I don't know why but a lot of women these days seem to not care anymore about looking and behaving feminine... It's so refreshing to see you still embracing femininity.
雨流星 No, a lot of us do care. Especially in our Lebanese culture.
I know right
@@kinndah2519 That's great! In the place I live, unfortunately the mayority doesn't :( but there sure are some that do!
Because we're not supposed to not be one or the other. Men can be both feminine and masculine, females can be both feminine and masculine. It's time to stop with the labels and just be authentically ourselves.
@@anastacyahdaughter5982 I got it, Anastacia. I do see how there is an uprise in the masculine in females, with many shutting off their feminine-nature. But the truth is we are both. Even Anna, it's her 'masculine' energy leading and driving this channel.
I'm also an hourglass, I must say that I completely agree, fitted dresses look fabulous on us !
I absolutely adore this community of fabulous women that embrace their femininity🥰
Lisa Hart omg you’re so blessed!
Lisa Hart hi Lisa, love your channel too!!
I'm more modest in my tates and I live in nice cold England, how do you take the desire to cover up and even the need to stay warm without hiding your figure. I'm definitely guilty of layering and wearing stiff fabrics.
@@whatsonhermind1768 Oh thank you darling 😍
@@LBGHughes I love to enhance my waist personally, also knitted dress are perfect when it's cold. Fitted dresses can be modest actually, it depends on the cut and the material, I personally love midi length dresses.

Thank you!!! 😘
I wish I had an hourglass figure..
@@kpc9602 Ugh same girl!
Being an hourglass, I totally agree that low waist trouser doesn't look flattering... Loved the video♥️
I'm 5'8" and wear a US size 6 to 8 with an hourglass figure. My chest size always either matches my hip measurements, or will be give or take 1" to 2" difference. My waist is always 8" to 10" smaller than my hip measurements, so for me, I've rarely found high-waisted pants that I like because I end up with excess material in my waist area. But I absolutely ❤wrap dresses and fitted clothing.
I've been in situations where people have seen me wear a baggy top and then will see me wearing something fitted a month later and they will ask me did I lose a lot of weight. Because I'm busty, I can easily look 15 to 25 lbs bigger if I'm wearing baggy or bulky sweaters. So I got rid of those things!
I am an hourglass and I don't like high wasted clothes because my upper body is smaller comparing to my legs. If I wear high wasted jeans my body looks disproportionate. Mid rise jeans or fitted dresses are my favorite!
Theyre also very uncomfortable. That should say something
@Mikah B they are the worst for people with longer torso and shorter legs. They make your torso even longer, but make your butt go lower to the ground
Yes! Or even feel flattering
I’m an inverted triangle and it’s so rare to hear people give a advice on it!!
exactly
It's funny that I still don't understand what is my body type hahahaahah
Could you do a segment on "long waisted" versus "short waisted "?
Yes this would be great..... I have such long legs and a very short upper body. It's so hard to find the right blouses.
Erika Maria I am with you! I have the same problem. Long arms and legs and short waisted
I have a really long waist...😶
That's also an important factor. When I got to know that I'm slightly long torsoed, it changed the entire way of how I choose a silhouette for me
@@polinaracheeva9163 how can one do that? Can you give any tips??
Where is my inverted triangle squad 😂?
Here 🙋🏻♀️😊
Mile Cast 😂
Hi 🙋🏻♀️
🙋🏻♀️
Girls I’ve discovered our secret weapon, the A line mini skirt! It gives us the look of a waist, bigger hips, and shows off our good legs😉
all my curvy hourglasses where you at 😌 ?
edit : woah i never got sm likes before thanks 😂 .
Here! I am fine with my shape, although I tend to get bloated and put on weight only on my belly. So, in order to not look pregnant when I am not, shapewear is my friend. Empire-waist gowns look good on me. Everything that draws attention to my big natural breasts and butt and hides my belly is great, too. It's weird that I don't gain weight on the hips or on the sides of my body, it all goes to my breasts, butt and belly. My parents were more into sports than I am and had the same problems , so I guess it's genetics. I didn't have children yet so it's not because of a pregnancy.
Oh my God literally just made a comment above I have the exact same problem 😭 I love my body shape but I wish I had a tummy be gone 😂
Here
@@lalywindland5764 me too. I gain weight first on my breast. This is only part on me i do not like. I would prefer to have small breast. But in general i am happy with hourglass figure.
Hi ❤️
You’re the first person I’ve heard who recognizes that drawing attention to the waist just highlights the lack of waist definition in a rectangle body shape. Thank you! I definitely find that more architectural, structural clothing looks best on my rectangle body shape, and this really makes a lot of sense to me now! Thanks so much! 😊❤️
Finally! Someone who acknowledges shoulders instead of bust! 🙌 I was starting to think I was the only one who knew that your bust didn’t frame your body 😂
I have always been confused about my body type because of the fact that people always say measure breast to hips which would make me a pear and others say shoulders to hips which would make me hourglass.
Same dear. Same.😭
I am actually in between inverted triangle and hourglass figure
My upper body is just a little bit stronger than my lower body
Nikoleta Cude same!!!! It also depends on my weight
Same!
Mine too and I'm confused
Me too! Mostly because when I lose weight, I lose it around my waist, so I end up looking like a curvy inverted triangle lol
Auburn Rose omg same! Like when I draw a line between my shoulders and hips, the shoulder area appears a few millimeters wider but if I gain weight my hips even it out, I have hip dips so that might be the reason we have this issue lol!
I absolutely love your content. In this day where femininity is considered as something to be ashamed of,we need more women like you talking abput traditional feminism and all those things. Love your content .
Maryam Chohan so true! You would love our website! The Not-So desperate housewives ;)
We really do. Femininity is slowly dying
I am triangle shaped;although on the big side. This was nice
I think toxic feminity has been a problem for so long, great to see women and men breaking clothing boundaries, as clothing don't belong to either gender.
I so agree.
Dear Anna, I just wanted to tell you, that I started my journey to become more feminine and elegant because of your channel and it already has some huge effects on my life. I keep following you. Great work, big big thank you! ❤️
when she emphasis THERE IS NO WAIST. im crying, that is soo sad xD
i have this problem, really hard to dress...
@Xia 8xxx yeah... Cause everyone affords Chanel
There is a waist as the body, it just isn't emphasized! I'm a rectangle/triangle :)
@@mariahj.perrin6194 I have similar body type. I'm training my waist to be smaller and do exercises
Actually, straighter body types (relatively even shoulders/bust, waist and hips) are often easier to dress than other figure types because there’s no need to upsize or downsize clothes to accommodate disproportions. Many fashion models have this figure type. An hourglass “illusion” can be created by adding volume above and below the waist either using lingerie or clothing style lines and silhouette.
Beyoncé is used as a hourglass example but she's actually pear shaped! :) it's because she balances her silhouette by accentuating her shoulders, that gives an illusion of a hourglass.
I think the kibbe body type also allows a more precise way of dressing like your overall silhouette, more than just a simplified body shape. That'd be great to see a kibbe video on your channel!
Beyonce is romantic type.
Yes! Kibbe system is in my opinion the best! Because I never knew in which one of these types I fall into, because I am supposed to be an hourglass, but none of the style tips fit me. But hearing about "soft dramatic" from Kibbe, it changed my life! 🤗
And you can see the huge difference between me and Beyonce, who is romantic, which is almost 100% different than me, whereas we would both be "hourglass/pear" in these categories 🙉
@@jeannedarc9222 it also helps a lot with the type of clothes like frilly or sleek for example (which wouldn't suit every kibbe type)!
@@jeannedarc9222 Isto tako ne mislim ni da Ana ima figuru peščanog sata. To sto se ona trudi da bude, to je druga stvar. Cini mi se da je visoka, primetila sam da ima i vece sake. Mada radila je nos, usta i jagodice pa moze biti zabune.
@@Katarina54 hahahahha bas. Meni je ona vise ovaj rectangle 🤔
I have a neat hourglass figure and I remember when low rise trousers and jeans were about all you could find😱 high waisted everything at least for me in the way to go
Now much of these jeans without elasthan are coming. Everytime when I try them it doesn't work and looks horrible😂. By these Jeans I would need 3sizes difference from waist and the rest👖😂.
Small waist and round booty problems
Caty I know! It’s so hard to find ones that fit properly, and sometimes the only option is to take them to a tailor.
I'm a pear, the 2000's were a nightmare! Thank god the high waist is back!
Yes because the low or mid rise just fall off of us
I'm an hourglass but I loved the lower rise pants and jeans (as long as they weren't the "ultra low-rise." My waist is normally 8" to 10" smaller than my hip measurements, so I often find when I try on high-waisted pants, I have excess fabric in my waist area.
I have always had a “slim” hourglass. The downside is, as you said, we gain weight in our tummy, arms, face, etc. I felt uncomfortable growing up having curves at a young age, so I’ve gotten in the habit of oversized clothes. But I am trying to embrace it and not be embarrassed by wearing tighter clothes and wearing solid (not overly patterned) colors. I’m also petite in height, so wearing longer clothes (as opposed to a tube top, for example) gives the illusion of length.
Same here girl but since childhood, my parents really put me into fitted clothes so that really helped during adolescence. Try fitted clothes, they are life-changing 😊
Sheena Jeeloll I will try :) thank you :)
Mikah B how sweet! I’m definitely feeling better now that I am wearing slimmer fitting clothing. It does look better than oversized clothes on my body type. Thank you so much!! 🥰
How did you guys get over feeling so sexual?
@@Shri100percent What do you mean?
Fuller curvy "hourglasses" are classified as Cello's ( Yes, I am referring to the string instrument) and we don't follow the same fashion rules of other smaller framed hourglasses. Christina Hendricks from Mad men is an example of a "Cello" Hourglass. Most hourglasses look great in pencil skirts but Cello's look better and more slimming if they wear a tulip skirt. I only discovered the Cello type recently and the fashion guidelines are so much more flattering to my figure.
I know I’m definitely a hourglass I’ve got both the booty and the bust but also the tummy which makes wearing fitted clothes a problem for me as I feel like I look pregnant which I am not. Do you have any tips to help combat this problem also any book recommendations or instagrams one can follow to learn more on how to enhance ones body shape. It would be of great help to me and to others as well. Thank you for your time. It is much appreciated.
I'd be a bass then ;)
I'm a neat hourglass. I'm so happy to finally have pinpointed that because I had too much definition to be a rectangle but I'm definitely not a full hourglass. Thank you
Mariah Tahmisian I feel that! 😭🙌
Me tooo
Omg thank you I finally figured it out 😩
To answer the question in your video : I'm an hourglass ! ;) Sooo easy to find lovely dresses and skirts (I stopped wearing trousers when I was in high school : they didn't fit my silhouette and didn't match my definition of feminity), I actually buy second hand clothes mostly now... Better for both the planet and my wallet ! And thank God it's easy to find real vintage (or not) treasures nowadays !
Another great video, dear Anna ! :)
I am inverted triangle and felt that the section on this body type was too short 😟
Naina patel i agree
True
:(
Check how to dress as a Flamboyant natural it's the same I think (Kibbe body type)
So true
I naturally also have a neat hourglass figure!
But since I’m usually bloated, I’m more of a potato🙄
❤️
I'm an hr glass also and a slice of bread will have me looking pregnant. I try very hard to avoid gluten because of the bloating.
Guys for reals though... I'm an hour glass but I would eat a little bit of something and be so bloated, it is unbelievable 😧
@@mynameiswoman Yeah girl! I especially get bloated after eating rice...
😂😂😂
Lol i feel like that too!
Queen can you please make a video about glasses types for elegant ladies, I don't know how to choose which shapes or types are the best for me. I can't wear contact lenses☹
I tough I was the only one who couldn't wear contacts.
I am in support of this!!!
Yes, I agree! I can't wear contacts either so would love to get Anna's opinion.
Yes I'm hyped!!
Good idea!
Although I have a lean, rectangular body, I find that tucking my shirts or blouses or knotting them, creates a waist illusion. I also love wearing feminine clothing-Tulle, fluffy skirts/dresses. ❤️Love the video!
I have a rectangular body too, but I find it difficult to get cloths that fits, because I am not so .....do you have any idea on what outfit will be great for me??
HOPE OKOCHA Pencil skirts with blouses tucked in, oversized blazers with a poofy skirt right at the knee or slightly above. If you wear a straight dress, wear a belt to extenuate the waistline.
@@Lena2light Thank you💕
You're right. This is so important. Dressing for your body rather than fighting it. I've just started learning about the David Kibbe body type system, and it's completely changed how I look at clothes.
“There is no waist there” 🤣
This was so helpful! I’m a rectangle, and I’ve definitely found that straight lines and waist illusions (patterns, ruching, peplum, etc) are the most flattering. I was always confused when dresses with a belted or defined waist did not look the way I wanted. Thank you for the advice!
So true! Every time I put on a belt on my trousers I look so bulky and not shapely at all. That's why I never wear them. Which is tricky, since I'm very skinny and not many pants fit my waist and hip area nicely.
I have pear body shape, I feel its hard to find an outfit to look good and elegant without looking bulky in lower body (and i have flat chest :') )
Start following Instagram models, TH-camrs, actresses who have your body shape. I also recommend going to Rent the runway and search using your body type.
Me too... I try to make the focus and attention to my waist... As it's the best thing
i am a pear shape too, everything changed when i looked into the kibbe body type system, i found out that i am a theatrical romantic
I think pear shaped bodys are so femenine, they make your waist really visible and that is really attractive ! Also, you can achieve the elegant look with all of the body shapes.
Fancy designers always say that flat chested woman look more elegant, and i think the same
Good luck whoever reads this!
I have this body type too, It took me forever to find what I looked elegant and felt good in. I feel amazing in 'empress waist' dresses (where the waist tuck is right under the bust instead) It emphasizes the waist, makes me look leaner and taller, and curvy in the right way. A V or polo neck to go with that makes it even better.
This is the first video I've watched where the speaker actually tells you how to determine it in concrete terms! Measuring the shoulders, hips and waist and drawing a line from the shoulder to the hips! So helpful!❤❤❤Thank you Anna!
So I’m an inverted triangle , I was almost feeling bad until I saw celebrities I like who look like me. I think I should follow them to copy their style... I need self confidence in this journey and looking up to celebrities I don’t think is a bad idea , thank you Anna I love you 💕
I’m neat hourglass!! After so many years I finally figured out what’s my body type and can start wearing clothes that fit me. What a relief haha. Thank you Anna!!
Anyone notice how unintentionally funny the thumbnail of the video is ?😂 Anna you’re hilarious!
You mentioning that hour Glass shouldn't wear bulky clothes is💯legit!!
No wonder I used to feel extra huge whenever I wear big clothes
I'm an inverted triangle and it has been really frustrating lately with strong shoulders and puffed sleeves being every where. "I like that top but it doesn't look right on me" feels like my new catchphrase when I'm shopping.
Girl I bet peplums would look great on you - sincerely, an envious pear lol
Yeah.. and looking for relatively wide necklines but still sophisticated look..
Pro tip: check out Lisa Blackpink fashion
Check the flamboyant natural body type it's the same I found out a lot of thinks like for example V neck or large necks are better etc.
I love these tips. But lately I am more into the Kibbe body typing. I like that more as it talks more about the overall style and image of your body, your skeleton and flesh.
It is tricky to type yourself, but when you do.. oh boy it's a gamechanger!!
I like the Kibbe system, too. I'm a Soft Classic, which is interesting to achieve with my Winter coloring.
Yes I’m a big fan of the Kibbe body type. Once you get it and figure it out 🙄 I’m a soft classic 👍
Nikster Dasshi It’s also so helpful if you lose or gain weight. I’m a soft classic, but thought I was a thinner apple because I gained a bit of weight around my waist and lost some on my hips.
@@katherinemargeson8082 definitely! I am plus size and a classic. Loud prints, flowy fabrics and ruffles do not suit me at all. Oversized clothing does nothing for me either even though I have a big belly.
Tailored, fitted and sleek pieces suit me the best
I have wanted to figure this out so desperately bit I cannot figure it out!
I'm a true🍎...I don't bother calling myself an oval. Lol! I'm not old (33😕), but I have PCOS and I've carried weight in my belly since I was a teen. I do have some tips for apple shaped ladies: peplum tops are fabulous...empire waists are not. Since we tend to have slimmer hips, choose lower or mid-rise trousers to make the hips appear more defined than they actually are. It may be tempting to go with high-rise, especially as they are so trendy right now, but they will cut you off right in the middle of your largest area....not cute!
And like Anna said, A-line dresses and skirts will help create balance and will show off those slim legs. Good luck ladies😊
Thank you, Jen! I’m a definite apple and it can be tough. Your comments explain why I can’t jump on the high-rise trend. Love the A-line and separates.
@@GhostofMrsMuir1443 Happy to help Carmen!
nah im apple shaped. I wear high waisted mom jeans 24/7 They hide my belly show case that im small in the waist. (Maybe I'm more of a inverted triangle)
@@inderjitkainth7158 You might be an introverted triangle, most apples don't have a defined waist.
I have pcos too, and also gain weight in my stomach area...basically i gain weight in my upper body and my legs stays skinny. Not the best shape Uuggh
I’m a lean column!! 😭😭😭 You’re right, we need feminine clothing more than anyone, and I try to wear a lot of clothes that give the illusion of a waist, as well as a lot of pink. And yes, skinny jeans are my best friend!
Wow, I had gained weight and went from an hourglass to what I thought was an apple. I’ve been dressing for “Apple” but I was just an hourglass with a little extra sand in the middle!
I was told that a lot of my clothes are unflattering and should be more fitted and it didn’t make sense to me until now. Love you Anna! You always explain things in a way that makes sense to me. 💡 🤯

Laly Windland - I’m the same. Weight goes to bust, belly and backside. I gained weight after being prescribed medication and after two pregnancies and c sections was left with a “mom
belly”. I still have a defined waist though.
I’ll give shapewear another go! I didn’t love the effect on me last time (somehow left my waist less defined and made me look like a thick sausage!) but I’ll try again. Thanks for the tip!
I have always been a definite pear, regardless of weight fluctuations. Things got tricky after I had kids, and got the dreaded "mom belly." Now I'm a pear that has to avoid all empress waist garments, as they emphasize not only my small waist higher up, but the belly bulge right under it.
I thought I was an hourglass, and my measurements just confirmed it 😊 Long ago I realized that dresses or skirts that hit at my waist are the most flattering. I also realized years ago that even my coats are more flattering if they have a belt or structured waist, and a more tailored fit in general. Good info!
I'm in love with your channel!! I'm a pear shape and I've always struggled trying to hide my hips they make the illusion that I'm bigger than I already am (I'm L-XL pants and S-M shirts) it would be amazing that you do a video per each body shape, like going deeper with each one and how to make them look classy elegant!! it would be amazing!! thank you for your amazing content! I'm in love!!
Pear shape here and I struggle finding dresses that fit me. I always tend to buy two pieces (skirt and blouses). Finding a pair of Jeans or trousers is a nightmare.
This is actually very in depth. Not just for elegant clothing, but for regular clothing as well. While I’m young and I don’t feel like it’s appropriate for me to dress as a affluent woman while I’m a teenager, I will be taking notes of these for when I’m older. And I’m also glad you brought up the different types of hourglass body shapes. I never thought that there were 2 types, and I always thought that I was a pear or hourglass, but now I can see that I’m a more neat hourglass shape, so thank you so much!
I’m an inverted triangle, and it just clicked that this is why I probably do not like to wear necklaces and I love white jeans and trousers. To my fellow inverted triangles, am I the only one who thinks halter tops look amazing on us? X
Anna you look gorgeous in white!!!
I've been known from my peers and my family as an hourglass-shaped girl. I've never liked tight-on-the-body type of clothes. But since two years ago when the bridesmaids and my sister (the bride) we went dress shopping; they all screamed of joy and told me I should wear dresses like that one 😊. I'm so shy, the other people in the store stared at me, okay......
I really enjoyed your video Anna. Thank you for sharing and letting us know that it's okay to be your feminine self.
Thank you, Anna! I transitioned 20 years ago from male to female, so inverted triangle here.
I learned through trial and error many things you point out here, and also learned some new things. It's almost a science learning to place the emphasis on my lower body. Just discovered your channel, and am benefiting from your advice.
Best wishes in this new beautiful stage of your life! Love!
the last example is a perfect example of what inverted triangles should never wear--spaghetti strap outfits--so unflattering to this body shape. I am inverted triangle and knew a lot of these tips already to balance out the look of my body shape. great video. thanks
First timer here! I must say that I was instantly impressed by the simplicity of your style, delivery, and humor. The name of the channel caught my eye too. Instant subscriber. And thank you for mentioning what I have been trying to tell my mother for I don't know how long that she needs to buy more tunic dresses for her oval body type. By the way, I'm a neat hourglass. 😊
I am a curvey hourglass with a nipped in waist. I love pencil skirts!
I am also an artist, who did a lot of life drawing (drawing nudes) through University. We had many different size and shape models come in and model for us.
Truly, I found so much beauty in all of them, the body is amazing when you take time to study it ❤️
Don't forget- you have a beautiful body 😍
I am a rectangle with a long waist. Seperates and layering are key. Thank you for saying that belts can highlight the lack of waist, I've always felt that way but typical style advice says otherwise. Skinnies with a heel seem to help to balance the long torso.
As define hourglass type, I was struggling so much with low waisted jeans back in the time. I felt that there is something wrong with me and I always felt like I am too fat. So sad to not know how to dress accordingly to your body shape ;( great video
I think I'm in between a pear and an hourglass. My shoulders are same as my hips, my waist is smaller than hips by about 25 cm, but my bust is just slightly (like 15 cm) bigger than my waist. And I gain weight on lower belly and thighs. Never liked low rise pants on myself, neither do I like shapeless clothes
Where's my hourglass squad at??
I am using your videos selectively for inspiration in creating a syllabus to teach my 6yr old baby girl how to carry herself with confidence, grace and elegance as I believe all females should embrace their God given femininity💓 Thank you Anna for your channel and empowering content.
First off, you look fabulous. Perfect hair, no jewelry and subtle makeup. You have come a long way. This is a great video. Good job.
So ready for this. Food, some fashion inspo. I'm here for it 💜
Anna, You look gorgeous in white. Love the cut of this blouse. Shows your neck beautifully.
I’m definitely a rectangle and your recommendations are dead on!!! I always look the best when wearing straight lines and peplum style jackets 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm a slim hourglass, and I completely agree with your advice. We have many things in common, I'm a new subscriber and just wanted to let you know you're beautiful and I'm so happy to see women like yourself, being true elegant ladies. Well done and keep going ❤️
Ana, me and my mother love to watch your videos. Of course we have a basic understanding for elegance, but you seem to have so many amazing tips to share. Love your videos as always my love.
Best you tubers on wardrobe and fashion so far... Daria Andronescu, Justine Leconte and Alexa Chung. Trinny makeover and Marie - Anne for women over 40 are wonderful. Better watch Canadian or French youtubers, US American have not the sense for elegance. They mostly are only sexy in a vulgar way.
I love your content! As a person who loves and lived conservatively, your content encourage me to feel empowered with the lifestyle that I’ve been choosing ❤️✨
Hello Anna, Thank you for this video. It’s the first video I’ve seen that hasn’t just copied everyone else’s advice on pear/triangle shapes. You’ve actually given me different and excellent advice to proceed further with updating my wardrobe. I love watching your videos, and one day I would love to do your course. May I please finish with adding a request for a future video: cruelty free/ethical high end brands you suggest? Thank you again for the brilliant content and I will continue to be a loyal subscriber. Thank you again! - Shannon, Australia
This was so detailed in your suggestions. Honestly, priceless information! Thank you x
Anna, I love when you talk about style and how to look more beautiful. You are my FAVORITE!
Thanks for sharing! 😉
I always thought I was a triangle but it turns out that I'm actually a full hourglass! That's why I feel so good wearing fitted clothing! Thank you for this video, I am so happy that I know exactly what to buy now!
I would love another video on a long neck vs a short neck vs wide neck and short torso vs long torso. I think these are huge factors in body shape as well. I always love the scarf around the neck tip! I love it but my neck is shorter so I never know what to do. Thank you, Anna!! Hopefully you do another video focusing on these!!! Xoxo
It is as if the overall message is: “If you have an hourglass figure, embrace yourself!! Everyone else, hide the fact that you don't!!” And so I do not agree. Everyone is beautiful in their own way !!
Paula Johansen Juul Thank you! I have liked her videos in the past, but this just seems so discriminatory against other body types. Everyone is beautiful, and I feel like she doesn’t have a lot of respect for high fashion and many body types
Well, that’s the nature, the hourglass figure is the most desirable (showing fertility, youth etc)
Unfortunately, some physical features are more desirable than others, denying it is like saying that acne or crappy hairs are beautiful.
True
It's all about creating balance and looking gorgeous. It's the silhouette and the overall appearance. She literally says 'proportional'. Don't get too flustered about it.
@@anezkakvasnickova9554 that is not right. 8% have an hourglass figure. Look it up. If it was the most fertile and fittest shape for women dont you think more would have it? It is just a way to get power over women by making a little fraction more desirable based on there body type. When 92% does not have an hourglass figure other body types is probably more fertile and overall healthier.
Very useful information! My body type is hourglass. I often wear clothes that hide my waist line and also because I'm tall and have wide shoulders, I'm always looked bulky.
Yay! Dropping everything to watch this NOW! I’m so excited to learn and grow from this video!
Me too , is hard to find body type😭
The kibbe body types was a game changer for me. It’s a much more in depth clasification of the body types. I’m an hour glass figure but in kinne I’m theatrical romantic and it’s so much more acurate. 😘
I don't get why we need to try to "camouflage" our body types to look a certain way. I am a reversed triangle (even tho I do have quite wide hips), and I absolutely love my clavicule, I've been told that it's gorgeous. I always dress to highlight this part of my body.
i guess for me--beauty is harmony-and preportion-balance---cave men liked that waiste to hip ratio that shows fertility,,,,,,,beauty to me is smoke and mirrors-when marilyn got ready it took her 3 hours......💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💜💜💜💜💜💙💙🧡
I didn’t Agree with that one. Pear shape is ideal to me. Maybe it’s a culture difference idk. A flat stomach & bigger hips don’t need to be hidden & it attracts men.
I don’t think it’s about hiding anything but looking the best in your clothes. I’m a curvy hour glass and I recently found out I should be wearing high waste and they truly make my figure look much better. It’s about making what you have look great not hiding
I'm so glad you presented this video, as this is my area where I struggle with the most.
Greetings from South Africa
That's one of the most useful videos! Thank you Anna❤️❤️❤️
I'm an hour glass I always use oversized dress because I didn't know what to wear, thank you so much for the video! I have shopping to do.
Dearest Anna,
I really enjoy your video and your teaching. To be completely honest, I do not entirely agree with you but you always present lot of things that is applicable for me (and I do believe for other women as well!)
Coming from southeast asian middle/working-class family background and decided to move alone to Europe to catch my dream in media and film business has made me have to work twice harder than the locals.
When I finally got my chance and put my baby steps in that industry, I followed your advises because I am not only facing people in the biz with different language and culture but also the affluent people. I learn how to communicate better, to stand up for myself in a classy way, win arguments, basically just knowing the proper ways to interact with people and respect them, have given me chances to pursue more opportunities. I am still working to enhance my career path, but knowing even a bit of information has helped me a lot! I now have clearer direction partly because of you :)
Thank you very much! Keep inspiring lots of women :)
Greetings from Germany!
This really helps so much. My body seems to be a mix because I do have the neat hourglass waist, but my hips are a bit narrow as well as my shoulders.
when she says “it really just defines somebody as being a circle” .. 😂😂
Thanks a lot for this video. For a person like me that never paid a lot if attention to body shape, and didn't buy clothes accordingly, this has been extremely informative, you've explained it so well. I'll now go and check myself out even though I think I already have an idea of what I could be. Thankyou! X
I'm an oval 😥😥😥 I've lost almost 100 pounds in the past two years so my waist is more defined, but I still carry weight there. Even when I was 120 pounds I still hated my waistline. Anyway, thanks Anna for the advice! A-line dresses it is 😍
Im an inverted triangle. Im ordering my palazzos asap. Great tips!!!
I am definitely a circle. I am a plus-size woman, in mid- 30s with hormonal issues. So sadly all of my bulk is in my stomach. Not to mention being tall and big framed as well. Makes it hard to feel feminine. I dressed oversized for years trying to hide it. I have recently started transitioning my wardrobe to a line dressesI I have found tunics or anything empire or smocked waisted works as well. I stumbled across you and am absolutely loving your videos! There just might be some hope for me yet! Thank you for your content. It is very refreshing!
Thank you Anna for this video, so helpful. Looking forward to more like this!
Much gratitude as always Anna, you’re an etiquette guru working with energy and shining your Light for other women on the path. You’ve help me shift so much negative energy about myself, that sometimes made me uncomfortable so I knew it was the right way to go. The more I step outside of my comfort zone, the more confident I become. My current situation is extremely luxurious compared to 2 years ago. Blessings and gratitude 🙏 soul sister. Ps. I would rather not live through another puffed sleeve fashion trend. It hasn’t looked nice on a woman since the 19th century.😀 I’m just saying
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this video 💕
You are 100% right in everything that you said. I have a hourglass figure while being skinny. And fitted clothes and high-waisted pants looks super good on me while the other type of clothing does not compliment my body shape.
Thank you so much ❤️
Your content just gets better and better. Thank you so much for your generous sharing of information...
Here I was living my life as an apple when I’m an hourglass shape! Thank you Anna for this clarity and advice. ❤️
Ashanti Williams me too!
ME too! I thought I was an apple but I don’t have skinny legs. When I put something fitted on I could see my true shape!
I'm an O shape... Hard to "hide" this mid area, and I tended to try to create a waist illusion with blazers, belts... But found something strange... And I gave birth 8 months ago, it doesn't help...
But thank you for this advices! You're such an example as an elegant lady 🙏

I'm an hourglass that puts on weight only on the belly, breasts and butt. I look 4 months pregnant although I have never been pregnant. Shapewear helps me, empire-waisted gowns and everything that hides my belly and brings attention to my breasts and butt. A-line dresses also help me. I think what helps me could help you too, especially if you are tall, too, like me. Good luck!
Love your videos Ana. Please keep them coming. Thank you for everything❤
Anna, while In joying this program, I must say your skin look’s absolutely beautiful, so clean , so fresh, so young.
YAY! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US AND POSTING THIS VIDEO😘
Anna Bey, low rise jeans are a nightmare for an hourglass figure! These types of videos are so helpful. Please keep them coming.❤❤❤
Beeen theeere too, especially in my teens when Britney Spears was hot! Never ever will wear them again. The mid rise, dark wash superskinny Levis are the onyl pair of jeans I wear.
Answering your question, I am an hourglass shape. It is a little easier to dress. For the longest time I thought I was maybe pear shaped until I actually measured my body. So it really does help if you know for sure what shape you are.Thank you for doing this video!!
I love you diversity you include in your videos!! Also you look beautiful as always and are giving great advice! Thank you!!!!
Really sound definitions. Kudos and thank you.
I have inverted triangle body shape ❤
I'm loving this channel and today I went shopping with some suggestions in mind. Of course I don't have Anna's budget but it doesn't mean I can't look my best with what I've got. My aim isn't to attract anyone but to feel more positive about myself. Thank you Anna!
I am a typical hourglass while my bff is a rectangle, which explains a lot why the same styling does not work for her as me. We have been worried for this years and finally she gave up, assuming that rectangle could only wear things that are sporty or more casual. Therefore, really happy for this video, I would definitely get her to try items you mentioned!
