Now that we've explored a few ways to wear blazers, let's introduce the main body types. The first model, the hourglass, is the most balanced shape of all because the shoulders and hips are very close if not exactly the same in measurement. For this reason, there are very few focal areas to address when working with this model. The wedge model (also know as inverted triangle) has a high balance. This means that most of the weight is gained above the hips and the shoulder is wider than the hips. Broad shoulders make a huge difference when you're deciding the cut of your tops and jackets. Shoulder pads or military cuts can make this model look like a "line backer". The next model is the triangle. This shape is very common and women that match this model have a low balance. This is the opposite of the inverted triangle, meaning most of the weight is gained at the hips. Sometimes, this model can have the illusion of being shorter at first glance. The hips are wider than the shoulders with a defined waist. Finally, we have the rectangular model. These models are what we typically see on a mannequin. The curves are not very defined and rather than balancing them, the curves must be created.
