The apple body shape, also known as the round or oval body shape, is a very common body type among women. It is characterized by having a fuller midsection, with weight being carried around the abdomen, waist, and bust area.
This makes the body appear like an apple shape.
Here are Some Key Features in the apple body shape:
1. Upper body prominence: Apple body shapes usually have a fuller bust, broader shoulders, and a wider back. The upper body being the most prominent feature, drawing attention to the chest and shoulders.
2. Defined waist: Unlike other body types, apples do not have a well-defined waistline. The waist circumference is similar to or slightly wider than the bust and hips.
3. Roundness in the midsection: Apples tend to carry excess weight in the midsection, resulting in a rounder and softer appearance around the abdomen.
4. Slimmer legs and arms: The legs and arms of apple-shaped individuals are often slimmer in compared to the upper body.
When it comes to dressing for an apple body shape, the goal is to create balance and highlight your best features. Here are some fashion tips for dressing an apple body shape:
1. Emphasize on your legs: Since the legs are usually slimmer, draw attention to them by wearing skirts or dresses that hit above the knee or show a bit of leg. Opt for straight or bootcut pants that skim the legs without clinging too much.
2. Highlight your bust and shoulders: Choose tops with V-necks, or sweetheart necklines. Off-the-shoulder or cold-shoulder tops can draw attention to the shoulders and create a balanced look.
3. Define the waist: Though the waist may not be pronounced, you can create the illusion of a waistline by wearing tops and dresses that tightens the waist or wraps around the smallest part of your midsection. Belts can also be a great accessory to define your waist.
4. Choose fabrics and patterns wisely: Opt for fabrics with a bit of stretch that will gently skim over the midsection without adding bulk. Avoid clingy or stiff fabrics that may make obvious the roundness of the midsection .When it comes to patterns, go for vertical stripes or patterns that draw the eye up and down, that creates a lengthening effect.
Remember that, these tips are general guidelines, your personal style and comfort should always be a priority when choosing outfits. Experiment with different styles, and colors to find what works best for you and makes you feel confident in your apple body shape.😊❤️
