ie. broad shoulders, a larger bust, or heavier thighs), you can experiment with most styles.
Ruler Shape Essentials
1. A Wrap Coat
With your streamlined shape, you can pull off a bulkier coat, but a belt will cinch in your waist for some added definition.

3. Button-Up Shirts

4. and 5. Shift Dresses
The '60s mod look is big this season, and you have just the right shape to pull off this type of dress. While this style can look awkward on more hourglass-y figures (fitting too tight around the hips and loose in the middle), it works perfectly on your boyish shape.
