The short version

By using Bodytypes, you’re agreeing to the following. It’s short on purpose.

What this site is

Bodytypes is an informational style guide. The quiz result and every wardrobe, makeup, and hair guide on this site are style suggestions based on the Image Identity framework — not professional styling services, and not medical, health, or diet advice of any kind. Nothing here should be read as instructions about your body’s health or worth.

Every type is the goal

All thirteen types are treated as equally valid on this site. None is presented as better, thinner, more attractive, or more “correct” than another — the framework describes line, not value. If you ever read a page here differently, that page has failed its own brief.

Original content, ours to protect

The writing, layout, and design on this site are original work and belong to Bodytypes. You’re welcome to link to any page. Reproducing full pages elsewhere without permission isn’t.

No guarantees

We work to keep this guide accurate and useful, but style is subjective and results from a self-assessment quiz are a starting point, not a verdict. Use your own judgment alongside it.

Unofficial guide inspired by the Image Identity system in David Kibbe’s Metamorphosis (1987). Body types describe line, not worth — every type is the goal, not a consolation prize.
