Dressing Your Apple Shape

Dressing Your Apple Shape Apple shapes tend to carry weight around their middle. If this describes your body type, you are probably well proportioned with narrow hips, an undefined waistline, and a wide back. Apples tend to have relatively slim limbs with particularly great legs. Celebrities with a similar shape include Jennifer Hudson, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Sigourney Weaver. A great technique for dressing an apple shape is to elongate the torso and emphasize your legs. Tops Starting at the top, create the illusion of a longer line by wearing a v-neck, scoop neck or open shirt collar. Wrap tops will create a waist as the seaming will create flattering contours around the mid section. Tops with structure will do apple shapes well – look for firm fabrics that skim the body and create shapes as opposed to soft fabrics
