You're a curvy APPLE body shape

So you're an Apple body shape!

Let me tell you - once you understand how to dress for your shape, everything changes. Getting dressed becomes easier, more fun, and a whole lot more flattering.

In actual fact, as we get older, many of us begin to lose our waistline and these style tips are invaluable!

It's SHAPE not SIZE that matters!

Body shape, of course, has little to do with your size or weight normally, it's just your bone structure that dictates your frame.

So let's make sure we've got it right! 

An Apple body shape carries weight mainly around the middle, your tummy and waist. You probably recognize some of these traits:

• Shoulders and hips are roughly similar in width
• Your middle is the widest part of your body
• Weight gathers around your tummy, waist and back
• Your bust is often generous
• Your legs are usually slim and shapely - one of your best assets!
• Your waist isn't well-defined

Sound familiar? Then you're in great company.

Celebrities like Queen Latifah, Melissa McCarthy, Jennifer Hudson and Drew Barrymore all share the Apple shape - and they always look fabulous. The secret? They know exactly what works. They skim over the middle, show off great legs and draw attention upward with beautiful necklines.

That's the formula. And it works just as well for you as it does on the red carpet.

Golden rules for dressing your APPLE body shape

Here's the thing - flattering an Apple shape isn't about hiding.

It's about creating a balanced silhouette that plays up to your strengths and skims over the bits you're less keen on.

Your best friends are:

• Empire lines and A-line shapes that skim your tummy beautifully
• V-necklines and open collars that elongate and draw the eye upward
• Structured fabrics that glide over your middle rather than cling
• Great fitting jeans - bootcut or straight leg styles balance your proportions
• Statement accessories: scarves, necklaces/earrings that keep attention up near your face

What to avoid:

• Clingy fabrics around your middle
• Belts that cinch your natural waist - go higher or lower
• Boxy, shapeless tops that add bulk
• Horizontal stripes across your tummy area

Show off what you've got!

Here's what I really want you to hear, Apple shapes have fantastic assets!

Your legs are usually slim and toned; your décolletage can be stunning; your arms may be beautifully shaped. So don't just think about what to cover up, think about what to celebrate!

A knee-length dress with a V-neck and an empire waist? That's showing off gorgeous legs AND a beautiful neckline while skimming effortlessly over your middle. That's not hiding that's 'Strategic Styling!'
