Style
Knowing how to dress to accentuate your (ass)ets can be tricky, especially when certain clothes look amazing on your favorite influencers and celebrities, but only to make you look like a potato when you try it on. Sigh… I created this guide to help you identify your body type and included styling tips on what tops, dresses and bottoms to wear to look your best, regardless of your size. Because unlike Megan Thee Stallion, we don’t all have curvy, wavy, big titties, lil’ waists. Now, if you would please step into my office…(*insert “Body” song here*)
You’re probably a rectangle if:
.

Now that you know your body type, let’s explore styling tips and Swap & Strut clothing recommendations.
Style Tips
If you’re looking to create the appearance of curves, you’ll want to define the waist by breaking up the rectangle.
Swap & Strut Recommendation
The Swap and Strut Gemma Dress is a flattering dress on rectangles as it creates the appearance of curves with the statement puff shoulders, and accentuates the waist with her side waist cutouts.
Style Tips
If you’re looking to create the appearance of an elongated body, you’ll want to draw the eye upward and highlight the waist or neckline. Accessories like statement necklaces and earrings are your BFFs.
Swap & Strut Recommendation
The Swap and Strut Celeste Tie-front Dress draws the eye upward with its v-neckline and tie front detail. She accentuates the waist with her waist hem and flowy skirt that hits mid-thigh, making her a flattering dress for pears.
Style Tips
You’ll want to highlight your full bust and legs – move over Betty Boop! In general, silhouettes that don’t rely on a traditionally structured waistline are your best bet.
Swap & Strut Recommendation
The Swap and Strut Stella Dress is a flattering dress on inverted triangles as it delivers a structured A-line silhouette and shows off your legs with its above the knee length.
Style Tips
You’ll want to define your waist and show off your curves! Body hugging silhouttes, belted, and waist cutouts are your BFFs.
Swap & Strut Recommendation
The Swap and Strut Scarlett Knit Dress defines both your bust and waist, while showing off your curves with its fitted curve hugging knit material. The tie front detail draws the eye upward, towards your bust and waist. While the black hugging material accentuates your curved hips while providing a slimming look.
Knowing your your body type will help you pick styles that make you look your best. No more looking like a potato (just looking good eating them)!
