Being an hourglass, I totally agree that low waist trouser doesn't look flattering... Loved the video♥️

[@ktg8670]

I'm 5'8" and wear a US size 6 to 8 with an hourglass figure. My chest size always either matches my hip measurements, or will be give or take 1" to 2" difference. My waist is always 8" to 10" smaller than my hip measurements, so for me, I've rarely found high-waisted pants that I like because I end up with excess material in my waist area. But I absolutely ❤wrap dresses and fitted clothing. I've been in situations where people have seen me wear a baggy top and then will see me wearing something fitted a month later and they will ask me did I lose a lot of weight. Because I'm busty, I can easily look 15 to 25 lbs bigger if I'm wearing baggy or bulky sweaters. So I got rid of those things!

[@natalyachernykh4599]

I am an hourglass and I don't like high wasted clothes because my upper body is smaller comparing to my legs. If I wear high wasted jeans my body looks disproportionate. Mid rise jeans or fitted dresses are my favorite!

Hi ❤️

[@Sasha-mb3rv]

Beyoncé is used as a hourglass example but she's actually pear shaped! :) it's because she balances her silhouette by accentuating her shoulders, that gives an illusion of a hourglass. I think the kibbe body type also allows a more precise way of dressing like your overall silhouette, more than just a simplified body shape. That'd be great to see a kibbe video on your channel!

[@Katarina54]

Beyonce is romantic type.

[@jeannedarc9222]

Yes! Kibbe system is in my opinion the best! Because I never knew in which one of these types I fall into, because I am supposed to be an hourglass, but none of the style tips fit me. But hearing about "soft dramatic" from Kibbe, it changed my life! 🤗 And you can see the huge difference between me and Beyonce, who is romantic, which is almost 100% different than me, whereas we would both be "hourglass/pear" in these categories 🙉

I have always had a “slim” hourglass. The downside is, as you said, we gain weight in our tummy, arms, face, etc. I felt uncomfortable growing up having curves at a young age, so I’ve gotten in the habit of oversized clothes. But I am trying to embrace it and not be embarrassed by wearing tighter clothes and wearing solid (not overly patterned) colors. I’m also petite in height, so wearing longer clothes (as opposed to a tube top, for example) gives the illusion of length.

Fuller curvy "hourglasses" are classified as Cello's ( Yes, I am referring to the string instrument) and we don't follow the same fashion rules of other smaller framed hourglasses. Christina Hendricks from Mad men is an example of a "Cello" Hourglass. Most hourglasses look great in pencil skirts but Cello's look better and more slimming if they wear a tulip skirt. I only discovered the Cello type recently and the fashion guidelines are so much more flattering to my figure.

I know I’m definitely a hourglass I’ve got both the booty and the bust but also the tummy which makes wearing fitted clothes a problem for me as I feel like I look pregnant which I am not.

[@amasion2882]

Actually, straighter body types (relatively even shoulders/bust, waist and hips) are often easier to dress than other figure types because there’s no need to upsize or downsize clothes to accommodate disproportions. Many fashion models have this figure type. An hourglass “illusion” can be created by adding volume above and below the waist either using lingerie or clothing style lines and silhouette.

[@Chiara-nn3kx]

I'm a true🍎...I don't bother calling myself an oval. Lol! I'm not old (33😕), but I have PCOS and I've carried weight in my belly since I was a teen. I do have some tips for apple shaped ladies: peplum tops are fabulous...empire waists are not. Since we tend to have slimmer hips, choose lower or mid-rise trousers to make the hips appear more defined than they actually are. It may be tempting to go with high-rise, especially as they are so trendy right now, but they will cut you off right in the middle of your largest area....not cute! And like Anna said, A-line dresses and skirts will help create balance and will show off those slim legs. Good luck ladies😊

I'm a slim hourglass, and I completely agree with your advice. We have many things in common, I'm a new subscriber and just wanted to let you know you're beautiful and I'm so happy to see women like yourself, being true elegant ladies. Well done and keep going ❤️

[@Jenierf]

Anna you look gorgeous in white!!!

[@vanessamvarela]

I am a rectangle with a long waist. Seperates and layering are key. Thank you for saying that belts can highlight the lack of waist, I've always felt that way but typical style advice says otherwise. Skinnies with a heel seem to help to balance the long torso.

[@shancat2973]

Hello Anna, Thank you for this video. It’s the first video I’ve seen that hasn’t just copied everyone else’s advice on pear/triangle shapes. You’ve actually given me different and excellent advice to proceed further with updating my wardrobe. I love watching your videos, and one day I would love to do your course. May I please finish with adding a request for a future video: cruelty free/ethical high end brands you suggest? Thank you again for the brilliant content and I will continue to be a loyal subscriber. Thank you again! - Shannon, Australia

I’m an inverted triangle, and it just clicked that this is why I probably do not like to wear necklaces and I love white jeans and trousers. To my fellow inverted triangles, am I the only one who thinks halter tops look amazing on us? X

[@IEVAKambarovaite]

So ready for this. Food, some fashion inspo. I'm here for it 💜 Anna, You look gorgeous in white. Love the cut of this blouse. Shows your neck beautifully.

[@lilianelelisoliveira2273]

Anna, I love when you talk about style and how to look more beautiful. You are my FAVORITE! Thanks for sharing! 😉

[@monaameri8751]

Ana, me and my mother love to watch your videos. Of course we have a basic understanding for elegance, but you seem to have so many amazing tips to share. Love your videos as always my love.

[@ernestinafranquetati1581]

Love your videos Ana. Please keep them coming. Thank you for everything❤

[@vanessamorales9675]

This really helps so much. My body seems to be a mix because I do have the neat hourglass waist, but my hips are a bit narrow as well as my shoulders.

[@ornellansoki]

I’m definitely a rectangle and your recommendations are dead on!!! I always look the best when wearing straight lines and peplum style jackets 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@jessicanajera20]

I'm an hour glass I always use oversized dress because I didn't know what to wear, thank you so much for the video! I have shopping to do.

[@bethearl8686]

First off, you look fabulous. Perfect hair, no jewelry and subtle makeup. You have come a long way. This is a great video. Good job.

[@qihuanwang2157]

Very useful information! My body type is hourglass. I often wear clothes that hide my waist line and also because I'm tall and have wide shoulders, I'm always looked bulky.

[@nishnish12]

I am using your videos selectively for inspiration in creating a syllabus to teach my 6yr old baby girl how to carry herself with confidence, grace and elegance as I believe all females should embrace their God given femininity💓 Thank you Anna for your channel and empowering content.

[@bebebonni1602]

This was so detailed in your suggestions. Honestly, priceless information! Thank you x

[@sirisiri7213]

Thanks a lot for this video. For a person like me that never paid a lot if attention to body shape, and didn't buy clothes accordingly, this has been extremely informative, you've explained it so well. I'll now go and check myself out even though I think I already have an idea of what I could be. Thankyou! X

[@callme_burbu5976]

I would love another video on a long neck vs a short neck vs wide neck and short torso vs long torso. I think these are huge factors in body shape as well. I always love the scarf around the neck tip! I love it but my neck is shorter so I never know what to do. Thank you, Anna!! Hopefully you do another video focusing on these!!! Xoxo

[@katemiller5990]

I am a curvey hourglass with a nipped in waist. I love pencil skirts! I am also an artist, who did a lot of life drawing (drawing nudes) through University. We had many different size and shape models come in and model for us. Truly, I found so much beauty in all of them, the body is amazing when you take time to study it ❤️ Don't forget- you have a beautiful body 😍

[@Chihiro_srg06]

Dearest Anna, I really enjoy your video and your teaching. To be completely honest, I do not entirely agree with you but you always present lot of things that is applicable for me (and I do believe for other women as well!) Coming from southeast asian middle/working-class family background and decided to move alone to Europe to catch my dream in media and film business has made me have to work twice harder than the locals. When I finally got my chance and put my baby steps in that industry, I followed your advises because I am not only facing people in the biz with different language and culture but also the affluent people. I learn how to communicate better, to stand up for myself in a classy way, win arguments, basically just knowing the proper ways to interact with people and respect them, have given me chances to pursue more opportunities. I am still working to enhance my career path, but knowing even a bit of information has helped me a lot! I now have clearer direction partly because of you :) Thank you very much! Keep inspiring lots of women :) Greetings from Germany!

[@glossygalaxydiaries2806]

You are 100% right in everything that you said. I have a hourglass figure while being skinny. And fitted clothes and high-waisted pants looks super good on me while the other type of clothing does not compliment my body shape. Thank you so much ❤️

[@meanwhilejessie2238]

Yay! Dropping everything to watch this NOW! I’m so excited to learn and grow from this video!

[@angelagallardo471]

Me too , is hard to find body type😭

[@SweetNovember000]

The kibbe body types was a game changer for me. It’s a much more in depth clasification of the body types. I’m an hour glass figure but in kinne I’m theatrical romantic and it’s so much more acurate. 😘

[@rebagramling7199]

I am definitely a circle. I am a plus-size woman, in mid- 30s with hormonal issues. So sadly all of my bulk is in my stomach. Not to mention being tall and big framed as well. Makes it hard to feel feminine. I dressed oversized for years trying to hide it. I have recently started transitioning my wardrobe to a line dressesI I have found tunics or anything empire or smocked waisted works as well. I stumbled across you and am absolutely loving your videos! There just might be some hope for me yet! Thank you for your content. It is very refreshing!

[@mini9415]

As define hourglass type, I was struggling so much with low waisted jeans back in the time. I felt that there is something wrong with me and I always felt like I am too fat. So sad to not know how to dress accordingly to your body shape ;( great video

[@Andrea.Coyoli]

Im an inverted triangle. Im ordering my palazzos asap. Great tips!!!

[@NYCBrat]

Thank you Anna for this video, so helpful. Looking forward to more like this!

[@amamiyakeina]

I am a typical hourglass while my bff is a rectangle, which explains a lot why the same styling does not work for her as me. We have been worried for this years and finally she gave up, assuming that rectangle could only wear things that are sporty or more casual. Therefore, really happy for this video, I would definitely get her to try items you mentioned!

[@marija7]

I always thought I was a triangle but it turns out that I'm actually a full hourglass! That's why I feel so good wearing fitted clothing! Thank you for this video, I am so happy that I know exactly what to buy now!

[@user-hv9wh5vv6p]

That's one of the most useful videos! Thank you Anna❤️❤️❤️

[@michellearaujo.]

I'm loving this channel and today I went shopping with some suggestions in mind. Of course I don't have Anna's budget but it doesn't mean I can't look my best with what I've got. My aim isn't to attract anyone but to feel more positive about myself. Thank you Anna!

[@joannakeska5141]

so eye-opening to learn that I'm actually an inverted triangle and not a rectangle! thanks a lot for this video, I would love to hear more on body types & suitable outfits in the future :)

[@paulajj3856]

It is as if the overall message is: “If you have an hourglass figure, embrace yourself!! Everyone else, hide the fact that you don't!!” And so I do not agree. Everyone is beautiful in their own way !!

[@mollyconnelly5309]

Paula Johansen Juul Thank you! I have liked her videos in the past, but this just seems so discriminatory against other body types. Everyone is beautiful, and I feel like she doesn’t have a lot of respect for high fashion and many body types

[@anezkakvasnickova9554]

Well, that’s the nature, the hourglass figure is the most desirable (showing fertility, youth etc) Unfortunately, some physical features are more desirable than others, denying it is like saying that acne or crappy hairs are beautiful.

[@ronjarichter4969]

True

[@toyinajewole8850]

It's all about creating balance and looking gorgeous. It's the silhouette and the overall appearance. She literally says 'proportional'. Don't get too flustered about it.

[@Canja89]

@@anezkakvasnickova9554 that is not right. 8% have an hourglass figure. Look it up. If it was the most fertile and fittest shape for women dont you think more would have it? It is just a way to get power over women by making a little fraction more desirable based on there body type. When 92% does not have an hourglass figure other body types is probably more fertile and overall healthier.

[@aliciaryan3192]

I'm so glad you presented this video, as this is my area where I struggle with the most. Greetings from South Africa

[@butterfield8116]

Anna, while In joying this program, I must say your skin look’s absolutely beautiful, so clean , so fresh, so young.

[@sarahwaterman3115]

Oh my goodness thank you for making this! -I struggle so hard finding cloths that fit my body type because I’m a rectangle and I’m also very short! I literally would cry when I would shop sometimes because it’s so hard finding flattering cloths that fit triangle shaped body types. Xo

[@angelicelly_904]

I don't get why we need to try to "camouflage" our body types to look a certain way. I am a reversed triangle (even tho I do have quite wide hips), and I absolutely love my clavicule, I've been told that it's gorgeous. I always dress to highlight this part of my body.

[@maureenfrechette7448]

i guess for me--beauty is harmony-and preportion-balance---cave men liked that waiste to hip ratio that shows fertility,,,,,,,beauty to me is smoke and mirrors-when marilyn got ready it took her 3 hours......💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💜💜💜💜💜💙💙🧡

[@princessd3966]

I didn’t Agree with that one. Pear shape is ideal to me. Maybe it’s a culture difference idk. A flat stomach & bigger hips don’t need to be hidden & it attracts men.

[@MH-ue7iy]

I don’t think it’s about hiding anything but looking the best in your clothes. I’m a curvy hour glass and I recently found out I should be wearing high waste and they truly make my figure look much better. It’s about making what you have look great not hiding

[@fabboolouse4227]

I love your content! As a person who loves and lived conservatively, your content encourage me to feel empowered with the lifestyle that I’ve been choosing ❤️✨

[@tanyawood275]

Answering your question, I am an hourglass shape. It is a little easier to dress. For the longest time I thought I was maybe pear shaped until I actually measured my body. So it really does help if you know for sure what shape you are.Thank you for doing this video!!

[@anasummers3833]

Anna, your videos help so much! Thank you❤️

[@doroparker1702]

Best you tubers on wardrobe and fashion so far... Daria Andronescu, Justine Leconte and Alexa Chung. Trinny makeover and Marie - Anne for women over 40 are wonderful. Better watch Canadian or French youtubers, US American have not the sense for elegance. They mostly are only sexy in a vulgar way.

[@shanti804]

Here I was living my life as an apple when I’m an hourglass shape! Thank you Anna for this clarity and advice. ❤️

[@marah3298]

Ashanti Williams me too!

[@Magpieme98]

ME too! I thought I was an apple but I don’t have skinny legs. When I put something fitted on I could see my true shape!

[@style_with_ce]

Thank you Anna! I have a triangle-shaped body and it's true that light trousers do not look good on us 😔. Thanks again for sharing all the information and tips with us. They will help me when shopping!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@revanmatti]

Anna Bey, low rise jeans are a nightmare for an hourglass figure! These types of videos are so helpful. Please keep them coming.❤❤❤

[@akiyoshidai]

Beeen theeere too, especially in my teens when Britney Spears was hot! Never ever will wear them again. The mid rise, dark wash superskinny Levis are the onyl pair of jeans I wear.

[@heraultelisa5954]

I'm an O shape... Hard to "hide" this mid area, and I tended to try to create a waist illusion with blazers, belts... But found something strange... And I gave birth 8 months ago, it doesn't help... But thank you for this advices! You're such an example as an elegant lady 🙏 Kisses from France, Bordeaux 💋

[@lalywindland5764]

I'm an hourglass that puts on weight only on the belly, breasts and butt. I look 4 months pregnant although I have never been pregnant. Shapewear helps me, empire-waisted gowns and everything that hides my belly and brings attention to my breasts and butt. A-line dresses also help me. I think what helps me could help you too, especially if you are tall, too, like me. Good luck!

[@ireneangelucci8984]

Where's my hourglass squad at??

[@elisabethm9655]

Inverted triangle here, with a modest waist definition. I love a-line skirts and peplum styles, too- they fake a waist! . Very nice video - Thank you.

[@polinaracheeva9163]

I think I'm in between a pear and an hourglass. My shoulders are same as my hips, my waist is smaller than hips by about 25 cm, but my bust is just slightly (like 15 cm) bigger than my waist. And I gain weight on lower belly and thighs. Never liked low rise pants on myself, neither do I like shapeless clothes

[@edithhsedits226]

YAY! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US AND POSTING THIS VIDEO😘

[@stephaniestanley4431]

Much gratitude as always Anna, you’re an etiquette guru working with energy and shining your Light for other women on the path. You’ve help me shift so much negative energy about myself, that sometimes made me uncomfortable so I knew it was the right way to go. The more I step outside of my comfort zone, the more confident I become. My current situation is extremely luxurious compared to 2 years ago. Blessings and gratitude 🙏 soul sister. Ps. I would rather not live through another puffed sleeve fashion trend. It hasn’t looked nice on a woman since the 19th century.😀 I’m just saying

[@cup3734]

Thank you! I always wanted to figure out my body shape, now I know I’m a rectangle / lean column. This will definitely help me with my wardrobe ☺️

[@danielleruthhipolito5781]

thank you! this is very informative especially because I'm an inverted triangle and it's hard to know the right outfits I should wear. Thanks again!
