Most women who have an Apple shape tend to want to slim their bodies by making their broad shoulders and upper arms slimmer along with the waist and balancing out their upper bodies with their narrower lower body. In order to do this you should draw attention away from your tummy and more towards your shapely legs and full breasts. A well known celebrity that has an Apple shape is Jennifer Hudson. She has done a great job on her weight loss journey, congrats girl!
Contrarily you don't have to be a 'big girl' to have an Apple shape. Some slim celebs with an Apple shape would be none other than Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie.
Great articles of clothing that help to play up your best assets are:
1. Deep V necks to put focus on your full bustline
2. Brightly colored blouses, wrap shirts and dresses work well for your figure
3. Shorter skirts and dresses a few inches above the knee help to play up your shapely legs
4. Jeans with flaps on the back pockets or pockets that are slanted will help give you the appearance of a fuller booty
5. Wearing shoes like wedges will help balance out your body as opposed to slimmer heels like stilettos.
6. Try textures like silk and go for shapes like the tulip that will give you the illusion of a wider hip
Things you would want to avoid:
1. Blouses with puffy sleeves, they will only make you look wider. That goes for those trendy strong shouldered blazers with extra shoulder pads.
2. Wearing bold patterns and light colors above your waistline.
3. Dark wash jeans will make your hips look smaller.
4. Skinny jeans or pants with tapered legs will make your upper half look much wider.
As always if you have an Apple shape you should learn to love your body, however being healthy should be everyone's ultimate goal no matter what shape they have. Slimming your waistline will definitely help alleviate any health related issues and help you live your best life!
