Characteristic
To balance the appearance of apple type is by giving slimmer look to shoulder and waist. Attention should be drawn to the best part which usually the bust and legs. Simple design and style are always the best for this type.
Apple body type is great in wrap around tops that are not too tight. V-neckline can be chosen to pull away attention from the shoulder part.
Don’t forget to use a support bra to enhance the figure. Bring up the waistline by wearing an empire waist.
Empire waist can disguise width around the midsection.
Tank top is great to wear with a jacket or camisole. Choose those which fall through mid-thigh.
Darker solid color or monochromatic color helps to give a slimmer appearance to the tops and produce length to the look.
Straight trousers and skirts with lighter color could flatter slimmer legs and catch eyes to the lower part. The pattern for tops is better vertical.
For jeans, flat front and lower rise is the choice. Light color jeans or fading color jeans could shape the thighs. For longer look impression, wear boot-cut and flared legs.
Shoulder pads will only make the shoulders look bigger, so as puffy sleeves to upper arms. Bare shoulder, however, is also not a very good idea.
The too baggy top is not a great option. Bold pattern, horizontal line, large check, and light color, they all will add width to the torso and thus should be avoided. Decoration in up front will not work so well with a big tummy.
Do not wear bottoms that are too tight because the top will appear bigger when your bottom looks slimmer. Dark jeans and tapered leg make hips look small and distract the balance between your top and bottom.
Silhouette: Full Skirt, Ballgown, Ballerina skirt
Neckline: V-neckline, Queen Anne, jewel, scoop
With V-neckline, the top body can appear less-round and flatter the full bust. To balance with the top, the fuller skirt will surely do a nice job. An empire waist is recommended to draw attention away from a heavy top.
Silhouette: mermaid
Neckline: halter, off-the-shoulder, boat
Apple bodies should avoid any necklines that accentuate the broad shoulders such as halter, heavily decorated, off-the-shoulder, and boat necklines.
Swimwear
Unlike the wedding gown, the halter neck is suggested for the swimwear as it can give enough support to the full breast. Wear underwire cups and thick straps to help to move conveniently with larger bust supported.
Strapless bandeau top will not give enough coverage to full bust and better avoided.
The low cut top is not recommended because it will show off the waist which usually is not so flat.
Color choice is the same as for top is solid dark and bottom lighter with print,
Skirtini can balance the hips and top and can be an adjustment on the level of lower high option.
