Two body types that fall under the rectangular shaped body:

ATHLETIC:
- Broad shoulders
- Strong sporty body
- Few curves
- Shoulder and hips of the same width
- Slight (undefined) waist
- Small bust
The great advantage of an athletic shape is you can wear pretty much anything. Although, a lot of women with this body shape feel unfeminine and find it difficult to find clothes that suit their shape.
BODY STRUCTURES
PETITE
A petite body shape doesn't just mean 'short'; it can also mean that you have a small body frame.
The word “petite” refers majorly to the smaller height of a person, usually 5'4"or under, and NOT the weight. Petite women come in all shapes and sizes
TALL
So what's tall? If you're five foot 10 (1m 78cm), you're there. Tall women can have any type of body shape.
