Everybody is different and each person is unique. It doesn't matter what your body looks like, you should love it. Let's look at the different body shapes for men and women:

Body shapes for women

Rectangle, straight, banana: Your waist measurements should be approximately the same size as your hips, bust, and shoulders.
Triangle or pear: You will notice that your shoulders and bust are wider than your hips when you have this shape. You have likely slim arms and a defined waist. Your waistline will slope out towards your hips.
Spoon: The spoon body type looks very similar to the triangle. Your hips are likely to be wider than your bust. This can give you a "shelf" appearance. You are likely to have a defined waist. You may also be carrying some weight in your upper arms, upper thighs, and upper torso.
Hourglass: Hourglass shape is when your hips and bust size are almost equal. If you have a well-defined waist, which is narrower than the other, then you have a good chance of having an hourglass shape. Your upper body and legs are likely to be proportionate. You may have slightly rounded shoulders and rounded buttocks.
Top hourglass: Although you are an hourglass shape, your bust measurements may be slightly larger than those of your hips.
Bottom hourglass: Although you are a general hourglass shape, your hip measurements are slightly larger that your bust.
Inverted triangle or apple: If your shoulders, bust, and hips are larger than your relatively narrow hips you may be an apple shape or inverted triangle.
Round or oval: Your bust should be larger than the rest. If your hips are wider than your body, and your midsection is more full, then you may have what is commonly known as a round or oval type of body.
