MINI SUMMER CAPSULE FOR APPLE SHAPE

Today’s post is for APPLE shapes. Are your shoulders and bust broader than your hips? Do you prefer to minimize your midsection? You’ll find your most flattering styles in this post.

Not an APPLE? Check out my other capsules: PEAR HOURGLASS, INVERTED TRIANGLE or RECTANGLE.

STYLE TIPS for APPLE BODY SHAPE:

1. Shift style dresses are especially flattering. The embroidery of this Boden dress draws the eye in a vertical direction creating a slimming effect and deflects the eye away from your midsection. There are several different designs and colors available in this dress so check it out.

2. Flowy fabrics are most flattering for your midsection so I looked for tops with drapey fabrics like the the pretty rust blouse (from LOFT on SALE).

3. I looked for a navy cardigan in a longer length, but not too long, to keep you looking slim and trim. This lightweight sweater will create a long lean line keeping that tummy under wraps. It will also pair perfectly over the Boden shift dress! This is also a great cardi for PEARS.

4. Tops with punchy prints like this floral LOFT tank will deflect the eye away from your midsection and a great for pairing with shorts or skirts. Print mix it with the striped pencil skirt.

5. The non-clingy polyester fabrication of this yellow LOFT tank will skim your body for the most figure-flattering silhouette.

6. This OLD NAVY ponte skirt was made for you. Stripes are great for mixing with other designs like plaid or polka dots. Make sure to keep things in the same color family and mix patterns of different scales like I did using small stripes (skirt) with a large floral print (blue tank).

7. The waistband on these pull on shorts from Liverpool fit like a dream and should comfy at the tummy. They work well for curvy women, too. So if you’re a PEAR or HOURGLASS, feel free to check them out. (I packed them for Hawaii and I’m a PEAR!)

8. APPLE shapes usually have those amazing slim enviable legs and so can pull off white jeans or printed pants. I have it on GREAT authority that these white SHAPING FIT LEVI’s are perfect for women with slender hips! Please try them and let me know what you think in the comments. It’s available in a medium blue wash if white isn’t your cup of tea.

These are great for anyone with slim hips including INVERTED TRIANGLES or RECTANGLES. You can also try Liverpool jeans with a pull on style (petite and regular sizes available) if you find that more comfortable.
