There are two versions of this figure, one being lean and straight and the other being fuller but nonetheless straight!This body shape doesn’t have a lot of curves, and so the aim in dressing this shape is to create the illusion of curves, by defining the waist and creating curves on the bottom or top.This body type will look amazing in body-con mini skirts, which will emphasize any curves you do have, and show off your flat stomach and slim legs. .
