If you're an apple shape, you're heavy at the top, which means you have a broad torso, broad shoulders and a large chest, waist, and upper back. Apple women also tend to have thin arms, legs, hips and tend to be fat at the waist. If your body is apple shaped, it means you should be proud of your body and show it off. Before showing off your beautiful body, you should wear the right clothes. If you want to know how to choose clothes that make your apple-shaped body even more beautiful, follow these steps.
Step
Method 1 of 3: General Strategies for Dressing Up an Apple Body
Step 1. Make sure your body is shaped like an apple
Before you start thinking about the right clothes for your body type, you need to confirm whether you really have an apple-shaped body. Some people mistake his body for the shape of an apple, but it is pear-shaped. An apple-shaped body is heavy in the middle and from the waist up, while a pear-shaped body is heavier from the waist down and on the upper thighs. Here are some characteristics for an apple-shaped body:
- Wide torso
- Broad shoulders
- Normal chest to tend to full
- Not so slim waist
- Slim arms and legs
- Flat buttocks
- Smaller hip circumference than chest
- You don't have to have a huge belly to have an apple-shaped body. However, the apple-shaped body has additional weight in the abdomen.
Step 2. Divert attention from the center of the body
To dress your body in the shape of an apple, you should turn your attention away from the middle of the body because that part is already full. To distract from your midsection, avoid wearing shorts, high-cut shirts or clothing that cuts below or above your midsection. You can distract people from your midsection by directing their attention elsewhere by making your waist more shaped.
- You should also avoid wearing clothes with different patterns on the stomach. This will make people pay more attention to your stomach.
- Avoid wearing a large belt that will draw more attention to your midsection.
- Avoid wearing shirts or dresses that are too tight, which will also draw attention to your midsection.
Step 3. Accentuate the chest
If your body is shaped like an apple, you definitely have beautiful breasts so don't be afraid to show them off. Showing your chest not only accentuates your good body, it also distracts from your midsection. To accentuate your bust, it's a good idea to wear a V-neck top or a low-cut neckline, or an A-line dress to lengthen your body and draw attention to your bust.
- Wear a shirt or dress that swings from below the chest and wide at the waist.
- Remember that drawing attention to the chest is different from looking heavy in the upper body. You don't need to wear a fancy necklace or a top with flashy knick-knacks around the neck. You already have a beautiful chest so no need to dress up all the way.
Step 4. Show off your feet
Beautiful legs are often owned by those who have an apple-shaped body. So, whether you're tall or short, don't hesitate to show off your legs. You can do this by wearing a pair of short pants or high heels that lengthen your body and balance your lower body.
Do not minimize your legs by wearing heavy boots, leggings, skinny jeans. This will make your beautiful legs look even smaller
Method 2 of 3: Wear a Beautiful Top
Step 1. Pay attention to the cut of your top
Whether you're wearing a top or a dress, there are some rules for wearing a top that can embellish your chest and draw attention away from your waist.
- Wear: a top with a V-neckline, a low neckline, a strapless top (which looks like a kemben), a scoop top (with a low, round neck cut like ballet dancers usually wear), or a fitted top. This will draw more attention to your chest and lengthen your upper body.
- Avoid: halter tops, tops with high-cut necks, tops with ornate necklines, off-the-shoulder tops, or boat neck tops. This will make your shoulders look wider and draw too much attention to your chest.
Step 2. Choose the right material
Do not wear clothes that are too tight, especially in the middle of the body. You can wear a textured material, such as a woven material to draw attention away from your midsection. T-shirts that are folded in the middle can also make the waist more shaped.
Step 3. Choose the right shape
While the shirt or top shouldn't be too tight, it shouldn't be too big, bulky or out of shape. If your top is too big, you'll look even more out of shape and your waist will look bigger. Instead, try choosing a shirt or top that falls down from the chest, such as a top with a high waist, empire waist or A-line. Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing the shape of your boss:
- Shirt or dress with a ribbon at the waist that can make the body more shape.
- Your top should be longer than your hipbones.
- You can wear a top with a material that falls below the buttocks, or a tunic shirt.
- Wear tops with flared sleeves or cuffs that fit around the wrist.
- Choose a top with a pretty shoulder, decorated with flowers or beads.
Step 4. Put on the right dress
There are many kinds of dresses that can beautify the apple-shaped body. Choose an A-line dress or have a continuous pattern. Another strategy is to choose a dress that has lots of color-block -- a black or dark dress on the sides with white or a lighter color in the midsection will distract attention away from the waist.
- Do not wear a dress with a built-in waistline because it can draw more attention to the waist.
- You can match the dress with a jacket buttoned at the waist.
Step 5. Match the top with the right jacket or coat
The right jacket can disguise a heavy midsection. It's a good idea to wear a single-breasted jacket that doesn't have too much detail. Wearing a structured jacket or coat not only adds curves to the chest and hips, but also minimizes the waist. Wearing several layers of clothing on top will help you balance your figure. Here are some other things to try:
- Blazers and coats that fit your body
- Unlocked cardigan or vest
- Duster coat that goes above the knee
Method 3 of 3: Wear the Right Bottoms
Step 1. Put on the right pants
You have to show your legs to balance your apple-shaped body. By drawing attention to the legs, the body looks more balanced. Don't shrink your legs by wearing skinny jeans, leggings, or other bottoms that are too tight. This can make the legs look smaller and the waist even bigger. Here are some other tricks to try when choosing pants for:
- Avoid pants that have too many zippers in the front as they can draw a lot of attention to your midsection. Try looking for pants with zippers on the sides.
- Wear pants with pockets in the back. This can add crunch to your buttocks and balance the waist.
- Wear denim pants, trouser cut, flared at the bottom, wide, or boot cut.
Step 2. Wear the right shorts
Don't be afraid to wear shorts. Shorts can show off your beautiful legs and minimize the waist. You can match it with a belt that is not too big. You can pair it with neutral colored pants to make your legs look longer.
Choose bottoms with a high waist cut. If you wear bottoms that cut the waist lower than your waist, you will give a "muffin top" look and will only draw more attention to your midsection. Choose bottoms that fit at the waist and make them look slimmer and shaped
Step 3. Wear the right skirt
The right skirt can help shape an apple-shaped body. Try wearing a skirt that has a bias or A-line cut, or you can make your body look pretty with a puffy skirt. Avoid skirts that are too tight at the waist or have a waist cut at your waist. You can also wear a trumpet skirt or a skirt with a hanky hem.
Step 4. Wear the right shoes
If you are apple-shaped, you should balance your lower body by wearing shoes that accentuate your feet. Here are some shoes that you should wear or avoid:
- Wear: platform shoes, wedges, calf-high boots, ballet flats, clogs and strappy sandals. Footwear like this can show off your legs and create the impression of a heavier lower body.
- Avoid: kitten heels, buckle boots, Uggs, or shoes that make your feet too big. This can make your legs appear smaller and draw more attention to your waist.
