10 / 10

You're an... Ectomorph!

Congrats on completing the 'What's your true body type?' quiz! Friend, you're an ectomorph. You're naturally slender with a long, lean frame. It'd take a lot of Kit Kat bars for you to gain a pound – you can eat just about anything while maintaining your current weight.

Your only hold up? During strength training, ectomorphs produce a low level of myogenin, which limits their capacity to build muscle mass. This means you might have to train harder than a mesomorph or endomorph to see the same results 💕💪

When it comes to fashion, ectomorph men should stick to slim-fitting suits with wide collars to offset their slim hips. Women can try patterned shirts, skinny jeans, and long flowing dresses.

How to shop for clothes that compliment your shape...

1) Make a Mood Board

Before you hit the shops to find the perfect outfit for your body type, spend some time searching for inspiration. If you're stuck for ideas, check out what trendsetters with similar frames are wearing. Save any images that speak to you on Pinterest, Instagram, or whatever Internet hotspot you frequent and make a mood board. This'll narrow down your style goals and make picking out a new piece of clothing way simpler!

2) Know Where to Save and Spend

Now that you've got a better grasp on what you're looking for, take stock of your savings and decide how much you can afford to spend on a fresh look. If you're considering buying an item for a special occasion (a.k.a. you won't wear it more than once or twice), try to keep it inexpensive. Spend the majority of your budget on everyday staples, like a tailored white blouse or pair of dark wash jeans.

3) Try Before You Buy

Friend, those fitting rooms are there for a reason! If you're investing your hard-earned cash in a new item, you want to make sure it looks great on the hanger AND on your body. This means that *if you can* shop in-person. While online shopping might seem time-effective and stress-free, it's hard to get a sense of how the clothes move and feel on your skin. Plus all those photos with professional models and lighting can be pretty misleading...

You're a... Mesomorph!

Congrats on completing the 'What's your true body type?' quiz! Friend, you're a mesomorph. You're naturally athletic with an average bone structure. You're quick to gain weight but also quick to lose it!

Your only holdup? Without a regular workout routine, you might find it difficult to maintain your current size. For mesomorphs, it's all about balance, so try to work and play in equal parts...

When it comes to fashion, mesomorph bodies can be a bit difficult to dress. Men should look for jackets with fitted shoulders and wide collars. Women mesomorphs often have hourglass frames, which are best accentuated with crop tops, high-waisted jeans, and wrap-dresses.

You're an... Endomorph!

Congrats on completing the 'What's your true body type?' quiz! Friend, you're an endomorph. You're curvy with a large frame, though you may be a bit on the shorter side.

Your only hold-up? You likely gain weight easily and struggle to exercise it off. Without a balanced diet and a regular workout regime, your weight could be hard to control.

When it comes to fashion, endomorph men are best suited for solid colors and narrow-collared suits. For women, avoid drawing attention to the waistline by choosing flowing silhouettes and a-line dresses.
