1. A system for body shape classification, the system comprising:
(a) a digital camera;
(b) a computing device with a processor configured to receive input from the digital camera; and
(c) a non-transitory memory storing instructions executable by the processor;
(d) wherein said instructions, when executed by the processor, perform steps comprising:
(i) acquiring a digital photograph of a torso of a subject from the digital camera;
(ii) overlaying a geometric guide over the torso, said geometric guide positioned with a first endpoint positioned at a first shoulder of the torso of the subject with a first edge extending vertically from the first endpoint and a second endpoint positioned at a second shoulder of the torso with a second edge extending vertically from the second endpoint, said second edge parallel to the first edge;
(iii) determining a location of outer hip surfaces of the torso in relation to the vertical edges of the geometric guide; and
(iv) assigning a body shape classification based on the location of the outer hip surfaces in relation to the vertical edges of the geometric guide.
