Apple body shape - how to choose clothes that suit you?

An apple figure has a fuller midsection and a less defined waistline. The shoulders and bust are often more prominent, while the legs are relatively slim. With your clothes you can bring out the neckline and legs and create a light, flowing silhouette in which you feel comfortable and confident.

A stylist's advice for an apple figure

Create vertical lines.

Open jackets, longer waistcoats, V-necks and single-colour outfits help lengthen the silhouette.

Choose fabrics that drape well.

Lightly structured or flowing fabrics let clothes fall freely over the midsection without adding unnecessary volume.

Mind where the waist sits.

Dresses with a raised waistline, gentle A-line styles and straight cuts can be an especially good choice.

Highlight your favourite features.

If you love your legs, choose dresses and skirts that show them off. An open neckline or an interesting necklace draws attention to your face.

What to wear?

We recommend

  • V-necks or open collars.
  • Straight or gently A-line dresses.
  • Open jackets and longer waistcoats.
  • Straight-cut trousers with a comfortable waistband.
  • Blouses and tops that fall loosely without too much volume.

What to watch for

  • Very thin, clingy fabrics, if you don't want to emphasise your tummy.
  • Stiff belts that pinch the midsection.
  • Bulky details right at the tummy, if you want a smoother silhouette.

An apple figure can show off the waist too. The key is finding a belt or cut placement that is comfortable and creates a silhouette you like.

Why we recommend it

Strukturētā plecu līnija palīdz līdzsvarot platākus gurnus, savukārt brīvais, pagarinātais piegriezums un atvērtā priekšpuse veido vertikālas līnijas, kas vizuāli pagarina siluetu. Īpaši piemērota bumbiera un ābola figūrai. Izteikta vidukļa gadījumā iesaku kombinēt ar pieguļošāku topu, bet platāku plecu gadījumā izvērtēt žaketes plecu konstrukciju.
