Apple
Hey sweet apple! You might feel best playing up your full bust and your amazing arms and legs. Generally, dresses and tops that don’t have a structured waistline will work so beautifully on you. Think breezy A-line dresses, empire waisted dresses, flowy tunics, and relaxed button up shirtdresses. Long V necks and V necklaces help create the illusion of a longer, slimmer torso, and can be your power pieces. Although, you may fall in love with the flaired wrap dress look because it cinches the waist and creates a gorgeous silhouette. If you are looking for ways to hide the tummy area, prints work well to camouflage (especially small prints) and confuse the eye, as do diagonal stripes. If you are looking for more structure, avoid jersey fabrics (they tend to be thin and clingy). Fabrics such as thick cotton, linen, tweeds, and jacquards can do the trick since they are so forgiving. Layering also works really well for apple shapes, just be careful where the jacket hits on your body. Jackets that end at your hip or upper thigh can be really flattering, and A-line or straight jackets also work beautifully! Lastly, remember that light colors attract the eye and dark fabrics draw the eye away, so wear dark colors around the areas that you want to minimize and light colors on the body parts that you want to attract attention to.
Please bear in mind that these principles are solely here to guide you. These are not rules that are set in stone, and they are not meant to limit you! But now that you are in the know about your body, have fun playing around to see which types of clothes suit you best and make you feel like a million bucks. Dress the Wonder Woman that you are! And don’t be shy; I’d love to hear from you!
