Types of Body Shapes

The banana shaped body is a one of several different body types. Ask yourself a single question to find out if, like Cameron Diaz, you have a column or rectangle body shape.

Hourglass (triangles opposing, facing inwards) This body shape (typically presented as the "ideal") describes a person with hip and bust measurements nearly equal in size, with a narrower waist measurement.

Pear, Spoon, or Bell (triangle upward) Pear-shaped women's hip measurements are greater than their bust measurements. Hourglass Shape (triangles opposing, facing in) Here, the hip and bust are almost of equal size, with a narrow waist.
