1/18 Shoulder to Hip Ratio

Which image best represents the width of your shoulders compared with the widest part of your hips?

2/18 Widest part of Hips

Which image best represents the widest part of your hips?

TIP: We need to determine if the upper or lower part of your hip is widest as this can make a difference to the best style of skirts and trousers for you. (Thank you to Imogen Lamport of ‘Inside Out Style’ for her work on the high hip body shape).

2.1. At my lower hip

There is a slope from waist to hips and the widest point of the hip is around the top of the thigh.

The hip comes out just under the waist and then tapers around down the thigh.

This works better if you are sitting or standing upright with a straight back. (Thank you to Imogen Lamport, ‘Inside Out Style’, for this easy tip on how to discover your body balance).
