3 tips for dressing for your Apple Shape
Before we get into the specifics of dressing for an apple body shape, let’s share some universal tips. Keep these in mind if you want to dress proportionately.
1. Create balance!
Your body shape is determined by your bone structure — not your weight. When dressing, create balance by proportioning the shoulders, chest, waist and hips.
2. Direct the focus!
Lead the eye where you want it. Create curves, a long vertical line, or highlight your most beautiful part.
3. Use colors wisely!
Patterned, light or bright colors attract the eye more than black or navy. Take this into account when combining different items of clothing.
What to wear if you have Apple Body Shape?
Now that we have established the most important goals, let’s make them more precise. Let’s get to know the best tops, jackets, jeans, trousers, dresses and accessories that are perfect for the apple figure.
The best tops for the Apple Body Shape
When choosing tops, the goal is to create a balanced silhouette, optically reduce the wider upper body, and emphasize the cleavage or the shoulders in a tasteful way.
1. Wrap
The wrap style nicely frames the middle part, it does not stick to the tummy.
2. V-neckline
The V-neckline highlights your collarbone and elongates your body.
3. Loose sleeves
The airy, wide sleeve adds volume to the arm, thus drawing attention away from the tummy.
4. Peplum
The peplum creates a slender waist and emphasizes your cleavage.
The best jeans for the Apple Body Shape
The key to dressing proportionately is to choose jeans that complement the silhouette of the blouse or t-shirt. If you wear a looser style on top, balance it out on your lower body and vice versa.
1. Straight
It lengthens the legs, balances the silhouette, and thanks to the elastic strap, it is comfortable even with a larger belly.
2. Slim
An excellent substitute for skinny jeans. Not too tight, not too wide. Choose a dark color.
3. Boot-cut
Comfortable, loose fit, adds volume to the lower body.
4. Flare
It evens out the lines and goes well with your favorite boots.
The best trousers for the Apple Body Shape
If you want to lengthen your vertical line and thus your legs, we recommend the following trousers.
1. Palazzo
The most comfortable is the elastic waistband style. It hides the belly, highlights your waist and increases the volume of the lower body.
2. Belted
It accentuates and slims the waist, creating a wonderful hourglass silhouette.
3. Flare
The flared leg flatters the silhouette and elongates your legs, especially when worn with high heels.
4. Cargo
It directs the focus to the lower body and adds volume.
The best dresses for the Apple Body Shape
Choose dresses that slide over your midsection, not clinging to your tummy.
1. Empire
The cut creates a slimmer waist, the slightly expanding skirt part adds volume.
2. Off the shoulder
It’s comfortable, there’s room for the tummy and it directs the eye to the face.
3. Wrap
The light, flower patterned material hugs your lines and gives you a bomb shape.
4. Soft fall
The style is optically lengthened by your vertical line and is comfortable thanks to the soft, light material.
The best jackets and coats for the Apple Body Types
The outerwear not only keeps you warm, but also adds dimension to your body by layering.
1. Straight
The straight, long style has a slimming effect.
2. Long waistcoat
It lengthens your vertical line, your whole body looks narrower.
3. Open blazer
It also makes you look slimmer and taller and covers the midsection well.
4. Long blazer
It lengthens the line of the chest, highlights the face and décolletage.
Stylish accessories for the Apple Body Shape
Of course, the right pieces of clothing are essential to create a balanced silhouette, but accessories are just as important for the whole look.
1. Pointed-toe shoes
The pointed toe elongates your figure and results in longer legs. The shoes can be flat!
2. Statement earrings
It directs the focus to your face and creates a dramatic look.
3. Belt
A must have apple for body shape as well. This is the easiest way to emphasize your waistline. Make sure it’s not too thin.
4. Nude shoes
The best way to have infinitely long legs.
The best swimsuits for the Apple Body Shape
With the right styles, you can wonderfully emphasize and equalize the proportions.
1. Classic one-piece
The one-piece style with a belt under the bust highlights your slimmest part.
2. Halter bikini top
Unlike straight tops, the halter style elongates the upper body.
3. Sarong
Covers and slims.
4. Deep V-neck
The bow and deep neckline emphasize your face and cleavage.

3 outfit ideas for the Apple Body Shape
Now that we know which styles are best for an apple body shape, let’s see how it works in practice. Based on the above principles, we chose three outfits as inspiration.
Everyday outfit
A long vest wonderfully lengthens your vertical line and you can also wear it with comfortable leggings with an elastic waist. If you would like to take the set in a more elegant direction, then wear it with strappy sandals, if you would like to take it more casually, with sneakers.
Sophisticated office wear
The striped, form-fitting, but not too tight shirt and the deep purple trousers create a great outfit. Complete the set with an elegant handbag and high heels. The belt should be a little thicker.
Party outfit
The wrap style looks amazing on an apple shape. The soft material does not cling too tightly anywhere, and the deep cut highlights your beautiful cleavage. Choose an elegant deep color such as burgundy or midnight blue. Combine with metallic accessories and delicate, minimalist jewelry.
