Fashion News Body Shapes: How should you dress if you are an apple shape?

Apple/O shape

You are an apple shape if you have small shoulders, a large waist and breasts, big hips and buttocks and slender legs. The main challenge for Apple Shape is creating the illusion of a waist and to balance the overall silhouette of the body shape. But fear not! We are here to help. Apple-shaped women keep their excess weight around the waist and middle. This can make other areas of the body seem a little out of proportion, so in order to dress the apple body, you need to direct the eye away from the waist, highlight other features. It all comes down to flaunting what you have and focusing on your best bits. If you are proud of your décolletage, then choose tops that flatter your breasts without revealing too much flesh. When it comes to choosing a top, your ample bust can sometimes be problematic. It’s all about showing the right amount of cleavage and not over-doing it.

Consider wearing ‘V’ -neck tops. For your bottom half, always try to choose styles that hang low on the waist. Also, create a ‘streamlined’ effect by wearing the same color on your top and bottom halves. Make sure you avoid anything that makes you look bulky (strong patterns, pleats and pockets). The main aim when dressing the Apple Shape is to create curves and highlight the waist. An absolute ‘must have’ item in your wardrobe – the wrap dress. This dress is your staple because it gives the illusion of gorgeous curves and shows off your décolletage. It crosses at the waist, making it look smaller, and accentuates the curves you already have.

Choose flared skirts which will also flatter you and balance out your proportions. Be sure to avoid anything with an empire line as these tend to sit on the stomach in a very unflattering way, creating a ‘pregnant’ look. Well-fitting lingerie is crucial: you must have the right bra, and body-sculpting lingerie can also flatter larger waists
It’s all about playing with the dress lines to elongate your silhouette. Select a dress with a V neckline that will lengthen your neck height or a strapless dress.
If your curviness is not balanced out, avoid wearing overly tight fabrics that highlight lumps and bumps. If you are an Apple Shape and also short, opt for short dresses. Long ones will swamp your shape and make you look bigger rather than smaller.
Dressing to success!
