What Is An Apple Shaped Body?
Apple shaped women tend to have an average or larger bust and broader shoulders with narrower hips, slender legs, and a less defined waist.
The general idea on how to dress an apple shape is all about highlighting your chest and legs, whilst defining your waist to sculpt your midsection.
Apple Shape Dressing Tips
- Highlight your assets – Draw attention to your legs or bust, this lifts the eye line away from your midsection.
- Define your waist – Dresses that sculpt your waist help bring your shape into proportion.
- Choose clothes that flatter your shape – Know what styles suit your shape and how you can enhance your best features. It’s all about trial and error to find the styles that flatter you the most.
What Is The Best Dress Style For Apple Shapes?
- Wrap dresses feature v-neck and plunging necklines to highlight your bust and often feature a belted fastening to define your waist at the same time.
- Smock dresses feature a loose and floaty silhouette, so it doesn’t cling to you and nips in under the bust, defining your waist. They often feature puff sleeves too, helping to balance out broader shoulders.
- Skater dresses instantly create a more defined shape with the fit and flare design sculpting your waist and flaring over your midsection and curves.
