How to dress an Apple body shape?

Your hips and shoulders are well balanced, that is to say they are nearly same width. But your waistline is not defined.

Best assets of your body:

• Slender and (often times) firm/muscular arms.
• Slender legs.
• Curvy bust and round buttocks.

Best tips for your type:

• The purpose of an apple shaped body is to create the illusion of a waistline.
• Direct attention away from the heavier section of middle.
• Apple shaped body has gentle curves and we need to have more sharp lines on the body to break this up and flatter.
• Add structure, especially to your top half.
• Flaunt your legs or wear the dress with V or deep V neckline.

Best clothes for apple shaped body?

Wear printed dress or layered jackets that changes attention. Monochrome looks, dark colours, full or 3/4th sleeves dresses, and flowy tops are helping. A-line or empire cuts are ideal for you. For bottom you can opt for plazzos etc. to create a balance. Also, because your shoulders are wide and you may already have a bigger bustline make sure you are wearing a good size bra.

Measuring your shoulder can be a bit troublesome as it is hard to levitate the tape while keeping it intact. Wrap the tape loosely around your shoulders very high, at the widest point above your shoulder blades.
