With the vast amount of inventory that Zara maintains at any given time, it should come as no surprise that there's a slew of options for every body type. The tricky part is knowing what your body type is and what flatters it best. Luckily, we've covered this very subject in the past and used this handy body type guide to sift through the hundreds of items that Zara currently has in stock in search of the most flattering, stylish pieces for each of the four major body types: triangle, rectangle, hourglass, and inverted triangle. We've also sprinkled in a few tips along the way that should help you when searching for future Zara purchases on your own.

You're a triangle if your hips are more than 5% bigger than your shoulders or bust. This body type is also known as pear. Find out how to do the maths here.
Our Triangle Picks:
Opt for outerwear that has volume and hits below the widest part of your hips for a slimming effect.
An empire-waist dress accentuates your figure right where you need it to.
Puffed, ruffled sleeves draw the eye up and away from the hips.
RECTANGLE
You're a rectangle if your waist is less than 25% smaller than your shoulder or bust, and your shoulder, bust, and hip measurements are within 5% of each other. Find out how to do the maths here.
Our Rectangle Picks:
