Apple Fit

An apple body shape is defined by a wider middle section compared to the shoulders and hips. The waistline is round. The arms and legs are usually slimmer than the middle part.

The most suitable dresses for an apple body shape have waist darts to create a visual waistline. Above-the-knee lengths help show off slim legs and ankles and keep the look light. Lightweight but structured fabric will give a defined and confident look.

Looks that create balance and highlight the legs and neckline tend to work really well. Dresses and tops that define the waist or create the look of a waistline are especially flattering. Above-the-knee lengths can show off slim legs and ankles and keep outfits feeling light. The best look is always the one that feels comfortable and makes you feel confident.

For a plus-size apple body shape, dressing is all about balance, comfort, and highlighting your best features in a way that feels good. Look for outfits that create the look of a waistline, such as dresses or tops with gentle shaping or definition under the bust or at the midsection. V-necklines and open neck styles help draw attention upward and feel very flattering. Above-the-knee or tailored styles can help show off the legs and keep the overall look light. Soft fabrics that move nicely and clothes that fit well (not too tight or too loose) usually give the most confidence and comfort.
