Why I don't use the term "body types"

This might surprise you, but I avoid using the term body type. That's why I've never written posts about it in 14 years. 

I never discuss with my clients their geometrical shapes either. First of all, we are not flat figures. Second, who wants to be a rectangle? 

What I do is analyze my clients' silhouettes and proportions. I listen to what they want to enhance or camouflage. Then, based on their style and image goals, I advise them on what and how they could wear their clothes. As a personal stylist, my goal is to boost your confidence.

I only use expressions regarding body types with my students. As professionals, we need to learn them. Then, they can decide whether or not to use them with their clients.
