Typically apples have: Here are some common characteristics of the lovely shaped apple. You tend to have a softer fuller middle, with full shapely breast. Your have broader shoulders and upper arms with an undefined waist. You will have thinner hips and thighs and a flatter rear end than most. When Apples gain weight, they have a tendency to gain in the midsection. Dressing the Apple-Shaped Figure: Balance is always the goal. Our main goal will be to lengthen or elongate your torso. We want to give the appearance of slimmer shoulders and waist. We need to draw attention away from the tummy, and draw attention to your best attributes which include your much envied breast and legs. Focusing on your assets and emphasizing your positives will make you look much slimmer, and make for a more confident you. Top it off! Wrap around tops look best on you, fitted tops also look great, but nothing to tight. Look for tops with v necklines; this will pull the eye away from your shoulders, while accentuating one of your best features! Because apples tend to have larger breast always make sure your bra provides the support you need! The right bra can make a big difference when it comes to enhancing your figure. An empire, or raised waist also brings the eye up and away from problem areas. A cami, or tank top, with a matching jacket is always a good way to go! Look for blouses that have a cinched waist, or belted jackets, this will give the illusion of a smaller waist, and slim down your tummy. Jackets should fall right below the waist to mid-thigh, never at the widest part of your hips. Wear jackets and blazers open for the best vertical lines. Darker solid colors work best for your tops. If you want a top with some pattern, choose tops that are darker around the midsection, and with the pattern at the top to bring the eye up toward your chest and face, while diverting attention away from your middle. Bring It On! Play up those nice legs with shorter skirts, by shorter I mean 1 to 5 inches above the knee. A-line skirts also work well, as it will give you the look of a waist and more of an hourglass figure. You want to look for jeans that have a flat front, and a rise that is lower than your natural waist. Look for jeans that have back pockets with flaps, this will help give some curve to a flatter rear. Lighter washes and/or jeans with fading will add shape to your thighs. Boot-cut and flared legs will give you a longer leaner look. Textures like chiffon and silk are great options for your skirts, and you can go crazy with bolder colors and patterns. This shape looks best when wearing simple designs, rather than excessive flounces and gathers. When looking for items to add to your wardrobe, always think simple style. Stay Away! Stay away from tops that are too baggy and have puffy or full sleeves, this will only make your shoulders and arms look bigger. Stay away from bold patterns, large checks, and light colors above your waist. Wearing any top with too many patterns all over will make you look big and wide on top and that is one thing you never want to do. Stay away from bottoms that are too tight, as this will also make you look bigger on top. Never wear pants that have a pleated front, this will only add inches to your tummy! Stay away from jeans with darker washes. These will only make your hips appear smaller. Stay away from tapered legs. You will only make your top half appear bigger than it is. Stay away from shoulder pads! You do not need help with this area. Whats My Shape Home Do's and Don'ts at a Glance Shape Matters
