    Things like puff sleeves and shoulder pads are really great if you specifically want to add volume to your shoulders. Just make sure that you also do something to accentuate the thinnest part of your waist at the same time.

    High-waisted jeans and bootleg jeans are great for adding definition and creating a curvy feminine frame. A-line skirts and dresses also work really well.

    A dress with an A line, ruffles, circle or bubble skirt will work well. If the dress does not pinch in at the waist, add a belt. Since rectangles generally have smaller busts, you have a lot of options with the upper body. Try a strapless dress if you want to show off more skin or chose high necklines, which can add to your upper body.
