H-shaped morphology

With an H-shaped morphology, the shoulders, waist, and hips are aligned. This is also referred to as a wiry silhouette. This is the profile of many women in France. Clothes that are too tight or that mark the waist should be avoided. Low waist cuts and flowing materials should be preferred.

V-shaped morphology

The V-shaped woman is often very athletic, with muscular shoulders. Her upper body is wider than the lower. In this case, the upper body should be covered and the legs should be highlighted more with an asymmetrical or side-slit skirt.
