Shop Black Friday Sales for Rectangle Body Type
Welcome to Wednesday and the 3rd installment of our Black Friday Series. Our annual “Shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale by Personal Style Key Words” is so wildly popular, we decided to try something different this Black Friday.
We’re organizing Black Friday Deals by Body Type to simplify your life, streamline your shopping and bring a spark of joy to your week. Here’s what you need to know.
Shop Black Friday Deals by Body Type- Here’s Why
You can identify your body type on the Poplin Style website. As a personal stylist for women based in Seattle, I often say, you don’t need to change your body, just change your clothes. That’s right, when you understand how to dress your frame, you’ll feel better in your clothes, building confidence, making you actually look better AND leaving more space in your brain to think about things besides worrying about how you look.
It’s about shape, not size. The strategy to dress a particular body type is the same no matter the size. So, whether you are a size 2 or a 22, focus on your body type.
There will be pieces that work for multiple body types. So, dive into every list and see what speaks to you. The Poplin Pinterest Boards are super helpful for inspiration, too.
Here’s What You Need to Know About Black Friday Deals
Some brands and retailers have started offering Black Friday discounts. Others will wait until Friday. We can’t know for sure who will offer what (although we do have a sneak peek on some sites). This means that these lists are intended to get your shopping cart ready. That’s why we are starting on Monday. You’re busy. You’ve got things. This gives you some time to go through the lists and figure out what speaks to you.
Not sure how to style items? We’ve organized the lists by outfits to help it all make sense.
Let’s talk about Affiliate Marketing, Shall We?
In modern times, affiliate marketing rules the world. What does it mean? Affiliate marketing means that when you click through a link on the Poplin site and head over to a retailer’s site, you are following the Poplin affiliate link. If you choose to buy items(s) IN THE SAME SESSION, Poplin may receive a commission on your purchase at no additional cost to you.
This commission is based on your entire purchase during the session, not on just one item. Believe it.
Does it matter? It absolutely does. When you click on affiliate links, the revenue makes it possible for me to spend time creating meaty blog posts for you. When affiiliate marking doesn’t pan out, it makes more business sense to devote a higher amount of time to individual client work. Affiliate marketing allows me to have fun making lists and helping folks who haven’t paid Poplin directly.
Wait a minute….. Seriously, does it matter?
It sure does. At this point, brands and retailers build in the cost of paying for affiliate marketing regardless of whether you click on affiliate links. So, whenever you are visiting a website thanks to a blogger or even an article in a magazine, it’s highly likely there was an affilate link. If you don’t use them, you don’t save money. The corporations just get to keep more.

Personal Stylist Picks: Shop Black Friday Sales for your Rectangle Body Type
Oh my goodness! I’m loosing my mind about all the unique pieces on this list. Few things bring me as much joy as pieces that feel like they were made just for me- or just for you. As with all the other posts in this series, I’ve created outfits to give you guidance on styling. But, you can also feel free to just purchase one off items. After all, each one is flattering for your shape. Here we go!
If your style is edgy, elevated, one of a kind, confident AND you are ready for a night out, look no further than this jaw dropping combination.
Whether you are heading to work, the office or a trip to Paris, this look is comfortable, polished and totally on point.
Show off your shape and give the impression that you have more curves with this flattering silhouette.
Who wants to roll out of bed, toss on an outfit and look AMAZING? You do. Here’s how.
Casual doesn’t need to be boring. Invest in pieces that make you feel like yourself. If you find Free People, Madewell and the like speak to you, this outfit is just right.
Looking for a timeless ensemble that’s just right for more formal occasions, evening weddings, work dinners and the endless list of random events that make prepping stressful? Try this look. And don’t worry about the weather. Closed toed shoes and a satin trench mean this can work year-round.
Red and pink together is one of my favorite combos. It’s not for the shy fashionista. Embrace your look with this luxurious collection that keeps you cozy, covered and still catches the eye. And no need to tone it down with black shoes. Go full force with an animal print. After all, those are neutrals, too.
These shoes! This bag! This outfit! I don’t know where to start. If you love vintage inspired pieces, dive into the accessories and you’ll never look back. Monochromatic looks elongate you and make you feel slimmer, too. White and winter white show confidence. Really, you can’t go wrong with this look.
Anthro continues to make this dress in various fabrics each season and it’s a win for all of us. I’ve already got it in two colors. This silhouette is a dream for your rectangle shaped figure. If you happen to also carry weight in your stomach, you won’t believe the magical impact this dress has on that issue.
Things are much more casual than they were pre-COVID. And this is tough for so many of my clients. Don’t be afraid to balance polished, put together pieces with options that are more casual for a more effortless look without sacrificing style. This is how you do it.
Ready to chat about your handbag? Buying this one is step one on your journey. Now, pair it with this ultra flattering dress and show stopping boots and you’ll wonder how you lived without this look.
I’m a super fan of bold rings and this cocktail ring is a keeper, for sure. Try it with this 70’s inspired casual look to up your game whatever the occasion and if you are concerned that a green handbag is impractical, think again. Green is a neutral. After all, the stem never clashes with the flower. Just make sure you are choosing the right green for your collection and your outfit.
Your coat changes everything. Even the most relaxed or uneventful look can turn heads with a great coat. Plus, in the PNW, many of our first impressions take place while wearing our coats. So, go for it.
Jumpsuits and dresses make getting ready effortless. The key is understanding which cuts flatter your frame and going from there. Here’s a great cool weather option for your rectangle shaped figure.
The real question is if I can keep myself from buying this ring in multiple colors instead of just one….. I digress. Vintage inspired, confident, polished- this look is all the things. Tone it up or down. Are you going to a party? Go full force. To the office? Maybe skip the faux fur coat. On a trip? Toss in a tee and pair of jeans and you’ve got several outfits just waiting for the right occasions to appear.
And there you have it! Remember, you don’t need to have a Rectangle Shaped Figure to wear all of these pieces. Many items work for multiple body types. If you want to be sure what will work for your frame, check out the post designed just for your body type. Have SO much fun and happy holiday week.
