Apple-shaped women have a heavier mid-section, broad shoulders and wider torso.  These women also have thinner arms and legs with flatter derriere that is narrower than the bust area.  For a person with apple-shaped figure, it is a good idea to draw attention away from the middle section by directing the focus elsewhere such as the upper body or legs.  Another way is to create more definitions in the waistline.  A great asset for this shape is the legs so don’t be afraid to show them off.

What To Wear

Shorter length and high-waisted shorts will draw attention to the legs.  Avoid anything that cut low at the waist as this may create a “muffin top” that can negatively accentuate your middle section. Focusing on your legs will help add more balance to your look. Wear pants with back pockets to create a definition to enhance your flatter bottom.  Wear pants that are denim a trouser cut or boot cut style. Darker colors in jeans are best.  Avoid super skinny styles will make your upper body appear more round.

High Waist Straight Cut Jeans from Mango

Wear shirts that flow or expand at the waist like a peplum. V-necks and plunging necklines can lengthen your body. Strapless, scoop or tops with narrow bodices draw the eye to your bust and elongate the upper body.  Avoid high necklines and off-the-shoulder tops that can make your shoulders appear broader. Also avoid boxy, baggy or formless tops as they make you look larger.

High heels such as platform and wedges are a great way to elongate your legs or pair nude sandals with shorts to create even more length. Avoid heavy boots, kitten heels, or any shoes that make your legs look smaller and draw more attention to the waist.

There are many appealing spring trends out there, from modern shoe styles to the current denim cut.  As such it can be rather daunting trying to start putting together a spring wardrobe.  There are a few key pieces worth considering to build a trendy wardrobe. As we have been staying at home most of the time last year and maybe this year too, the must-haves happen to be more on the basic side.  Building a wardrobe with fresh basics will ultimately give us the foundation to create fashion-forward looks.

With that in mind, here are the spring essentials we need to build our wardrobe:-

Wide Legged Jeans

Though there is a range of jean styles to test out right now, wide-leg jeans are the denim cut that is trending with their ’90s feel worn with just about any staple in your closet.

Knitted Polo Shirts

This spring, collared polo knits are actually one of the most sought-after basics out there. Whether in a heavier sweater material or ribbed, it is a certified must-have for sure.

Jogger Pants

Since last year, there has been a resurgence of joggers as everyday wear.  Many fashion girls would trade leggings for these sweatpants. You will be seeing basic joggers teamed with sophisticated separates like blazers and other strong tailoring pieces this season.

 

Cardigan Set

Remember the sweater trend back in the early 2000s?  Sweater sets are ramping up to be a top staple among the fashion crowd now.  Whether worn with jeans, trousers, or even a denim skirt, this coordinating staple is worth a try.
