This post actually opens the body shape series, starting with the rectangular one. If you're unsure about yours, I suggest you to read here and then return to the article which interests you the most according to your physique. Well, are you ready? :D
INTRODUCTION
The rectangular kind of body is distinguished by delicate shapes and especially by the slightly accentuated waistline, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage: in the first case, the woman with this type of build can wear almost everything with a few small hacks to enhance the right points. She will never be gross if she wants to hazard a shorter skirt or a more audacious neckline; on the other hand, many people who fall into this category, are demoralized by the lack of curves in their body, but this can be remedied!
Making a general overview, we can say one thing: the main purpose we have to achieve is to create movement because it's what is missing in the rectangular body shape. Of course, it's also important to form the waistline. Greenlight, then, to games of colour, asymmetrical clothes and, above all, stratification, which not all types of shape can bear!
ASYMMETRIC DRESS

EMPIRE STYLE DRESS

It's true, the empire style dress doesn't enhance the waistline, but it hides it, which it's fine too! Be careful only to choose the right size, otherwise the décolleté will be loose-fitting.
HOURGLASS DRESS
The hourglass dress is the one for you if you don't want to hide the waistline but enhance it.
PENCIL DRESS

The pencil dress, among the straight clothes which fit well the rectangular shape, is the best choice! It gently accompanies the body forms, making the figure harmonious.
A-LINE DRESS

TOPS

Talking about tops, it's practically allowed everything which creates movement. The coloured ones, both soft and gaudy, are fine - just pay attention to dark shades: they tend to streamline - as for applications or flounces; shortly, all you like is perfect! Two things to remember: absolutely not to oversized clothing and too stiff fabrics! They would tend to diminish the figure.
SKIRT

Our sole purpose when we create an outfit suitable for a woman with a rectangular body shape is to create volumes. Even regarding the skirt, the principle is the same: the A-line, balloon, sheath ones and, of course, all those enriched with flounces, folds and so on, are good. The only point to care about is to not create too much disproportion with the upper part of the body.
PANTS

The rectangular shape is perfect with practically all kind of pants if you choose the right size! The type which is probably better to avoid is the tight, dark one: it makes the leg even more slender. Just a note: shorts suit this kind of body divinely!
OVERCOAT

The best coats are definitely the waisted types, like a trench or three-quarter ones, but also cloaks and short jackets are ok.
To recap:
- Create movement
- Choose the appropriate sizes
- Go with patterns, stripes, rouches and flounces
- Play with fabrics: lace, velvet and so on
- Be careful to not make too much disproportion between upper and lower body
- Layers
- You can also indulge yourself with accessories to form more shapes games!
