Waist-to-shoulder ratio (also inverted as shoulder-to-waist) is how wide the shoulders read versus the waist — the V-taper.[1] Looksmaxxing body talk: biacromial / clavicle width is the bone; lats and delts are the muscle; waist is fat and anatomy. A small waist on a wide yoke mogs a big chest on a thick midsection in clothes.
This is not waist–hip ratio (WHR) and not a face metric. Most of the change after adolescence is hypertrophy and body fat, not “framemaxxing” a closed growth plate.
