Dressing For Your Body Type - Apple

Before we talk about how to dress an apple body, let's define the term. Having an apple body shape means: a. you carry your weight on the top half of your body and b. that you pretty much have no rear-end to speak of. Generally your midsection is larger than your chest and your hips. Also, apples tend to have a larger chest.

So, how do we dress this body type? Hide that middle.

Unless you are the queen of confidence, I am sure the problem you are most concerned with is- how do I hide my belly. Well, here are a few tips to help you out.

• Use pattern on your lower half.
• A-Line skirts are essential in your closet.
• Wide leg jeans and pants will balance out your larger upper-body.
• Look for tops with a tunic shape, they don't have to be long but you do not want anything to cling to your belly.
• Empire-waist or drop-waist dresses/shirts will also work well for you.
• Structured jackets can be your best-friend. Structure creates the illusion of a waistline where it should be. This is also a good option when layering. Tops with darting are highly flattering as well.
• Wear a bolder shoe! This will cause the eye to go to your slim gams!
• Again, distract! Show some decolletage! I am not saying full blown cleavage but show as much skin as you can and still come away with your modesty intact.
