Dressing an Apple Body Type

As for any body type, you want to draw to your good points and away from your bad ones. For an Apple, this means emphasizing legs, butt, and bust, and drawing from waist/abdomen. Perhaps not the easiest body type to dress, but not very difficult when you know what you're doing.


The biggest things to avoid for an Apple are tops that pinch at the waist, straight leg pants, skinny jeans, and patterns that go across. Okay, skinny jeans are okay as long as they go with the right top. But straight leg will do NOTHING for you. Horizontal patterns make you look bigger than you are.


Since what you SHOULD wear is always more fun to focus on, let's go to that. Apples, you want tops that will make you confident. Flowy tops that drape will distract from a larger waist. Dresses and tops that wrap over the best to accentuate a larger bust. Flared pants and wide leg will both make legs look good and keep top and bottom proportions even. V-necks and statement necklaces will draw the eyes up. Shirts lower than your hips and empire waist pieces will glide right over and Apples mid section. Full silhouette and higher waistline skirts are better skirt styles to go with. The best shoe styles are kitten heels and wedges.
