Dress An Apple Today!

The characteristics of an apple body type.

* You may have full breasts and a wide back.
* Your arms could be slim, while your shoulders could be wide.
* You could have slim hips and a trim backside.
* You gain weight at the midsection.

Your upper body is larger than your lower half.

# Try an empire waist dress that begins under the bust to draw attention away from the stomach. Empire Waist Maxi Dress Aff. link


# Wear shirts that reach lower than your waist to reduce the chance of "muffin top" escaping from where your shirt meets your trousers.

If you like your hips to look a little more in balance with your bust, try a shirt that meets the largest point of the hips.

# Choose a shirt with a slightly lower neckline to keep the eyes moving upwards. Pair that with a statement necklace for maximum effect.

Fashion For Dummies (aff. link) I love this book, it has a lot of great tips.

Choose  wide legged trousers that will create a more even look
between your upper and lower halves.

Try wide-legged capri's flaunt your slim ankles.

Never wear skinny trousers, unless you wear a longer tunic top over it, for a slimming effect.



Find a skirt that will minimize your midsection.

* Choose a skirt with a full silhouette. Your slightly top-heavy appearance can be reduced significantly, and when paired with a slim-fitting tunic, you'll look positively slim.
* Skirts with a higher waistline, such as one that reaches the natural waist, will disguise a larger stomach and hide any strain or tightness across the midsection.

* Don't wear slim miniskirts with your body type. You will seem far more top-heavy than you really are.

#

Grab the right shoes to complete the look.

* Find a pair of shoes that continue the long lines of your legs. You may want to try a strappy sandal with brief straps and a sexy heel.


* Wear kitten heels for comfort if you have smaller calves. These heels are easier on your feet, so you can wear them all day without trouble.

* Embrace chunkier style shoes like wedges. Wearing a slightly heavier shoe can help to anchor and balance your top half.


Apple-shaped women tend to have large stomachs and a rounded, friendly looking appearance. But this can be a difficult shape to dress. Here's how to look fantastic.


With the right clothes, they can look feminine and fantastic.



Principles When Dressing the Apple Shaped Woman

Many apples wear shapeless clothes to hide their bodies, but this is not the way to do it! Apple shaped women should wear pretty tops which emphasize the bust line and draw attention away from the lower half of the body.

Tailored jackets with open V necks look great on the apple.

Skirts and trousers should be flat fronted and fasten at the side to avoid adding any extra lumps to the belly area. Trouser legs should be wide so that they don’t cling to the body at any point.

Many apples have slim calves and ankles, and should wear pretty shoes with fairly low heels to show these off.
The trick is to emphasize the smaller parts of the body, which will draw attention away from those areas which are a little too large. It can be done!


Casual Clothing for the Apple Shaped Woman

Those with an apple shape should bring the focus to their top halves, wearing an Empire waist dress
which will draw the eye up and away from the tummy. A good bra is essential, as the apple’s biggest asset is her cleavage. Tops can be low cut, and should go in under the bust, then flare out over the stomach; this is the most flattering shape for the apple. Cap sleeves are good as they will help to broaden an apple’s shoulders. Tailored trousers are the best casual choice for this body shape; traditional denim jeans just will not work. Add dainty wedge shaped shoes for a fantastic casual look.

Smart Clothes for the Apple Shaped Woman

Those women with this shape look wonderful in long coats worn open; this is a way to look smart and slimmer at the same time. The clothes worn underneath the coat should be tailored, but avoid anything which clings to the stomach, hips, or thighs. The coat should be of a contrasting color to the rest of the outfit, and contrary to what many larger women think, apples can wear lighter colors.
