Dresses
If you're a thin Apple body shape you'll be able to dodge past most of the restrictions but your main closet strategy is to trim that waist. So wear clothes in a way that minimizes and make your waist appear thinner. Dresses Skimming Past Your Midsection, dresses with, shoulder, neckline and sleeve details, structured shoulders to keep the eye on and above your bust, Dresses that skim down over your midsection without clinging like
- Empire waist
- Bias cut hem
- Wrap styles tailor your midriff by visually lifting up your bust
- Low necklines that slim your upper body and draw the eye up
- Make sure the dresses highlight your bust to balance out your frame and keep eyes away from your tummy. A low neckline alone will often do the trick.
Wear shorter dresses and skirts to draw the eye towards your wonderful hips and thighs. An A-line skirt could give you an hourglass shape figure. Find skirts and pants with flat fronts or better yet those that clasp on the side or with zippers at the side or back. Avoid pockets, pleats and gathers near the waist because this will add inches to your tummy. Chiffons and silks make great skirts for Apples and you could even try bold patterns and colours with this fabric in mind.
Stay away from bottoms that are too tight or pants and skirts that are perfectly straight because these will also make you look bigger on top. Try boot-cut and flared legs for pants and A-lines for skirts to make you look leaner.
Tops and Blouses
Tailored shirt hitting from high hip to just below the bottom length worn untucked over skinny pants. Depending on the fullness of your bust and the length of your torso, you can choose shapes from tapered to a slightly fuller cut. Opt for cotton shirts with finished shirttail. V-neck tunics or v-neck tops or U-necklines that hit just on your hipbone.Wrap around v-neck are great to hide a full torso, especially if you´re big in tummy. Ruched tops and tunics will also look great on you.
