1. a-line

   An A-line is a style of clothing, particularly a dress or skirt, that is fitted at the waist or hips and gradually widens towards the hem, creating a silhouette that resembles the letter 'A'. This design is typically considered flattering for most body types, as it can create the illusion of an hourglass figure. The term is also used in hair styling where a bob cut is longer in the front and shorter in the back, giving it an 'A' shape.
