You can do body shape diagnosis yourself — once you know where to look
You can diagnose your body shape yourself by checking three points: your collarbone, body volume and where you gain weight. If your result keeps changing, you are simply looking in different places; photograph yourself in natural light, in underwear, and it settles.

FAQ: Diagnose
- Can I do body shape diagnosis myself?
- Yes. Three points — collarbone, body volume and weight gain — show your leaning. If two or more point to a different type, you may be a “mix”; the 12-type diagnosis, which adds color, will make it clearer.
- Why does my result change every time?
- Because the conditions change every time. Photograph yourself, in natural light, in underwear, and most people get a stable result. In my fittings, 30–40% of clients are mixed types, which is perfectly normal.
- Is an online diagnosis enough?
- For choosing the shape of your clothes, yes. An in-person session is worth it when your frame spans two types and photos are hard to read, or when you want your exact personal color season.
