How to Finally Understand Your Body Shape
Episode 226
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025
If you've ever taken a body shape quiz only to feel more confused than when you started, you're not alone. Despite all the resources out there—quizzes, blog posts, entire businesses built around body types—understanding and dressing your shape remains the #1 challenge I hear from women.Today, I'm breaking down why traditional body shape labels like "apple," "pear," "hourglass," and "rectangle" aren't working for most of us. More importantly, I'm sharing a better way forward that doesn't require you to fit perfectly into a labeled box.In this episode, you'll discover: The six major problems with traditional body shape labelsWhy rectangles are the most underserved body shape, despite making up the largest percentage of womenThe real reason I still use body shape labelsA practical three-element framework for understanding your unique body without any label at allHow to shift from asking "Can I wear that?" to "What will that do for me?" I hope this episode helps you realize that if labels and lists have never made style easier for you, it's not because your body is too unusual or too complicated—it's because the system itself is flawed. You don't need the perfect label to find clothes that make you feel amazing—you just need to understand your unique body and learn what clothes can do. And once you do, that knowledge is yours forever, regardless of how your body, lifestyle, or fashion trends change.Don't forget to submit your end-of-season style questions here.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/ep-226
