Plus-Size Style Challenges: Solutions for Apple-Shaped Bodies

Post by Magdalene »

As an apple-shaped body, I know just how much a struggle it could be to find flattering styles. But I have learned a trick or two! For instance, I love to wear high-waisted jeans to accentuate the waist a bit more.

What are some of your favorite tips to help balance the top half and bottom half? Do you have any particular brands that work for apple-shaped bodies?

I have a friend with an apple shaped body and she tried high waisted pants and belted dresses and it works so well. You can also try V-necks to draw attention away from the mid-section as well.

You are absolutely right. I also found high waisted pants, belted dress and v-neck to be very appealing. These would draw attention and it will create a more balanced look.

That's pretty good, I know someone who I think can benefit from this advice :)

I agree with you on high-waisted jeans for apple-shaped bodies. Tops that skim over the midsection are also very good as they do not make the midsection conspicuous. Has anyone tried high-waisted options from ASOS Curve?

I love V-neck tops. Another way to draw attention away from the mid-section is to combine flowy tops with fitted bottoms. Lane Bryant offer trendy dresses that can cater for apple-shaped bodies.
