Body Shape Question: What Shape Am I If I Have High Hips?
by Elisabeth
Model with hourglass shape and high hips
Lumps and Bumps = Problem AreaHowever it definitely sounds like you are an hourglass body shape but with hip bones further up your body. This is more of a "problem area" issue and doesn't automatically put you out of the Hourglass group.I believe you're an Hourglass Body Shape but with lumps and bumps (that's normal!) What really indicates that you are an hourglass is the shape of your torso - which the shoulders and bust are at approximately same width as your high hips and your defined waist. If I were you I wouldn't worry too much about trying to fit into one single category, but try to find one close to your shape and do some tweaking to smooth over what you don't like and add more curves to parts lacking it. My tips for Apple body shapes help with skimming past your lower hips/abdomen. High Hips = Short WaistYour high hips can also be an indication of a shorter torso because the hips appear higher up on the torso and shorten it. Another characteristic that indicates that you do have a short torso is that you look wider on top (this is due to the lack of waist length) which can explain why you feel fat when wearing nipped tops.I suggest that you also dress for this issue which you can find tips on in the Vertical Body Shape-section. Elongating your torso will help downplay your high hips. So you've got the ideal proportions but with an 'uneven' surface around the hips, how do dress to smoothen it out? What to Wear with High Hips?![]() August 2011 Update: If worn wrong high waist can shorten your torso and highlight your high hips.
