Women are built differently and because of that there are different rules that apply to each body shape. When it comes to what clothes they wear they have to be careful and know exactly which ones to look for that will compliment their figure. One of the more difficult body shapes is the apple-shaped.
What To Wear To Compliment Apple-Shaped Figures
Try to wear a blouse that will fit just right in the bust area – but one that doesn’t cling. Try choosing something that is similar to menswear – which has made a comeback this season. “The delicate balance of masculine and feminine touches also looks great with suits,” writes Suze Yalof Schwartz of Glamour magazine.
Stay away from empire-waist tops because they will not flatter that figure at all.
Pay attention to the collar on tops. The best ones to choose are boat, collared, and v-neck. “Attention to detail around the neck area elongates the neck,” adds Yalof Schwartz.
Make sure to match up your tops with your pants that are wide-leg or normal. You need to create a look that is perfect for your proportion.
Wrap dresses and tops that will compliment your body type.
Wear clothes that are dark on the bottom – but try to wear bright colored tops.
Stay away from turtlenecks because they will make the busts look to large.
To pull in excess weight wear higher waistlines.
