Style Guide - The Rectangle body shape

Rectangle ladies are fairly straight up and down. There’s no main area you want to minimise so you can get away with more things than most. However you may want to give the impression of a curvier silhouette – an illusion easily created with the right clothing.

Bring out your best:

Try any of our dresses Lynda, Polly or the sally anne pinafore they’ll all help to give you shape. Try tucking your top into your trousers and then using a belt to make more of your waist or hips.The pencil skirts Emma or Helen will create curves whilst the fullness of the Hayley skirt will give shape. Create shape with our jackets which nip in at the waist. The Natalie, Katie or Anna would be a great addition to your wardrobe, as would the Amy waistcoat as a new alternative to a jacket.
