The shape is very much similar to the hourglass shape, but for the waist-line which is less defined.
This body-shape lies close to a boyish shape. The problem area for women who have rectangle body shape is their waistline. They need to create an illusion of a well-defined waistline.
They can also get closer to the hourglass shape by doing so.
If this is your body type then select clothes that can draw attention towards your waist. By doing so you will make it appear narrower than the shoulders and hips. The waist will appear more defined. This way you can also add curves to your body.
