THE BANANA
Bananas are as straight as a ruler. Although some are slim and trim, bananas can be thick all over. Irrespective of their sizes, women with this body type are straight up and down. A banana’s shoulders, bust, waist, and hips are relatively the same width.

Advice for Bananas:

• DO wear fabrics with large prints, ruffles, and detailing to give the illusion of curves.

• DO define your waist with a belted dress or flared skirt.

• DO wear trendy knee-high boots that enhance the shape of your legs.

• DON’T wear high-waisted jeans, skirts, or shorts. They will make you look more undefined.
