What is the Skittle Body Shape?

The skittle body shape is characterized by a long slim upper body which gets wider at the middle. This is not the same as the classic Pear shape as this is accompanied by a bigger bottom and saddlebags because despite their long legs, Skittles carry much more of their weight around the thighs which you’ve probably gone to great lengths to cover up over the years.

Focus on pulling attention away from the unflattering parts instead of simply covering them up.
