Women are no longer just apples and pears and most men want to be a parsnip, according to a new body-shape guide.
The manual reveals the modern-day female form has evolved into a fruit cocktail of silhouettes, while men’s changing contours inspire a whole vegetable patch of comparisons.
The parsnip body shape is illustrated by the wide shoulders, developed chest muscles and lithe hips of famous physiques belonging to Thor star Chris Hemsworth, Tom Daley, Hugh Jackman and David Beckham.
Leeks, such as comedian Russell Brand, are identified by their slimmer shoulders, hips and long legs. Vince Vaughn is a typical aubergine and Eamonn Holmes is a beetroot.
High street chain Debenhams created what it claims is Britain’s ‘inclusive shaping guide’ for men and women after research claimed 86 per cent of customers felt confused about how to dress to their shape.
The guide will be used at the chain’s flagship Oxford Street store in London, which launches this week.
New fruit entrants for women’s body shapes include the double cherry depicting curvy bust and hips with a small waist, like reality star Kim Kardashian and domestic goddess Nigella Lawson
Boyish rhubarbs will have slim hips and small busts like the Duchess of Cambridge and model Cara Delevingne.
Nearly half of people surveyed also said they found identifying styles that suited them ‘extremely difficult’ and 43 per cent admitted to being in a ‘fashion-rut’.
