An athletic female body shape is typically defined by equal or balanced proportions across the bust, waist, and hips, with a naturally toned and streamlined silhouette. Often referred to as a "rectangle" or straight body shape, this figure is characterised by a lean, sculpted appearance. Shoulders may be slightly broader, complementing the balanced hip line, and the overall look is sleek and elegant. At Lindsey Brown Resort Wear, we design with all body shapes in mind, and our collections are perfect for enhancing your frame. We have also created size guides to decide which size if right for you in Lindsey Brown resort wear.
Styles we suggest : For this silhouette, garments that create the illusion of curves or add soft movement are especially flattering. Our curved hemlines, tiered floaty dresses, and off-shoulder styles gently add volume and shape, while maintaining a lightweight, elegant drape that flatters the figure without overwhelming it. Belted waists, asymmetric cuts, and voluminous sleeves can also bring softness and dimension, helping to define the waist and create a more contoured silhouette. Whether you're relaxing poolside or attending a sunset dinner, Lindsey Brown's resort wear ensures that athletic body shapes are both celebrated and effortlessly styled in chic, timeless pieces that enhance confidence and femininity.
