Skeletal Analysis (WOO STYLE PROFILE) | Identifying the 3 Types + Hybrids

WOO STYLE PROFILE is a free body type analysis tool provided by WooStore. By answering 10 questions in about 1 minute, you can classify your body type into one of three categories: "Straight," "Wave," or "Natural," or a "Hybrid" that falls in between. This helps you understand which clothing silhouettes and fabric types suit you best. No registration is required, and you can see your results immediately.

What you learn from body type analysis

Body type analysis is a concept that helps you understand which clothing silhouettes and materials are likely to suit you, based on your natural body balance (bone structure, muscle distribution, and fat distribution). WOO STYLE PROFILE provides the following information for each diagnosis result:

• Flattering silhouettes (e.g., just the right size, or relaxed fit)
• Compatible materials and designs (e.g., crisp fabrics, or soft fabrics)
• Key styling points and balances to avoid
• Recommended items for your type

Three basic types and hybrid types

Straight Body Type — "Simple and refined. Elevate your natural physique."

The Straight body type has a moderate thickness and three-dimensional feel to the body, with a well-balanced overall silhouette. By avoiding excessive embellishments and opting for high-quality materials and clean silhouettes, your inherent presence will stand out. The basic styling rule is to choose well-fitted clothes that don't cling too much to the body. I-line silhouettes that emphasize vertical lines, set-in sleeves that fit at the shoulder, and straight pants that keep the waist area neat tend to be flattering. Conversely, thin materials that cling to the body or styles with multiple layers of embellishments can make the upper body appear bulky. When layering, keep the number of colors to a minimum and create vertical lines for a sophisticated look.

Wave Body Type — "Light and supple. Turn delicate balance into charm."

The Wave body type has a sleek upper body and an overall soft, gentle silhouette. The center of gravity can tend to appear slightly lower, so light and supple materials naturally blend in. For styling, the key is to keep the upper body compact and make the waistline appear slightly higher. Shorter tops, high-waisted bottoms, and flare lines that widen towards the hem tend to be flattering. Conversely, thick materials or overly large silhouettes can make the clothing appear too dominant. If choosing an oversized item, rolling up the sleeves or tucking in only the front can help create a more balanced look by adding a compact element somewhere.

Natural Body Type — "Effortless and cool. Transform your bone structure into style."

The Natural body type is characterized by a prominent bone and joint framework, creating a stylish aura. Silhouettes that drape the body and styles that highlight the texture of materials naturally suit this type. For styling, the key is to allow for some space between the body and the clothing. Relaxed oversized fits, effortless drop shoulders, wide pants, and long-length bottoms tend to be flattering. Conversely, small, tight clothing or styles made solely of thin, delicate materials can make the bone structure appear too prominent. Pairing with wide bottoms or longer outerwear, and incorporating some looseness somewhere in the overall look, will create a well-balanced finish.

Hybrid Body Type — "Not confined to one. Freely wear multiple charms."

The Hybrid body type has a balanced combination of features from two or more of the Wave, Straight, and Natural types. Its greatest appeal is the ability to enjoy a wide range of styles by combining different materials and silhouettes, rather than being limited to a single category. The key is not to aim for an overall middle ground, but to adjust based on the most prominent features you have. If you have a three-dimensional upper body, opt for fitted items like a Straight type. If your center of gravity tends to appear lower, raise your waistline like a Wave type. If your bones and joints are prominent, incorporate moderate looseness like a Natural type. This will help you find your unique balance.

How the diagnosis works

WOO STYLE PROFILE calculates scores for how closely you match Straight, Wave, and Natural types based on your answers to 10 questions about your body shape and preferences. If you clearly lean towards one type, that type will be displayed as your result. If the tendencies for multiple types are very close, a Hybrid type will be displayed. The entire process takes about 1 minute, and all questions are multiple-choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will getting a body type analysis restrict the clothes I can wear?

No, it will not restrict them. Body type analysis is a guide to help you understand your body's balance and wear your favorite clothes more attractively. Even items you might find challenging can be enjoyed in your own way by adjusting the length, balance, material, or size.

How long does the diagnosis take?

There are 10 multiple-choice questions, so it takes about 1 minute to complete.

What is a Hybrid body type?

This is a fourth classification given when you have characteristics of multiple types (Straight, Wave, or Natural) that are very close to each other. Since you are not limited to one type, it's easier to expand your styling options to suit different occasions and moods.

Is the diagnosis free?

Yes, it's free to use. No membership registration is required.
