About This Quiz

Finding the right clothes that fit your body type can be really difficult. Most people think it's just pants that are the hardest, but tops can be, too. Maybe the sleeves are too tight but the shirt fits everywhere else. It can be too short, too long, too strappy or too loose. Who knew shopping for clothes could be this hard? 

There are ways around it, though. It can be helpful to get your clothes tailored once you buy them, but that can be a really pricey option. Another option is figuring out what exactly your body type is and then learning the cuts that work best for you. You'll still have to actually find those tops, but at least you'll know what you're looking for.

But how do you go about finding out what tops look best on your body type? Maybe you don't have just one body type, or maybe you don't love wearing the clothes that other quizzes have recommended. We get it. 

All this quiz will do is tell you which top style will bring out the best features of your body and make you feel your best. Want to know what that is? Take the quiz now!
