When I was in high school, there was this really popular song we used to dance to at parties. Went a little something like this; “Shawty had dem apple bottom jeans, bootz with the furrr, the whole club was looking at huurrr”. As you can see the lyricism was quite poetic and emotional.

Anywhoo apple bottom jeans are an actual brand of jeans designed for someone with an apple body … just kidding I don’t know if that’s true but let’s go with it.
Point is, when you know your body shape, dress for it wholeheartedly. Go even as far as to buy brands made for your body shape if they exist. When those don’t exist, then piece items together that flatter your body the most. But how you ask?


NOTE: WITH ALL OUTFITS, ALWAYS TRY TO HIGHLIGHT THE SMALLEST PART OF YOUR BODY

If you have an apple shaped body, try long cardigans or sweaters

Love On Your Apple Shape With These Simple Styling Tips - Long cardigans create illusion of waist

Long cardigans create the illusion of a waist. They hide your sides and show a small part of the waistline. They also create long lines which de-emphasizes your midsection.

TIP 2: try clothes that have details around your waist

tops that cinch or wrap around the waist are great for creating a waistline

Tops that cinch or wrap around the waist are great for creating a waistline. Doing this balances your midsection.

Tip 3 high waist pants are your best friend

HIGH WAIST TUCKS EVERYTHING IN
Aim for straight leg or boot cut, whichever style you prefer. Avoid skinny jeans and look for long line hemlines.

“Above all, wear everything with confidence and love the crap out of your body. Of course, you know who to call if you need a personal shopper to help you.”
